A second round of cloud cake making for our dear flatmate Rebecca Felgate's 22nd birthday. Being a beautiful girly girl, we wanted to make the centres extra jammy and the frosting extra sweet with different pastel colours. Here's what we learnt..
The original recipe suggests a teaspoon of jam stirred into each case of cupcake mixture. Although this adds a little bit of something special to each cake, its often not enough. We suggest placing a further teaspoon of jam on top of the mixture just before baking.
After being so successful with the fluffy frosting last time, we decided to make cupcakes with coloured frosting. However we learnt the hard way that this type of frosting doesn't work with regular food colouring. Once added the mixture becomes too runny and is unable to make peaks. Such a shame because of the beautiful colours!
We suggest instead to create several different batches of coloured sugar for on top of the white fluffy icing.
