Well, considering being run off my feet and having too much to worry about I managed to make cupcakes for a friends little boy today. His first birthday is on Thursday and we were all invited to the park to celebrate. Frustratingly, because I have had to wait in for parcels I had to ask a friend to come and collect them to take for me and here I still sit as I wait for two more deliveries!
I made Victoria Sponge cupcakes and then put some strawberry jam on top then buttercream. I have to thank my dear friend Emma Ward for the the Vic Sponge recipe. I have tried making this several times and always failed. But when I had my baby shower, the friend who held it asked people to bring things and when Emma found out my favorite is Vic Sponge she spent weeks perfecting a recipe and to this day hers is the best I have ever had and rocks my world.
Mine comes pretty close though considering I have so miserably failed previously. Hopfeully everyone else liked it as much as I thought it did. That is on my 'create' list which I am collecting for. A friends and family favorites cookbook.
A picture of the final set:
