Long days, summer sunshine and those elusive strolls through daisy filled gardens have finally arrived.
And to celebrate such a drastic climate change here in England, what better way than to bake a batch of summer themed cupcakes?
This didn't take a lot of thought on my part...all my answers were with this angel sent from heaven:
TADAH, BRILLIANCE IN A NOZZLE:
How anyone can live without a nozzle with the capability to pipe out grassy fields is beyond me, and i am thoroughly OVERJOYED with the fact i impulsively bought such a baking gem.
But anyway more on the cupcakes...
The house was barren when it came to ingredients with only a slightly disheveled bag of dark brown sugar in the cupboard...
And, as I always say, If in doubt...add ginger...
And it was with this in mind that I decided to make a CLASSIC ginger cupcake (rest assured not without an equally fitting buttercream).
My frosting of choice to ice these fiery sponges, was a toffee buttercream, which was a great pairing that complemented the sharp note of the ginger.
AND NOW FOR THE PIPING. After a sufficient amount of green dye, a few burst sandwich bags (and a large quantity of mess) my cupcakes were transformed into patches of grass!
The addition of daisies, and voila, summer in a cupcake.
May your days be filled with summer & cupcakes...
