Some of you may have seen my trial run at my all-American cupcake last week.
It's a rather simple idea - a red white and blue cupcake. Nothing special but it does look kinda fab. And very patriotic.
I just took my favourite vanilla cupcake, and....dyed some red and blue. Simple.
As you can see the colours kind of merged, and the blue on top went kind of green, but when you bite into them there is still a hint of white in there and you can see the three colours. Sorry I don't have a cross section picture - it began to fall over while I took it but you can kinda see how it works.
I had planned to top the cupcake with some red, white and blue fondant hearts to signify I Heart NY (my favourite place in the US..well the world actually), but after a long weekend of working, and getting up at 4am today to open the bakery I just couldn't face fannying about with fondant. Also I couldn't find my small heart cutter and just didn't have the energy to go through my tonne of cupcaking paraphernalia. I did manage to find my USA cupcake cases and toppers that Ann Arbor Dennis brought me back recently though.
Happy 4th July everyone!
