Bringing it back…Black Forest Gateau | Cupcakes and Glitter
https://cupcakesandglitter.wordpress.com/2010/11/03/bringing-it-back-black-forest-gateau
Bringing it back…Black Forest Gateau. It seems to be that, generally speaking, Black Forest Gateau is regarded as being very 70’s and highly unfashionable. It’s one of those desserts that is always stocked in a supermarket freezer cabinet, all soggy cake and faux cream. Bleurgh. I tend to find that my first port of call when looking for classic recipes is the wonderful Delia Smith, in particular her Complete Cookery Course book. 5 oz/150g caster sugar. For the filling and topping. 2 oz/50g plain chocolate.

Sugar and spice, and all things nice…. Soooo, given that this blog is called Cupcakes and Glitter, I thought I had better get on with making some cupcakes with glitter! I was a bit bored this evening, and decided to dig out a recipe that I’ve had my eye on for a while now – Sticky toffee cupcakes with salted caramel frosting.

Gluten-free baking *guest post*. Just to get a little introduction out of the way this is a ‘guest writer’ appearance by Rachel’s youngest brother, Andrew. I will be doing a guest post on the mysterious subject of gluten-free baking and will share with you some of my experiences about this little-explored subject. Fortunately, cake batters don’t. But one complaint about gluten-free baking is that it is hard to get that same texture and ‘mouthfeel’ that you can get with regular wheat flour. This trial bat...

Cupcakes and the City. My most recent batch of cupcakes were for the Rock My Wedding. Meet in London, last Friday, for any readers and sponsors. For those of you who don’t know, Rock My Wedding.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy… | Cupcakes and Glitter
https://cupcakesandglitter.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. 2 tins condensed milk, regular or light. 1 pint double cream. You will also need a 9″ springform tin. Crush the ginger biscuits finely (I put the biscuits in a bag and then bashed them with a rolling pin, but you could use a food processor. Not as good for stress relief, but a bit less messy! Melt the butter and stir in the crushed biscuits. Transfer this mixture to the tin and spread evenly over the base, pressing gently. And that’s it! Impressive results for minimal effort.
