Baking: Simple Cupcakes


With the weather turning, coupled with a lot of free time recently I have been trying and experimenting with my baking. I'm probably most experienced with the standard fairy cake as they never seem to stay around long in my house! but inspired by programmes such as the great british bake off, cake boss and various pin boards on Pintrest I'm really enjoying testing different types of decorating at the moment :)
For these cakes I was planning on using a standard cupcake recipe from the BBC food website but at the time I could not find the weighing scales anywhere in the kitchen and no one was going to be home for a while so I just guessed the amount which is probably not recommended but fortunately it gave an even better result than usual so maybe all wasn't lost!
Whilst browsing the cake decorating aisle in Asda I picked up piping bags and tips and some Betty Crocker icing which happened to be on offer, perfect. After watching a couple of demonstrations online about how to use piping bags properly (it's actually so much simpler than what I thought!) I was off and away and here are the results :)


I'm looking forward to making some more seasonal baking treats in the next week, Pintrest is becoming a slight obsession......send help
