Cupcakes have become a food phenomenon. These delicious sugary treats featured in small screen hit show Sex and the City and with the thumbs up from New York trend-setter Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) their popularity has scaled new heights. And the secret to their success? More like an easy-to-follow recipe.
Cupcakes are incredibly versatile, perfect for every occasion be it as formal as a wedding or as casual as an afternoon snack; for every season from the chilliest winter to the steamiest summer and for foodies of any age, young or old. They also make a thoughtful and unusual gift for that person who has everything.
There are so many ways to customise how you like a cupcake. Enduring favourite recipes include vanilla, chocolate and coffee, while more adventurous options include carrot cake, cola and key lime. And once the mixture is baked you can experiment with the toppings. Whip up some soft and creamy frosting or lather on some icing, but then what to put on top? Chocolate chunk, nut or slice of fruit? With cupcakes, the options are endless.
