This is my first posting, yay! Having stopped blogging for nearly two years, I was encouraged by another uber home baker, Emily, to begin a new one. And here I am.
I made orange cupcakes this afternoon, managed to squeeze some time in between cooking dinner and looking after my son. These babies have fresh squeezed orange juice and orange zest in them. Love the aroma that wafts out of the oven when they are baking. The frosting is a simple buttercream with butter, lemon juice and icing sugar...and please pardon the non-artistic frosting...I have yet to own a pastry bag...;-)
Wow, love the consistency of your frosting! When I spring clean my baking stash, I am sure I will find my stock of piping bags!
ReplyDeleteLol, I assure you, Emily...the frosting looks better than it feels...! Without cream cheese or stabilisers in it, it was too runny and needs to be refrigerated. Thank you for your encouragement!
