amazing, as usual

i'd love to try some coffee flavoured cupcakes sometime.

 

[Cinnamonster]

Thanks
There's a coffee-and-something-else-cupcake recipe in my book but I'm not a huge coffee fan. I like tiramisu but that's it.
I might give the recipe a go sometime.

I have a recipe for tiramisu cupcakes from the woman's day, but I just made choc chip muffins so have to eat those first.

All your cupcakes look very pretty.
I was wondering if I could ask a few questions about cupcakes. *I'm a horrible cook so bear with me x)*
I've never made cupcakes without using the pre made base. Sooo I was wondering, can you use plain flour instead of self raising flour? ANNND! Do pancakes and cupcakes have the same/similar bases?
Thank you.

 

[Cinnamonster]

If you don't want to buy SR flour then you can use plain flour BUT you need to add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. That's basically just making your own SR flour really. You cannot use plain just as it is because the cakes won't rise that much (chances are they won't even rise) and would end up pretty miserable looking and no one wants that to happen.

Some cake recipes do call for a little bit of plain flour but chances are these recipes will also include SR. I guess this is because there was already enough SR flour in the recipe for the cakes to rise properly but the recipe still needed a bit more flour without the effects of SR flour.

Pancake bases are a bit different. When I make pancakes I use an egg or two (depending on how many pancakes I want to make), sugar, milk, plain or SR flour (depends on what happens to be in the pantry) and a little bit of vanilla extract (because it's nicer than vanilla essence). I don't really measure ingredients when I make pancakes but there are about a billion recipes online to check out if you're more into following a recipe rather than just winging it. Pancakes don't need any butter in the batter, only in the fry pan when you start to cook them.

I hope that helps you

slight tangent, but a good pancake recipe I found was just 1cup milk, 1cup s/r flour and an egg, plus sugar if you want. it sounded too simple to be true at first, but they were actually really good o___o

 

[Lilyy]

Oh okay, ty.
Yeah I'm the sort of person who kinda just does things randomly rather then following the recipe. xD Yeah I put in some baking soda but I think I need more. @_@"
And the pancake thing - it was because originally I was going to make pancakes then I changed my mind and now I'm making cupcakes. Well I think its pretty similar. xD Hopefully it will turn out okay.

*EDITS*
Just posting about how the cupcakes went - They turned out okay.
I mean they weren't uncooked or burnt. xD
So I did end up successfully turning my pancakes into cupcakes. xD
Minor flaws -
Forgot to add more sugar, so it turned out a little (Understatement) plain.
Oiled the wrong side so the cupcakes ended up being stuck to the little paper cupcake cuppie things.
Annnd my icing was too watery and I couldn't fix it. =/ Any hints/tips for this one?

Yup so thanxs guys. x) Trying again tomorrow.
