Cuspcake rating: 3
Probably unfair to rate these, as I needed 22 and only had 22 38mm cups, so am not getting to taste the actual product. Moreover, the real success of these depends only on how much my almost-five-year-old patron and her friends like these.
Baked the leftover batter in larger cups (44mm, I got another 9) and left them in the oven too long so they went crispy on top. They're very tasty, and I'm a weird one who likes my cakes crispy and golden so, again, probably not entirely fair to rate these (they tasted like big, less-sweet kueh baulus – one of my favourite snacks). The buttercream was pretty, light and easy to spread, but waaay too sweet for my grownup tastebuds, hopefully the kids will feel otherwise.
From the Primrose Bakery book – have to say I am pleased with the recipes I've tried so far, it's turning out to have been a great budget birthday gift to myself, at least, I certainly can't think of anything else that could have given me as much entertainment and pleasure for $15.
Update: These were a hit, I'm pleased to report. The kids asked for more cupcakes, and even the boys thought they were pretty. :)
