MY LATEST VIDEOS

If you want to see me salivate in a restaurant over the dessert menu then make sure that there is a chocolate and raspberry option.   There is something about this flavour combination which makes my taste buds dance with pleasure.  Almost a sexy salsa.    So, as I was baking a batch of chocolate cupcake it only seemed natural to me to add a raspberry topping.
