How Much for Cupcakes?

I have been bitten by the Cupcake Bug, I have seen some of the scrummiest creations ever online, so I thought "I gotta make me some of them!"

Small problem is that my baking sucks! No matter, I have searched the internet for recipes and ideas and I finally made some tonight, and they were nice, I mean they are actually edible and taste good. I cannot embark on a new "project" without having the correct equipment so today I went out and bought......

New scales for weighing baking ingredients £16
Electric Whisk £17
Piping Bag and nozzles £6.50

Plus a dozen eggs, 2 blocks of lurpak, 2 packs of Stork, food colouring, and various decorations for the top

My kitchen was covered in icing sugar too.

I could have had 2 dozen designer cupcakes sent up from London for the money I spent today, I made 24, cost per cupcake so far about £1.85!!!!

Hey, fellow bugger!!!

I've got the cupcake bug too, every night for the last week and a half... might as well just smear the butter on myself!! lol

Take a look on my blog, there are some of my attempts on there. I've found a couple of really fab cupcake recipes that are awesome (for just the cake I mean)
