Maybe that’s not completely true but if you don’t like cake then there’s something wrong with you! This weekend I went down to London to stay with my oldest friends (not oldest as in they’re really old but oldest as in we’ve been friends for as long as I can remember!) – Nic and Sian. Nic was cooking dinner for us on the Friday night so I offered to bring a pudding, and since it was Sian’s birthday on Sunday, I decided to make some cupcakes as a kind of birthday cake!

As I mentioned in my previous post I couldn’t decide what flavour cupcakes to make for the Big Brew Up so I made two flavours! I’d faffed around for quite a while trying to make the spirals to go on top of the toffee apple cupcakes so I didn’t have much time so I wanted to do something fairly simple. I also wanted to do something which fitted in with the big brew up theme – so I decided to make “hot chocolate cupcakes”. For a change, I kept the decoration for these ones simple i.e. I just did a swirl of buttercream!

I discovered on Friday last week that there was going to be a cake sale in the office on Monday. Sadly I was away all weekend and didn’t get back until Monday lunchtime. Well, I wasn’t really that sad given that I went to Germany to see Tom! However, I didn’t want to miss out on an opportunity to make some cakes for charity and since the Big Brew Up is happening all week I decided to make some last night! If you’re in the mood to make cupcakes too then keep reading!

The other flavour cupcake which I make fairly regularly is chocolate! Again, my usual recipe is from The Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days book – as I’ve said before, they’re simple to make, they always come out perfectly and I know they taste good! I made these daisy ones for a charity cake sale in the office last week to raise money for Emily’s Big Walk – I always look for excuses to make cakes (especially if it’s for a good cause) so when an email came round about a cake sale I volunteered to make some.

Butterfly Cupcakes
So, what should I do for my first post?! I guess I should start with something simple! The cupcakes I probably make most often are plain vanilla or chocolate – usually because they always go down well and they’re quick and easy to make, giving me plenty of time to decorate them! My favourite recipes are from The Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days book – they’re simple to make, they always come out perfectly and I know they taste good! And the decoration I’ve made the most? Probably these chocolate flutterbies. Although I’ve only made them four times – I like trying new things!
