It's National Cupcake Week! - there's a week for everything isn't there. Personally I don't need an official week, any excuse to get the piping bag out.
These are Raspberry Cupcakes. Pink vanilla sponge, scoop out a little hole once cooked and fill with a teaspoon of raspberry jam then top with italian meringue. Yum.
Stunning, if a little reminiscent of signal toothpaste! I'll bet they don't taste like that though.
ReplyDeleteLol Janice, they do a bit don't they, didn't stop anyone scoffing them though.
ReplyDeletehi yasmin i know you have posted about this but is there the recipe for it anywhere? xx
ReplyDeleteHi, I have just used a basic vanilla sponge recipe / victoria sponge, some raspberry jam and italian frosting or 8 minute frosting. It's 1 egg white 2 tbsp water and 150g sugar all whisked with an electric whisk in a bowl over hot water for 8 minutes, hence the name. Before filling the piping bag with the frosting I drew a line along the inside with colour paste so when you pipe you get the stripe. Hope that helps x
ReplyDeleteYum! and I love your cupcake cases. I recently used the same ones in a blog post too - so pretty!
