There is
nothing that lifts my mood more than baking (ok except maybe a glass of wine
with my bestie). Honestly, it’s not necessarily even what I’m baking, but
the creating, taking raw ingredients, mixing them all up and then having some
fun making the end product beautiful. It really has nothing to do with the
tasting in fact. That is just a bonus…
So when I
came home from a long day I knew that I needed to bake. I was looking for
instant gratification, so I admit I cheated. I used a box mix (gasp). But in
truth, it works. Yes, it is not my mum’s delicious, moist chocolate recipe, but
it offers instant cupcakes and instant opportunities for fun.
I was in
the mood for pink so added a few capfuls of pink colour to the batter, whipped
up this awesome icing and topped the cakes with little flags I made using my washi
tape around toothpicks. In an instant I had adorable pink cupcakes, and nobody
was any the wiser that these weren’t made from ‘scratch’.
