Winner Of The 2010 Yuppiechef Cupcake Baking Competition

I baked cupcakes for our engagement shoot in January. I actually kept a few cupcakes from several batches I’d baked through the week- so they weren’t all terribly fresh… I then iced all the extras I’d kept so they’d be pretty in the photographs.
I forgot to photograph them, so these are photographs by the always fantastic Jeanette Verster!!
This was a first for me! Someone who has already ordered cupcakes from me mentioned them to her SIL, who asked to buy a selection to taste. Now, a box of different cupcakes is tricky to do since I don’t mix batter for only one or two cupcakes… So, I decided that since I was baking chocolate cupcakes tonight already, I’d do a selection of different chocolate cupcakes for her.
This is what I came up with.
And here are details of the cupcakes inside the boxes!
chocolate cake in a gold cup with white butter icing and a choc-dipped strawberry - a decadent cupcake - R15
chocolate cake in a white cup with chocolate icing and chocolate vermicelli - a regular cupcake - R7,50
chocolate with baked-in cream-cheese topping - a regular cupcake - R7,50
chocolate cake in a white cup with two tone strawberry flavoured butter icing and fondant flowers - a luxury cupcake - R12
chocolate strawberry-stuffed cake in a red cup with chocolate icing and a fresh strawberry - a decadent cupcake - R15
AKA Upside Down Apple Tart!
These were ordered by Rozz for the Valentines weekend. They’re a vanilla base, with a little apple in it, topped with glazed apple (which is just so divine) and then drizzled with a home made caramel sauce!
They don’t look exactly like they do in the recipe book- they never do- but they are very yummy indeed.
These are creme-caramel secret-centre chocolate cupcakes, with chocolate fudge icing and confetti sprinkles!
By spoiling the one you love with some handmade sweetness!
Like a lot of people out there- I used to loathe Valentines Day. With a passion. I wouldn’t mention it to anyone and I dressed all in black to boycott the day… The only person who got any love was my son, with the cards and gifts he made for me at school.
Since I got completely swept off my feet by my darling fiancé however, I now celebrate Valentines Day in all its clichéd romance and glory!
Since my cupcakes have grown so much in popularity, this year I’m even offering something special for this international day of making money romanticness.
You can get 4 cupcakes, in a box, for R60!
I’ll even tie a ribbon around it!!
Two of them will be my favourite secret-centre strawberry stuffed chocolate cupcakes, iced with uber decadent chocolate fudge icing and decorated with heart-shaped “sprinkles”.
The other two are vanilla, secret-centre, strawberry cheesecake cupcakes- decorated with cream cheese icing and heart shaped “sprinkles”!
I can also do just chocolate and vanilla if you’re not into strawberries…
Sadly, although I wish I could, I can’t send them all over the country- but if you’re in Joburg or Pretoria you should be able to pamper yourself, or spoil a loved one with something mouth-wateringly indulgent!
Email angel41222 at gmail dot com by February 4th at the latest and I’ll reply with my banking details.
Payments must be made by February 7th and all paid orders can then be collected from me on Friday February 12th, or Saturday 13th.
Here is some feedback from someone who ate these: The Daily Turtle
