Late Night Cup Cakes


I haven't a cooking clue as to why I woke the day after Christmas aka Boxing Day with a huge migraine. Sadly, I'm a sufferer but over the years I have learnt how to control, manage and keep away from what triggers them. Mostly - it's heat and we are in the throws of a heatwave.  Being man down, I woke to the sounds of hubbys voice phoning around looking for an open chemist. Wasn't long before I was brought some pain killers and a glass of juice. I slept the day away. Missed out on precious time with my boys and man but they were well taken care of and had a fun-filled father/son day.

At around 8pm I decided baking was the way to go. Cupcakes were e cards, with a mix and pour, bake and cake - whalla. There you have it. 24 butter cream iced cupcakes made from a standard chocolate cupcake mix. The boys were not too impresses with the pink icing and edible glitter but the chocolate sponge seemed to console them.My piping bag packed up as I stared icing but not worries - nothing a sandwich bag couldn't fix. Presented on this Christmas tree platter - done.

Happy baking
