Winner Of The 2010 Yuppiechef Cupcake Baking Competition
Click here to see the winners announcement on Yuppiechef:
These blueberry cheesecake cupcakes are another beta test!
They have a scone-like base with a fresh blueberry cheesecake on top and they are served with a sprinkle of icing sugar and a fresh blueberry sauce!
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.
On Sunday, I had some leftover chocolate and vanilla cupcake batter, and I thought I’d attempt something I had seen in the internet a while ago.
The result was chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, sliced open and alternately stuffed with cream cheese icing and vanilla butter icing, with fresh raspberries and blueberries added before the top of the cupcake was replaced.
They are very yummy, but I will make some changes when I do them again. For one thing, I will not baked them in paper cups, they’ll be a little bigger so that they’re a little more stable, and I think I will put something on top to finish them off a little prettier too.
You can see some more pictures of these cupcakes on Jeanette Verster’s website and her FB page where they were used as a small part of the Sass Designs fashion shoot before they were enjoyed by the models!
Vanilla cupcakes with my trademark Soft-Serve butter icing and flakes. Chocolate cupcakes with caramel secret centres, chocolate butter icing and glace cherries. Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing topped with a fondant “40″. Blueberry cupcakes with purple butter icing topped with a fresh blueberry.
This week, The Cupcake Club ordered blueberry cupcakes with purple blueberry icing, lemon and cream cheese cupcakes with lemon butter icing and chocolate cupcakes with malted honeycomb ball secret centres and chocolate butter icing!
