Get Baking! It’s National Cupcake Week

Why can’t every week be a national cupcake week? This tempting treats are perfect for parties, after dinner dessert or just snacks for whenever. Kids love helping to make and decorate them, too. So, turn this week into a week of family baking fun!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

These Red Velvet Cupcakes look so good you can nearly smell them from here. Good thing you can’t or your mouth would probably be watering right now. To kick off National Cupcake Week we decided to start with this recipe from Averie Cooks. Making these are super simple and what’s even better is they taste like they are fresh from the bakery. Want to give them a bit of a twist? Pipe a bit of the vanilla cream cheese into the centre for a stuffed variety.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Peanut butter and chocolate go together better than peas and carrots. Stick an actual Reese’s Peanut Butter cup in the centre of your cupcake and it turns into something magical. This recipe from Tastes Better from Scratch caught our eye this week. The frosting is a peanut butter frosting on a chocolate sponge base. Within the sponge base there is a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup, with crushed peanut butter cups for garnish. Looks, smells and tastes divine.

Worried about burning the bottoms of your cupcake concoctions? Multifunction Ovens have the perfect settings to make sure your cupcakes cook evenly and perfect every time.

Toffee Crunch Cupcakes

Love toffee? Love coffee? These cupcakes are a decadent combination of the two. We fell in love with the toffee frosting, chocolate dipped top and toffee flourishes. The recipe is relatively simple and will be easy to adapt to British ingredients. We like them so much we can’t wait to see what else Bakers Royale has to offer.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Filled Cupcakes

Grab a pen and get to writing a shopping list for these tantalising dark chocolate raspberry filled cupcakes from Java Cupcake. This recipe is so good it’s nearly gourmet. The only downside to them, you won’t want to share them with anyone!
