Yes call me crazy but until recently I swore I'd never bake cupcakes, because well I had a "thing" against them. Actually two things- first of all I hated the whole buttercream thing- eating a layer of butter mixed with sugar and other stuff grossed me out. And second of all, I didnt want to get excited over cupcake cuteness like the rest of the world.
But then one day everything changed. All because of a friend's birthday for whom I decided to make cupcakes for... and I do admit, they are indeed lots of fun to make. But I haven't sold my soul to buttercream yet... if I am going to make cupcakes again I definately need to find a healthier alternative to buttercream!
here they are- naked chocolate cuppies yet to be dressed!
Frosted...
Gold dusted...
And sprinkled in colours and shapes...
So who knows? Maybe one day I'll be writing up a second post on cupcakes...
they're beautiful. I particularly like the photo of your hand holding the cupcake, covered in gold :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should........
ReplyDeletePs. I am not a buttercream liker myself, don't feel bad!!!
Agree completely, excess buttercream makes me queasy, but yours are delightful. Cute, not like those monsters at Hummingbird Bakery. I'm told a visit to Bea's of Bloomsbury converts haters of those American-style cupcakes.
ReplyDeletehmmm they look delicious
ReplyDeletebut i don't like buttercream too
what's the differenz between muffins and cupcakes
are cupcakes muffins with icing?

hey birgit- well the icing is one of the differences but also the texture of cupcakes is different- lighter and 'fluffier' then muffins. personally im more of a muffin person :)
