Cupcakes

[DaisyNonna]

What is the attraction?

[boxtops]

size, shape, variety?

[jamesnan]

No idea, they are a bit sickly and very expensive

[DaisyNonna]

Sponge and sugar?

[phleb]

Tasty...wish someone would send some to me

[sherrardk]

Mine love fairy cakes but they are a bit of a fuss to do (mainly because I have to make so many).

I must admit I prefer a muffin :-)

[ferlew]

We Brits have so many fabulous tasty recipes for cakes, I can't see why this cupcake thing has caught on here.

[marval]

I prefer muffins too.

or crumpet boxy, but moving swiftly on did I just read knitted cupcakes?

[DaisyNonna]

Shoota, the sponge. Happy with the strawberry and cream.

[Prudie]

Well they've certainly changed. When I was a kid McVitie's chocolate cup cakes were in a silver case and dead flat with chocolate icing on the top, delicious.

My Mother often made butterfly cakes. Would they be classed as cup cakes?

[boxtops]

That's right, prudie - the Baker Boys still do them like that, that's what I prefer.

[DaisyNonna]

Come to think of it, don't like muffins either.

[ferlew]

WHY????
Why does anyone knit anything as useless as food, come on, so many folks/kids needing warming.

[Mamyalynne]

You knit food for hungry Teddy Bears, surely you knew that.
