As I have already said, I love baking. Not only do I love baking, but my family love me baking. I am the only one who can do it well. I mean my sister bakes, but even she admits that mine is better. So 2 days ago I made these magic mini cupcakes (although, really, they are perfect 'cupcake' size). I used a couple of strawberries to infuse into the cupcakes, I should have used more to get more taste from them, but Lucas(son) had eaten them all. He loves strawberries. So I didn't have any left to put into the icing, had to settle with strawberry essence. And in the middle of making the icing, I found that I didn't have any red food colouring, but I did have some red writing icing, I used that to get the colour. That's why it's a bit dull.
I think cupcakes are the best thing to bake, so quick and easy. And they get eaten up so quickly. There was one left yesterday morning, not even 24 hours after I made them. This really tells me how good they are.
Today, I will share the cupcake recipe with you, I just used the trusty recipe from the cookbook, it does vary a little bit from some of the recipes I have seen, but I think it's great.
