APPLE CUPCAKES
These delicious cupcakes didn’t last too long. A lovely, tender crumb on these. Great for breakfast, or in my case for tea dates with my husband. I love those! The beauty of working at home is having those tea dates! I like to watch the birds feeding at the bird feeder, the Titi (Jeoffroy Tamarin) monkeys that visit in the nearby bougie and the squirrels pressing their faces against the window or screen door, in hopes of having a piece of banana being handed out to them. Every day the squirrels run around my feet, completely unafraid. Unfortunately they can be annoying at times as the grey squirrels like to eat my hibiscuses and now I have a very few bushes left, and I loved those flowers so much. They are like the roses of the tropics. The red squirrels don't bother with them, thankfully.
