FLAVOURS TO ADD TO CRAZY CUPCAKES



1. Vanilla essence or vanilla pods added at the mixing stage really enhance the flavour.of flavouring .Vanilla is a wonderful flavouring . It comes from the seed pods of an orchid. Madagascar is the largest producer. Add half a teaspoon of the essence or scrape out the seeds from a fresh pod.


2. Try adding Almond Essence to the mixture, A few drops should do. Then ice the cupcake and add a real almond or sugar almond on the top.


3. Add a dessertspoon of lemon juice and the fine grated rind of one lemon to the mixture. This adds a great zest, rather like a sweet and sour flavour. Top off the cupcake with homemade lemon curd to make it really special.


4. Add a dessertspoon of fresh orange juice and the grated rind of one orange to the mixture. Top off the cupcake with homemade orange curd or a slice of fresh orange. A piece of fresh mint leaf would add to the flavour experience and make it look delicious. Eat straight away.

I was afraid to try this recipe as our elevations are different...but they're amazing! Makes very little, so doubling or even tripling the recipe ingredients will make 2 + batches!

Was a big hit with friends, thanks!
