If there was ever a reason to make cupcakes .. He's on page 12 of Prepped and was drinking the Elderflower & Rose Syrup.
I just could't resist him .. and can you blame me ? So I tried out almost all my cupcakes on him from Prepped for a whole month whist he was thatching the cottage opposite.
He loved the Vanilla and Rhubarb Cupcakes with Elderflower & Rose buttercream ( I made at least 6 test batches - the recipe is on page 33)
.. and so to answer the questions that keep being asked in order: 
No he is not my husband.
Yes he's an old friend of my brother.
Yes he really loved the cupcakes.
No whilst he was working on the thatched cottage for a month I got virtually no work done anywhere i the house other than in full view if the cottage he was thatching.
Yes he really was that fit!
Yes I am happily married
...and no.. I am not answering that last question !!!
Sigh ..
I'm off to make more of these then ...
Don't usually go for blondes but there is something about a man covered in straw wearing leather kneepads! Oh the cupcakes are gorgeous too!

Oh err, you confused me this morning. He is on the other side of the page. What are you trying to do to us Vanessa. I was looking on the right hand side of the page for him & he popped up on the right!!!!!!
