Thought I would share these pics of some cakes we did for Kennys little cousin for his 3rd Birthday

brilliant cupcakes as always.

Also liked the blueberry choux ring - I've never tried making choux before.

I've got to make some pineapple and carrot muffins for DD tomorrow so I'll show a picture and let you know how they turn out. Her homework for the last couple of weeks was to produce a healthy living leaflet for the Y3 children (she's in Y5) and she wanted to include a recipe suitable for a lunchbox. We found this muffin recipe which uses shredded wheat - I'm intrigued to see how they turn out.

Oh Elaine your cakes are fantastic, im sure the little boy was over the moon with them

You probably think this is a stupid question Elaine, but do you have a recipe for cupcakes and icing that you could recommend

My 2 older DD's would love to make some pretty pink cupcakes for the baby's christening in a few weeks, and although ive done lots of baking over the years (I would post some pics on here but I havnt a clue how you do it)we have never made cupcakes, is it just a basic sponge recipe??

Hope you dont think im being too thick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Dad used to make these all the time when I was growing up and recently I decided to give them a go - they were a real blast from the past

Those look so goooood So perfect for summer too with the fresh fruit I love the effect of the dusting of icing sugar over these. No need to ask if you enjoyed them from the look of this pic

Are you willing to share your recipe or is it a family secret?

Not a secret at all Lee - it is actually an old Bero recipe

2 eggs
75g caster sugar
75g self raising flour, sifted

* heat the oven to 200c, gas 6
* whisk the eggs and sugar until thick, creamy and almost white in colour
* carefully fold in the flour
* place small spoonfuls well apart on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes
* cool and then sandwich together with cream and your choice of fruit etc

Enjoy

I think it was yes - suppose it depends on how big you want the drops to be. I used a dessert spoon full for each one. Hope this helps

They look quite healthy too as the sponge is fat free ( apart from the whipped cream filling of course )

I was thinking the same thing - going to work out how many weight watcher's points this will set me back

Does WW charge you points if you put the cream on the side?

 

[ukstitch]

Does WW charge you points if you put the cream on the side?

depends if it tries to jump onto your sponge

I see This Weight Watchers malarky sounds very complicated. I thought they just gave you points
