Week 12 - The Cupcake Cook & Baking Kit - Fairy Cakes

Quick a serious bout of illness meant I was struggling to cook for a few weeks however one day when feeling not too bad Little Cook and I had a small flurry in the kitchen and made some fairy cakes for an awards night. As you can see from the photo Little Cook was in charge and I sat on the sidelines and 'supervised'.

It was not just a recipe book but a recipe kit which in this case rose to the challenge. My Aunt kindly gave me this little box-set a couple of Christmases ago and for some reason it's been stuck on the shelf and never used. Little Cook loved opening up the box and sorted out with the contents which consisted of a nice little recipe book, piping bag with nozzles and some stencils.

We opted for the 'classic vanilla' recipe as it was easy and also included a little milk in the recipe. I find with the GF flours they tend to be a little drier so the addition of a little extra milk always helps. In this case we just added a little more to the amount in the recipe. 

Very easy to make, the piping bag came in handy, cupcakes were light and fluffy and we scoffed loads whilst they were still warm. The finished cupcakes were decorated with the club logo. These were ordered from Top Your Cake where they specify on their website the ingredients http://www.topyourcake.co.uk/ingredients.html



All in all a handy little cooking set, especially if you have a little cook in the kitchen helping out.
