I love baking. I love cake. Perfect combination?!?!
Before we start, I'm not sure what this post is going to be exactly, but, I hope you like the photos. They were taken with my new camera, so this post will probably turn out as nothing, but a sort of photography post.
For the cupcakes I used the simple sponge recipe: 4oz self raising flour, 4oz margarine, 4oz castor sugar and 2 eggs. As well as a drizzle of vanilla extract and a splash of milk.
I made 11 cupcakes in total - typical, didn't fill the 12 cake tin. So, from now on it'll be called a Becca's dozen - 8 with cases and 3 without. The 3 without, I greased the tin to help ensure they didn't stick.
I made a vanilla buttercream and iced the 8 cupcakes with cases. For the 3 without, I sliced them in half and spread jam on one half, and the buttercream on the other. I then sprinkled a thin layer of icing sugar over the top. On the iced cupcakes I added some hundreds and thousands to make them just that little bit prettier.
