Loch Ness Gin & Tonic Cupcakes

Bad Girl Bakery

Jeni Iannetta

(3)

"We met the lovely folk at Loch Ness Spirits at a food and drink fair where we really hit it off and came up with the idea of a gin and tonic cupcake. It won an award at the National Cupcake Championships that same year. We only ever use their gin in our cupcakes, but feel free to use the gin of your choice. Go easy and test the filling and buttercream before adding more: some are stronger tasting than others. I have to say, tasting gin buttercream to check the gin levels might sound like a perk of the job, but it’s a little less fun at 6am!" Jeni Iannetta

Ramona Andrews caught up with him to look back on a magnificent career.

Newsletter: 🌿 Fresh spring foraging + cooking across Spain with Hemingway 🇪🇸

For Scottish chef Clare Coghill, spring is when the landscape around her on the Isle of Skye bursts with new life, and is the perfect time for foraging. As she puts it:

‘We call Spring ‘an t-earrach’ which literally means for plants to spring forth from the ground. And the ground is exactly where I look when I start foraging for the year.’

An t-earrach – Spring on the Isle of Skye

Chef Clare Coghill runs Café Cùil on the Isle of Skye. She is a native, born and bred on the Scottish island, where her family have run a hotel for more than 100 years. Skye is blessed with ane exceptional range of seasonal local produce, and at Café Cùil, Clare and here team make the most of this, including foraging for wild ingredients which grow locally. If you have never tried a wild gorse flapjack (or latte) you don’t know what you are missing.
