New Cupcakes
I’ve had a week off work so have had a bit of time to test out some new cupcake recipes I have. I’ve tried out three new ones this week, caramel mud, mocha and gingerbread.
 |
Caramel Mud – I have used this recipe before as a full sized cake and thought I’d try it out as a cupcake. Cakes cooked well and now needed to find the perfect icing. Plain vanilla icing/glace was suggested which I tried on just a couple. The remaining cupcakes I decided to ice with a white chocolate icing which was personally my favourite. |
 |
Mocha – This is a new recipe that I thought sounded nice. The cakes again cooked perfectly and decided to try a meringue icing for these ones. I put a little bit of brown colour into the meringue and gave it a swirl for a little colour then piped on the meringue. |
 |
Gingerbread – Another new recipe which sounded good. Again the cakes cooked well and as I cooked them straight after the mocha, I decided to use the remaining meringue on a few gingerbread cupcakes. With the remaining cakes, I will ice differently this morning. I’m thinking maybe a buttercream with some crystalised ginger on top??? Will post a picture after they are done. |
I have been very interested in the new cupcake wrappers which are around. They look devine when done correctly! I purchased some brown tartan ones from my local kitchen shop and thought I’d give them a go. I have used it here on the gingerbread cupcake.
