Week 4, part 1: Red velvet cupcakes



Week 4, part 1: Red velvet cupcakes




This week was a busy baking week. I was asked to bake red velvet cupcakes for a get together. Not in the British bake off book so to keep with my weekly bakes I also made some sticky buns. I will publish the sticky buns story later on this week.
The red velvet cupcakes are becoming a bit of a signature bake. A lot of people asked me for it. They are soft and not too sweet, they are great! The recipes is on one of the picture.
If you want to make them as pop cake, you will need to bake the batter as a whole cake. Wait until it cool down then break it in a powder. You can use a mixer or do it by end. You might need to trim the outside to keep only the softer part. Then mix in the icing, one table spoon at a time, until it's moldable but not sticky. If you put too much icing it will be too heavy and fall. Mould in small ball and put in the fridge. You then need some candy chocolate. Put your stick in the melted chocolate then put in the ball. Let it get hard then dip the balls in the chocolate et voilà !
