Jazzed Cup Cake Recipes Please

[onlywantsone]

I make really simple cup cakes

4 eggs
8oz sugaer
8oz SR flour
8oz Marg
2 tsp baking powder

works every time. Yummy

What can I add, or do to jazz them up - I wanted to make mini cup cake style lemon drizzle cakes, or make vanilla icing for them, any tips please as am in the baking mood

If you add the grated zest of a lemon to the mix and then make icing using icing sugar and the juice of the lemon they will be lovely

right, I'll get mixing then

Or you can make a drizzle by mixing some caster sugar and lemon juice. Then pierce some holes in the top of the cakes and drizzle the syrup over them.

When it dries, it will be a bit crunchy.

I added strawberry nesquick powder (4 heaped tsps) and chopped up lumps of a white chocolate bar to my muffin mixture and got passably tasty (and interesting) muffins out of them. The nesuck strawberry flavour is in itself quite artificla but in a nice way. Kids like it anyway.

have made basic cup cakes - they're about to go in oven.

Shall make drizzle lemon topping for them and shall make them - i love lemon drizzle cake but dont particularly like making big cakes, like to make cup cake versions of them

Make icings flavoured with your favourite tipple - I made a huge platter of cupcakes for my sister's engagement party and the icing flavours included:

baileys
cointreau
amaretto
nutella
mint (with chocolate sponge)

Then very delicately sprinkled with appropriate edible glitter and spinkles.

They looked divine and were a real wow moment for the party guests
