Snow day baking

The past two days have been Snow Days. This means that work has been cancelled and I have been snowed in. Our village is rather small so other than walking or cycling or visiting the pub there's not much to do. So I have spent the past two days baking. My bakes have had a predominately chocolate theme: chocolate cake with chocolate icing and white chocolate chips; chocolate butterfly cakes and chocolate cookies.
 
My fail-safe recipe book is McDougall's Better Baking. I love it for it's no-frills, basic tips and it's the recipe book that I reach for most often. I think these butterfly cakes are just fabulous. They remind me of my childhood, children's parties and my mum.
 
What do you think?
