Cupcakes!
I love baking cupcakes, and realised that I don’t actually have many photos of them online.
So here are some now :)

Vanilla cupcakes with lemon icing

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate flakes

Bright vanilla cupcakes with strawberry and apple flavoured icing

Vanilla cupcakes I made for my hen's tea party with Malibu, Cointreau and Kahlua icing

A selection of cucpakes for Ms Constantine's birthday

Blue Obama cupcakes (not the obscene version)
Well, we’re not American, but Obama’s presidency gave me an excuse to be silly with cupcakes. If you want to know what I mean, see my post on Cocktails and Obama Cakes.

Dark chocolate cupcake with lemon icing

Trial cupcakes for the brother-in-law's wedding

The 72 cupcakes we made for the brother-in-law's wedding. Flavours were chocolate, vanilla boysenberry and lemon, with vanilla or lemon icing.

Dark chocolate black forest cupcakes with fresh brandy cream
All my cupcakes are variations of the basic Scout’s Cupcakes recipe (see my Tea Party Essentials post) – the most simple, fail proof recipe for light, fluffy cupcakes.

I just used tinned cherries. They were enough for a subtle flavour, and gave them a yummy tangy moistness. See http://www.eggshellgreen.com/2008/12/23/black-forest-cupcakes/

Oh, and I also flavoured the cream with some brandy! :)

These cupcakes look incredible – and probably taste even better. Soooo talented!
You should quit your job & open up a bakery – or start a catering business!

YUM!! I’m craving your cupcakes now. I refuse to make them without you. My kitchens too small, my ovens shit, I can’t bake as well as you, and I have no decorations.
WANT!
