Cupcakes



Hello...... over a week ago I treated myself to this


I know what you're thinking..... what a waste of money, why doesn't she use the cooker??

It cost so much to use our big oven so I haven't made cakes for years. This little gadget is great & it was on offer!

It taken a while to get use to the mixture..... I followed the recipe in the book but it made 21 cakes! As the machine only makes 6 it took forever. 

I was making cakes for the Make, Do and Mend's 2nd birthday so it was ok..... I made plan (I had planned to ice them but OH forgot to order icing sugar on our Sainsbury's shop!) & coffee & walnut..... my fave!



The tin was full so they must have been good!!!

Today I halved the ingredients & made 12 apple cakes..... they're not very big (I have 2 at a time!) but they're handy for my lunch box & saves me popping to the bakery around the corner!

We also brought a Panini maker which has been very good..... I love toasted sandwiches :)

Next on my list is a pie maker...... anyone got one?

I've been so busy making for the big vintage fair in March...... must crack on!!!

  2. Sounds yummy! I have a halogen oven and an electric steamer. They really were fab when I was without an oven for a while. X
