wow these are GOOD!
just made them and even my fussy partner LOVED THEM!
they go really well with a butter icing or for something a little different.... try passionfruit icing.
you can make it by sifting your pure icing sugar then adding fresh passionfruit pulp and the juice adding until correct consistancy is achieved. just make sure you give it a really good mix before adding any more to the mix. this saves having to add any extra icing sugar.
please try this at home. you will be loved i garruntee it!
ps. if you hav a hot oven like mine i found it only took 20min at 150dec/celcius
YUMMY SCRUMMY!!!!
these are the BEST cupcakes i have ever had!

yum yum<3
boy! these are the best cupcakes I've ever made. I've also tried the chocolate cupcakes which give me great results. Glad I found your website! Keep up the good work!
I am having a pink themed party for my daughter and wanted to make pink cupcakes. Could i add food colouring to this mixture to give them a pink look or will the colour of the eggs dominate?
Hi Amanda
If you add coloring they should go pink. The coloring is usually strong so add on a cocktail sticka bit at a time until you have the color you need. Hope this helps and thanks for coming by to my blog it is appreciated.

Hi, I'm having a problems with the shape of my cupcakes, they always come out with big peaks in the middle which makes it hard to decorate the way I want. Can anyone please tell me how to get nice flat cakes??
Lindsay
Hi Lindsay
I find that in my oven which is gas that if I put cupcakes at the top of the oven where it is hotter they rise more and go into peaks. If I put them lower in the oven they come out more level because it is cooler.
Sometimes cooking a lower temperature means gradual cooking so they keep flatter.
Less raising agent in the mix.
These are some solutions. Can anyone else help Lindsey out?
