Winner Of The 2010 Yuppiechef Cupcake Baking Competition
Click here to see the winners announcement on Yuppiechef:
On Saturday night we went to a Christmas party and gift exchange with some friends, and as it was a bring-and-share I made cupcakes for dessert.
In fact, ALL the guests took dessert!
The chocolate cupcakes are stuffed with chocolate ganache and topped with white vanilla butter icing and a little glitter, and the red velvet cupcakes are topped with white vanilla butter icing. All the cupcakes were decorated with fresh cherries that I had dipped in melted chocolate!
All these recipes are from “Indulgence Cupcakes: a fine selection of sweet treats“.
This collection of recipes is slightly more gourmet than I usually try, so they’re a little pricier than usual at R90 for 12 cupcakes- still a huge bargain for this kind of recipe.
How the “beta testing” works is that I try something new, and you tell me what you think!
If you want to try one of these recipes, there’s a small price to cover the cost of the ingredients. Only one “batch” of 12 cupcakes is available for each recipe, so its first-come-first-served. I will then email you an invoice, my EFT details and my address and directions. Your order will have to be collected from me in Midrand. Biscuits can wait for collection, but cakes and cupcakes and such need to be collected the day they are baked, or a day later at most. Then after you’ve tried them, you email me, write a blog post, or leave a comment and tell me what you thought!
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me which one you would like to try, I will then email you further details.
So here’s the list of recipes I am going to be attempting.
This set of recipes is straight out of another one of my cupcake recipe books! “Crazy About Cupcakes” by Krystina Castella is an awesome book that has a collection of cupcake recipes, icing recipes, decorating tips and ideas, and then a whole set of recipes combining various recipes in interesting ways!

This set of beta test recipes are all inspired by pins I have on my Pinterest “I Love Baking” board! I love Pinterest, and there’s so much there that I want to try!

This luscious looking bit of pastry is a biscuity cake base covered with berries and baked slowly with a cheesecake-ish topping!
It took every ounce of self control not to cut into it myself before Tanya fetched it from me!
This was a beta test recipe from my Baking Bible.
