Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Vanilla cupcakes

    • LadyCJKT on May 31, 2019

      I made this recipe with the addition of champagne LorAnn oil and some rose extract, similar flavour profile to the author's rose champagne cupcakes but without buying actual champagne! It's the first time I've used the reverse creaming method and I was very pleased with the outcome. The cakes are denser than other cupcakes I've made before but more moist. I will happily use this recipe again for a variety of cupcakes.

  • Lemonade cake

      This was a challenging but fun bake. I had to make the cake layers 3 times as the flour kept clumping leading to overmixed and inedible cakes. I don’t think this is any fault of the recipe but I did end up using the creaming (rather than reverse creaming) method for the 3rd batch of cakes. I also made just 1 batch of the vanilla cake and made 4x 16cm cakes to make a smaller cake. I used homemade lemon curd and made lemon curd marshmallows instead of the jellies to top the cake. The piping was hard work but lots of fun to try something new. I’m really pleased with the cake and would happily make it again.
