The Great British Bake Off is Back: Celebrate with Cupcakes!

Bake Off is back mamas! This Wednesday saw the start of 10 glorious weeks of baking inspiration and bad innuendo courtesy of Mary, Paul, Mel & Sue and a whole new bunch of eccentric amateur bakers.

It’s a well known fact that watching the Bake Off without something sensational to snack on is a special kind of torture; add pregnancy cravings into the mix and you’ve got yourself quite a sticky situation. So in honour of the return of Britain’s favourite baking competition, we’ve collected some of the best cupcake recipes from around the blogosphere for you to try your hand at. We’ve even selected the perfect maternity clothes to match!
