I’ve come out of baking retirement to make these Christmassy cupcakes. I’ve got a Christmas dinner tonight and couldn’t not turn up with something pretty for dessert.
These are my basic vanilla recipe with plain buttercream icing. I found a really amazing silver glitter spray in the supermarket so have used that to make them look extra snow like.
The piping skills are starting to slide but considering I’ve had a break of nearly a year, these don’t look too bad. More Christmas baking on the way!
I actually had some time to bake! These are a gift for a friend who will be making me a roast dinner later. They are plain vanilla sponge and icing but with a giant Cadbury’s chocolate button on top.
these were inspired by finding some dolly mixture in the sweet shop near my work.
I thought they would look rather pretty on top of cakes. Turns out they do!
I’ve kept the cakes as simple as possible and used a plain buttercream icing to stop them getting to the point of party sickness.
party sick = when you have eaten so many sweet things you feel sick. Like kids at a party.
Now you know.
