Grandchild summer visit No 2 resulted in a batch of scones and these fabulous cupcakes from Kyle. The BBC Good Food recipe suggests using bought fondant icing, but we made lovely buttercream (soft butter, loads of icing sugar, a little milk for piping consistency) and flavoured it with four varieties of natural flavouring.
We used lemon juice and natural orange extract for the St Clements cupcakes, blended fresh strawberries for the Strawberry cupcakes, cocoa powder for the Chocolate cupcakes and a little strong coffee for the Coffee Cupcakes. Kyle then decorated them in his own style and I think they look amazing ... they also tasted fab!
