Recipe No.11 - Very Lemony Cupcakes

Today is my dad's birthday and also my sister's friends 18th so we made them cupcakes (sorry dad you got pink ones too!)

I used the Very Lemony Recipe, I've never made cakes with buttermilk before and I thought they had an odd almost crust on the top..It wasn't hard but just a denser texture than the inside of the cake. They had a light lemony flavour. 
Harriet helped with the decorating by using a flower cutter from hobbycraft to cut roll out icing and then sticking a pale pink pearl on the top using glace icing whilst I piped a pink and cream swirl. This is achieved by lining the inside of the piping bag with food colouring and then putting the buttercream in. I was really pleased with the result! And so were the Birthday recipients!! 








I liked these very much however I think in future I will be sticking to my Delia Sponge recipe as I preferred the texture and they rise better too!
