Cupcakes!

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

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.

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.

Pleasepleaseplease share your recipe for the black forest cupcakes – what did you pop in them for the flavour?

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!
