Cupcake Class!

My Cupcake Bible!

A little while ago, I baked a batch of my white chocolate and raspberry cupcakes for my friends at my mum's charity evening. Lizzie loved them so much that she said she wanted to be able to make them herself. So, last Friday that's exactly what we did!

The recipe comes from "Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery". It's a basic cupcake mix with raspberry jam folded into the mixture, and the the middle cored out and replaced with seedless raspberry jam. The white chocolate icing is made from vanilla buttercream icing with white chocolate and double cream added in. Raspberries are then used to decorate.

Lizzie did most of the work and I just "supervised". The fact that 2 of us have been able to follow this recipe from scratch and produce such tasty results (even if we did create a rather large icing sugar cloud when we were mixing it in the bowl !) just goes to show how amazing that book is. Great present - thanks Mum! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes baking cakes!
