A couple of giant cupcakes

I'm getting the hang of this giant cupcake thing. Here's one we did for ourselves last week.

It's a basic cupcake mixture with buttercream icing and lots of chocolate sprinkles and a cherry. Yummy!



We were asked to make a cupcake for a child's birthday and decided to go for butterflies and bees. We also forgot to take a photo until we were walking out of the door with it, so the pictures aren't that great as we had put it in the only container we could find - does anybody do cake boxes for giant cupcakes? We can't find them anywhere. The cake however, looked fabulous.

I just wish I'd remembered to take a proper photo because I think this is our best giant cupcake so far. Oh well - next time!

Cupcakes that Care

It was the first public outing for Patti's Cupcakes in our home town as all the other craft markets have been elsewhere. We wanted to make them not only as colourful as possible but delicious, too. We always use British butter and eggs from happy hens. We can't bear thinking that our eggs come from battery farm hens who barely have feathers on them let alone a decent life, so we make sure our eggs are from hens that are free to roam and roost and have a good life and mostly we get them from a farm not too far away from where we live. Fairtrade sugar is also important to us. If we are going to make cupcakes then we're going to make cupcakes that care!

Everyone seemed to enjoy them!
