Vanilla Latte Cupcakes

This afternoon I invited my mum and sister over for tea and the grand tour of my new apartment! Alas, I didn't have anything to serve with the tea and so making these cupcakes was very much a last minute decision!

Unfortuntely the new place was without mixing bowls... How did my new roommate live like this?!?! Even though I had very little time, I had to walk to the shops and pick some up! I may have also bought some new and very pretty mini cupcake cases too....

These cupcakes were made by altering a vanilla packet mixture. I used ground coffee and vanilla essence for added flavour to make them very vanilla-lattesque....

Mocha Cupcakes

I've been asked three or four times why I bothered to make cupcakes with chocolate in them if I can't eat them... (I'm allergic to choc!!) But I couldn't resist making these... once again I've been wanting to make Mocha cupcakes for a longgg time so here we are!! Been wanting to use my special blue serving plate too...

Last night a couple of friends came over for dinner (chicken and spinach lasagne) and this was the special dessert! Not sure how they tasted as I can't eat them myself but there's only 2 left so they must have been edible :P

These were made with real espresso shot in the cake mixture and coffee in the icing too for proper Mocha flavouring! The sprinkled topping is Flake which was a last minute addition! :)

Lemony Cupcakes

My first try with cupcakes that's something other than chocolate or vanilla!! They don't look as pretty as I wanted them to be, but they're going to taste awesome! And... that's what counts most right? :D

I used lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice (thank you mum for the jucicer!) in the mixture and lemon juice again for the icing. I'm thining next time I'll colour the icing as well to make them super-bright to match the flavour!

Purple CuppyCakes

I was talked into making over 50 cupcakes for my sister's friends birthday... okay she didn't really have to talk me into it! Any excuse to make LOTS of cupcakes is good for me!!! There were both pink and purple ones but here is just a littttle bit of a sample :)

Superman Cupcakes

Made for my very best friend's birthday many many years ago... Light vanilla cupcake base with super bright blue icing! The Superman logos came from children's party favours found on ebay! You can't see it here but the cupcake cases were also Superman design :)
