Shrimp & banana cupcakes

I made these so I could try out new icing techniques, the sponge yet again is a simple vanilla sponge with cut up bits of shrimp and banana sweets, the sweets melt whilst cooking this gives the sponge a better flavour!

The icing is divided into two and coloured, in a piping bag I put one table spoon of yellow followed by the pink I repeated this until the bag was full. I then topped each cupcake with the icing ad finished with a shrimp and banana

Earl Grey Cupcakes

I was trying to come up with british flavours for the Jubilee , us brits certainly like our tea so I thought why not early grey!

I used the simple Vanilla cupcake recipe from The Hummingbird bakery, that recipe includes milk so I boiled the milk with 3 Earl grey tea bags and added it just like I normally would!, the icing also has earl grey in it this time I used one tea bag with a small amount of boiling water the recipe for the icing is also from The Hummingbird instead of milk I used the Earl grey!

Peanut butter Dino time!

Last night I was craving something sweet the only thing I could find was peanut butter so me being me I put two and two together and baked peanut butter cupcakes.


The recipe is
160g Butter
170g Caster sugar
170g Self raising flour
3 Eggs
3 tbs Coco powder
2 tbs of Peanut butter
a few drops of Vanilla essence

Cream together the sugar and the butter until pale, add the eggs one at a time then sieve the coco powder and the flour together , add to the egg mix when all ingredients have been mixed together add the peanut butter and vanilla essence.

Put 12 cases into a deep bottomed baking tray, fill each case to 3 quarters full, bake for about 2O mins

For the topping,
80g Butter
250g Icing sugar
2 tbs Peanut butter
A few drops of milk

Beat together the icing and the butter to form the texture of breadcrumbs add the milk followed by the peanut butter.

Pipe, decorate finished!

Enjoy!
