Rhubarb, Caramel and Pistachio Cupcakes

Posted in Cupcakes, Fruit/Veg, Nuts, Spring, Summer, tagged , , , , on May 7, 2018| Leave a Comment »

It’s been a while since I made some cupcakes, especially ones that were an usual flavour and not just vanilla/chocolate with decorations on. So when I decided to go down to London for the afternoon to meet my best friend’s baby, I offered to make some cupcakes to take. I’ve already got a lot of rhubarb (I’ve made rhubarb and raspberry Frangipane tart, rhubarb crumble muffins, and I still have about 750g left!) so I decided to bake something with rhubarb.

I’ve always wanted to have a go at making fondant fancies and a few weeks ago it was my friend Karen’s 30th Birthday and all the food for the party was kids party themed, so this was the perfect opportunity to give them a go. I definitely need a lot more practise as they aren’t the easiest thing to make, but I had a bit of fun trying them out. The party food was great –  I can’t remember the last time I had Skips or cheese and pineapple on sticks – amazing! Click here for the recipe.

IMG_3596Last week on Friday we got home from work to find a bowl full of eggs fresh on our doorstep, from our neighbours. I decided that in return for the eggs, I would bake them some cupcakes. I’ve had these pinned on Pinterest for ages and decided that they were the perfect cakes to make – spring-like and quick to make. Click here to find out how to make them.

Sheep Cupcakes

IMG_3590A few weeks ago I made some cupcakes to take to the Leeds office when I went down for the day. I was planning on making them again to take to work but I was too busy/tired and then got ill. I didn’t get any good photos of them so I realised that if I wanted to put them on the blog I’d have to make them again… what a shame! Click here to make these sheep… Baaaaa!
