Charity Jubilee Tea Party

For the Diamond Jubilee I organised an charity tea party for work. For this my friend Ellie and I baked:

Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

Ganache is useful as a filling, a frosting, or a glaze. once refrigerated its the consistency of peanut butter, it can be whipped also. it should be noted that adjusting the amount of chocolate to cream will produce a firmer, or softer ganache. This is a simple recipe for chocolate orange cupcakes that goes with great with a chocolate orange ganache. If you think all cupcakes should come with buttercream then I have also included a recipe for a white chocolate and orange buttercream.

White Chocolate, Raspberry & Cream Cupcake

I have always had a love of baking but amongst university work and my job, baking has fallen through the cracks. So with university done and work mainly in the evenings, I've decided to dust of the cake tin and get back to baking.


So here is a simple recipe for white chocolate cupcakes, with a cream filling and raspberry icing... Tried, tested and approved by my work colleagues.
