Ice Cream Cupcakes!

Deceivingly Tasty!

These little ice creams are cupcakes! I used a recipe from Carol Deacon's book that I got at the Cake International show to create these little beauties! I am so please how they turned out!

 

The cake mixture is a plain madeira cake which has been flavoured separately with lemon, peppermint and vanilla to give different ice cream flavours. The cake mixture is then poured into the ice cream cups, which are covered in foil to stop them burning in the oven.

The pinky ones are vanilla flavoured sponge with strawberry jam buttercream. The white ones are lemon and vanilla sponges with lemon and vanilla buttercream. The mint coloured one is mint flavoured sponge and mint choc-chip buttercream! For the domed ones I just used a palette knife, but for the 'Whippy' ones I used a giant open star nozzle!

This cupcake is my favourite! Just in case you were wondering, they also taste really amazing! This is defiantly my favourite bake so far! They are quite easy to make and you can be really creative with them as you could use any sponge mix and any buttercream/topping you want.

Thanks for reading!
