Viva Las Cupcakes!

Last weekend, Highland Angel attended a fabulous Mexican dinner party with chilli con carne, frozen margaritas and a pinata for afters! Responsible for bringing dessert, we decided to experiment with some fiesta flavours - here's how we got on...

The Comeback Kid

Remember us? We're sorry we've not been around recently... it's been an incredibly busy start to the year at Highland Angel HQ - we can't believe it's Valentine's Day already! Here's a quick look at our 2014 so far and we promise there will be lots more to come!

Seasons Greetings

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!

Thank you for all your support in 2013 x

The Final Countdown...

It's hard to believe Christmas is only six weeks away, which means we have just over two weeks left before the official countdown begins! I've always liked the idea of creating my own advent calendar and have spent the last few days looking online for inspiration. There are loads of great ideas but this is my favourite so far...

Icing On The Cake

PINTEREST.COM

Lots of my favourite blogs have recently posted about cake bunting, which is the sweetest thing ever! We think it's a great idea for festive feasts like Thanksgiving and Christmas, so have posted below some instructions about how to create your own and also a couple of links to lovely templates! Happy decorating!

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato...

Last weekend Emily cooked up a big batch of Green Tomato Chutney which looks absolutely delicious! She stored it in jars and is keeping it for Christmas presents (we have our fingers crossed that one will appear at Highland Angel HQ!) which got us thinking that it would be a fantastic recipe to share with just 10 weeks until the big day! If you'd like to make your own, here's how...

September Sweetness

As always, it's been a busy month at Highland Angel HQ. Our lovely team has expanded, we're getting ready for Christmas and have lots of new products and exciting plans in the pipeline. We also updated the Press section of our website to include our BRIT Awards coverage - take a look here. Inspired by the Great British Bake Off, we've also been busy in the kitchen, attempting to master the macaron. Here's how...

Take My Hand...

... I'll show you the way. In general, men prefer to lead not follow - they hate asking for directions, complain about being dragged around the shops and always seem to know a shortcut when driving. But not Russian photographer Murad Osmann - he was quite happy to let his girlfriend guide him around the world and share the results...

Shaken Not Stirred...

It's festival time in Edinburgh which means street food & buskers, cocktails & comedy shows and after-work drinks in the sunshine. These fun flamingo invitations, designed by Amy Moss at Oh Happy Day (www.ohhappyday.com) are perfect to keep in your purse, ready to make impromptu drinks dates when you bump into a friend. They're simple to make - just print, construct and write your details on the reverse! Here's how...

It's A Wrap!

Highland Angel is delighted to introduce our new collection of pure silk scarves! We have two designs available in eight gorgeous colourways, both measuring 100cm x 100cm.

Little Somethings

Every week we search the web for funny and interesting things to share with you and along the way, discover dozens of lovely photographs which are not relevant but too pretty to skip past. I've saved hundreds of quirky and beautiful pictures and decided to share a few today, along with a couple of wonderful blogs if you're in the mood for sweet nothings such as these...

When Life Gives You Lemons...

... give yourself a mid-week mani! We're obsessed with The Beauty Department's latest offering - it's the perfect simple summer design. Here's how to make your fingers look freshly squeezed...

Hello... Is It Me You're Looking For?

Hello everybody!

We're sorry it has been a while since our last blog post...

We've been having a very busy time at Highland Angel HQ which is great news but please don't think we have abandoned you!

We'll be back next week x

(& in the meantime here's a photo of Mack to make you smile)

One Potato, Two Potato, Three Potato, More!

You say potato, I say potato... baked potatoes are a cheap and cheerful dinner but it's easy to become fed up with fillings like beans, tuna and cheese. Luckily, Buzzfeed have come up with a list of 23 fantastic fillings, perfect for light summer suppers! We've picked our favourite four but for the whole list (which is too good to resist), visit http://www.buzzfeed.com/arielknutson/amazing-ways-to-eat-a-baked-potato-for-dinner

What It Feels Like To...

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to walk on the moon? To be struck by lightning or bitten by a shark? You've probably never been shot in the head or won a Nobel prize and you're probably not seven foot tall...

Our Month In Pictures

Once again we've had a fantastic month at Highland Angel HQ, filled with adventures, cakes, a new team member and of course lots of hard work! Follow our highlights after the jump...

Spice Up Your Life

 

It's the little things that make a house a home - rearranging the furniture, a fresh lick of paint or even hanging a couple of new pictures can transform a room and make it feel brand new. We think these jar labels are brilliant - download free then print on a sheet of one-label paper and add to glass jars, tins or little ceramic pots to brighten up your kitchen.

Pop Idol

If you're planning a movie night this weekend, forget traditional sweet and salted... pop til you drop with our delicious homemade popcorn recipes!
