Introduction
Cupcakes
Cupcakes, those elegant little cakes with their luscious toppings, are not only the latest trend to sweep our cafés but they are also stealing the limelight from former stars of the cake world. The unlimited decorating possibilities and foolproof recipes contained in this book are sure to make these small, sweet fancies a huge success.
Compared to muffins, which are less sweet and more rustic in character, cupcakes are elegant, miniature cakes, which are usually made from a smooth cake batter and crowned with sweet buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
Cupcake batter generally contains larger quantities of eggs and sugar and is beaten until very light and creamy. Once the butter or oil, sugar and eggs have been thoroughly blended using an electric hand mixer, the remaining ingredients are folded in and mixed into a homogenous batter.
Another characteristic feature of cupcakes is the obligatory frosting, which can either be artistically piped on, using a large icing nozzle, or roughly spread over the cupcakes with the aid of a palette knife. Any lavish decoration of your choice can then be added as a finishing touch.
Since cupcakes are luxuriously sweet and creamy, they are an ideal accompaniment to afternoon coffee but are also perfect for serving as an elegant dessert.
Frosting and more –
The icing on the cupcake
Traditional American cupcakes are covered with luscious toppings, many of which are also coloured with food dyes. However, the recipes in this book deliberately avoid relying on food colouring, preferring instead to use puréed fruit, cinnamon or chocolate to colour the frostings. There are, of course, many different food colourings available, suitable for all kinds of occasions, which can be used to brighten up pale buttercream or cream cheese toppings and even the sponge itself. Liquid or paste dyes are recommended to achieve a uniform finish. When deciding on the right amount to use, bear in mind that ‘less is often more’. Start by using a small amount of colouring and add more as required. One attractive option is to divide plain sponge batter into four portions and to then colour each portion with a different colour.
