Cupcake anyone?

I created this cupcake last night. I was inspired by my great friend Lucy, who loves baking and her mum, who makes aprons.

I was thinking how great it'd be to have aprons hanging on a wall, for when people want to come over and create something but don't want splashes on their clothes...then it went to the baking side of aprons and this was the end product.

I created my own paper! Wow, God is expanding my creativity. I then went on to design a ballet/dance paper but you'll have to wait for that one.

Basic Cupcake Recipe

200g unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup caster sugar

3 eggs

2 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted

1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced oven. Line muffin or mini-muffin pans with paper cases.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter, vanilla and sugar in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition (mixture will separate at this stage). Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in half the flour. Stir in half the milk. Repeat with remaining flour and milk until combined.

For 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pans use 2 level tablespoons of mixture. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Alternatively, for 1 tablespoon-capacity mini muffin pans use 1 tablespoon mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Stand cakes in pans for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
