Vanilla Cupcakes

-
At Christmas time on Instagram, the @csrsugar had a wonderful twelve days of Christmas giveaway.  I was one of the lucky winners. I won the first three days of prizes.  It included some buttercream icing mixes, specialty sugars and a gorgeous 'In The Forest' mug from Mason Cash.

I have been wanting to try out the All Natural Buttercream Icing Mix and so I made these delicious vanilla cupcakes.  The CSR buttercream icing was super easy to make.  It produced a light and fluffy  buttercream perfect for frosting cupcakes.

These vanilla cupcakes are ideal as the base for adding your favourite frosting on top.  They are easy to make and light in texture.  I also added some fun to the cupcakes by using @droetkerbakingaunz Midnight Magic sprinkles which looked gorgeous on the cupcakes.

I would recommend that you try out the CSR buttercream icing mixes which are available at the @Woolworths and other supermarkets.  There are three different flavours available, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.  I can't wait to use the chocolate and strawberry icing soon.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 180°c. Line two trays with baking paper. 2. Disso

Viennese Biscuits

These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.
