I have been told in this day and age it is rare for a 21 year old female to find cooking such a hobby, so i decided to write this blog to keep record of my experiences and cooking conquests. Im definatly big on simple but good meals, and of a decent size! Anything I post up will more than likely be good simple and as Kiwi as can be :-) Hopefully along the way I may inspire other to give it a go, who can resist good food...apart from Posh Spice and Nicole Richie!

Mini Cupcakes...Recipe can make large ones too!

I made these mini just because I had the mini cupcake papers and i think they are super cute!

Ingredients:
125g Butter, softened
1tsp Vanilla essence
2/3 C Caster Sugar
3 Eggs
1 and 1/2 C Flour (One and a half)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 C Milk
Icing Ingredients:
2 C Icing Sugar
2tsp Butter
2Tbsp Milk
Food Colouring (optional)
  1. Preheat over to 180 Degrees
  2. Put paper cases in mini muffin tray (or big muffin tray if using large cases)
  3. Combine all ingredients and beat for 3 mins, or until mixture is smooth
  4. Drop teaspoons of mix into the cases or until about 3/4 way up the case
  5. Bake mini cup cakes for about 10-15mins or until golden (large 20mins)
  6. I turned the tray round a bit over half way to ensure even cooking.
  7. Let cool and ice with icing below.
  8. Mix icing ingredients together until smooth heat if needing to soften
  9. Spoon over cupcooks drizzling so they spread evenly, you can ice normally if you prefer, I find drizzling quicker.

Wala finished product :-)
