“Cupcakes are over,” says Michael Hogan in today’s Guardian. Apparently “bunting” is the new thing. But I doubt your “bunting” is as simple to make and also eat, sir.
Ingredients.
90g butter
2 eggs
150g caster sugar
300g self-raising flour
125ml milk
Vanilla essence [optional]
For the icing
Butter
Icing sugar
Tablespoon of milk
Method.
1. Place everything in a bowl and mix well.
2. Spoon the mixture into cupcake papers (or silicon cupcake cases, which are a lot more practical but give you naked cupcakes).
3. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes, remove to cool.
4. For the buttercream icing, combine soft butter and icing sugar until smooth, and a little milk which will make your icing “extra fluffy and delicious” (thanks Becci for the idea).
5. Ice the cakes.
In conclusion, kindly shove your bunting up your c—ting, Michael Hogan. I’ll stick to baking.
These cupcakes are delicious. I don’t even know what bunting is except those little flags on a string they hang up for parties.
That is exactly what it is. YOU CAN’T EAT IT!!
