I LOVE cupcakes and own two cupcake recipe books; For the Love of Cupcakes which I’ve tried and tested, and Kinky Cupcakes which is a little bit above my expertise level (but I cannot wait to have an excuse to use these!). This post contains some photos using recipes from the first book.

I have loved butterfly cakes since I made them with my mum as a little girl. They’re so easy to make; you just need a basic cupcake mixture. For those who have never had these; you cut out a section from the top of the cake, fill it with butter-cream (butter mixed with icing sugar) and then cut the removed part into two ‘butterfly’ wings which you put on top. Sprinkle with icing sugar and voilà!

These are from For the Love of Cupcakes. They are so rich and yummy.

I made these (again from my wonderful cupcake book) for the teachers at the school where I did a placement a few years ago. I made another batch, a less sweet recipe of Ginger and Lemon (which I quite liked) but apparently English teachers have a sweet tooth!

Yep, these are just a chocolate version of butterfly cupcakes, however, I couldn’t find a better alternative photo. I am a chocoholic so generally, most chocolate cupcakes are amazing to me!

I have not made my own of these, but I’ve eaten my fair few and I love them! They’re usually my first choice for a cupcake.

What is your favourite cupcake?
