Apple Crumble Cupcakes

Whenever I try a new cupcake recipe I always take them into work, so I should have been expecting my work friends to start demanding cupcakes for their birthday. So in honour of Pete - the kitchen manager's birthday, and to cheer people in work up in this terrible weather I decided to make Apple Crumble Cupcakes. This recipe is based on a recipe by the Hummingbird Bakery, but i used a different icing, instead of custard icing, I used cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I have decorated these cupcakes with little apples made from red and green fondant icing.

 

Sugarpaste Bow

Creating sugarpaste bows is a great skill to have and once mastered, you can make them large or small and introduce your own tweaks that make it unique. I used them to top my summer cupcakes and glazed them with orange and lemon juice.
