I have been busy spending my time baking cupcakes following my Amazon spendathon. Have now accumulated a variety of cake toppers and sprinkles and have become obsessed with the darn things! The Handyman is rapidly going to get bit of a belly if I don’t stop feeding him up as I have also discovered that although I love baking, my constant dieting prevents me from eating any of them.
Having tried baking a variety from ‘The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook‘ and ‘Cupcakes From the Primrose Bakery‘, I have decided that the latter are my favourites. Although they are chock full of sugar (500g of icing sugar!), they are the lightest of the bunch and even I was tempted by the peanut and chocolate cupcakes (and not just for the retro packaging of the ingredients either!). As for the lemon cupcakes, they are a zingy treat that remind me of sherbet lemons and summer afternoons. More baking days ahead I think, although I might start to cut back on the sugar…
