Ohhh Lou, thats brill! Looks yummy inside...!

Ive just finished making my chocolate sponge and raspberry and choc cupcakes...

The sponge was brill, went pretty well, ant said it was light and fluffy :happydance: but the cupcakes...well UHMM didn't go exactly as planned:dohh: Why did they spill over the top and stay quite flat, ladies? I tried doing a few with less mixture but they didnt rise enough, and then my new icing bag split so had to do the rest with a spoon! None of the nozzles were big enough really to get a nice swirl.
The icing was meant to be light pink, but just a touch too much of the red food dye...and then they didnt stay together very well once taken out of the paper cups..:dohh:

Lily enjoyed decorating them though:thumbup:

actually, do I need a deeper muffin pan...i used a bun pan..?
 
Lovely cakes lolly and jac!

Jac you need a deep bun tin to help stop the cakes 'spreading' I usually fill the cupcake cases up about 3/4 full xx
 
Hmmm yeah, how do I manage to get my cakes sooooo big?????:haha:

tastes even better this morning:cloud9:

I broke my electric whisk last night too...so gotta buy another before any more cake making for me:cry:
 
i bulk bought a few whisks from tesco :rofl:

i can never ever get my cake that big!!
 
Woah that choccy cake looks amazing! I LOVE chocolate cake!!

I have to remember to buy it new whisk this week, mine was kind of hot the last time I used it so its on its way out! (and I'm not having much luck with kitchen appliances!)

The money I make from cakes the next few months I am going to save and buy a kitchen aid i think :blush:

a snip at £359! :shock: Tried to get OH to buy me one but he's not having it!!
