Egluntyne Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Got a copy of this for Mothers Day. Just made the Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting. Heavenly. Light as a feather. Made 12 and here are 2 left. Or there were last time I looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It is fabulous I treated myself to it The strawberry cheesecake cupcakes are (In fact I have been promising Koojies daughter Erin I would give her the recipe ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think I am right in saying that there is a really lovely recipe for a lemon cake with poppy seeds in it in there that my OH made. He used whole eggs instead of just egg whites which the recipe said, and it was lovely. He also left out the lemon syrup and just did the icing. It is a lovely book, I bought it from the Book People for £4.99 for my OH for Christmas, he is the cupcake king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm hoping to get this book for Easter...less calories than an Easter Egg...that is until I start baking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinesupernova Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I bought it recently, but have been that busy I haven't had time to open the cover. Desperate to have a go now...... just need an excuse to make cake ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Oh dear I accidently popped this book into my basket when I was ordering the book club books I was going to have it instead of an easter egg but seem to have bought myself one of those too My excuse is I have a new mixer to try different recipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 So did you get the Kitchenaid one? I got this book last week so must try it now. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I did - I've got a glorious shiny red one. Its actually virtually the same colour as my OH's motorbike so he really likes it too I've only made meringues so far so I've got to get baking and mixing. So far so good. My YS really, really likes it too and can't wait to use it. I'm guarding it at the moment though, its mine, all mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 One of these books called my name on a flying visit to Waterstones today. It would have been rude of me not to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am so jealous of anyone with a kitchenaid mixer I've got a mini version of the book and made the vanilla cupcakes out of it last weekend. They were lovely, mine welded themselves to the paper cases though although after a day or two iced in a tupperware box they came away really easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinesupernova Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I had a go at the vanilla recipe today and made some cupcakes for the charity fund-raising day at the toddler group this afternoon.

fluffyknickers Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yes i make the brownies quite a lot and they are the best and VERY easy. I make a lot of the cupcakes - will try and post a photo by in the meantime will this work - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/photo.php?pid=4773241&id=787146718 I am making 60 of the cupcakes for a friends fundraiser and also making my brother and his fiancee them for their wedding (on a stand with a wedding cake at the top). Have made lots of the other items including the three later choc cake but found the filling a hassle so now just make a ganache (cream and choc).
