Cupcakes

Yesterday my sister and I made cupcakes together and tested out my new piping bags and nozzles. We made a batch of vanilla cupcakes and turned the large ones into lemon meringue cupcakes by spooning out some of the centre of the cupcake and adding a dolop of homemade lemon curd and topping them with two egg whites that had been stiffly beated with 1/2 cup of castor sugar. Then piped that on and baked for about 5 mins or until slightly coloured. They taste amazing. I got the recipe for these yummy treats from the cupcake queen herself, Lesley.

The baby ones we just topped with strawberry flavoured buttercream icing. Think it needed a little more icing sugar in it though as the icing is a bit too glossy and looks bit oily but the girls love them.

So here are some pics of the cupcakes.
