Cupcakes

Everybody seems to be making cupcakes at the moment. I baked them for my friend whose birthday it was on Friday and fortuitously she had just received a tiered cake stand from another friend – perfect timing!

I just got this recipe from the internet but used a simple butter icing as I didn’t have enough chocolate to melt. I’d like to make that killer American-style frosting some time, when I have the patience to mess about with separating eggs (not that complicated I know, I was just feeling lazy).

I also used the little silicone cupcake moulds, a present for my birthday. It would be nice idea to bake someone little cakes in them as a complete gift. I’ll have to do that some time.

These were delicious and very moist, I couldn’t resist the Hundreds and Thousands!
