Songs, skirts and scones

For the lunch with our friends I wanted to make something the girls choose. The last couple of weeks the girls are weirdly and unexplainable interested in the cupcake and cheesecake cookbook I bought a while back. The only cheesecake I made from it was nice, the first slice, but gosh, the rest was ate with some reluctance. Most recipes ask for 750 grams to 1 kilo (!!!!) of cream cheese, which gives me hardburn just reading it. Anyway, the girls had picked a ’sprickled cupcakes’ recipe (i.e. picture), and as I promised I would make whatever they picked, I followed the recipe to the letter.

Remember how I always complain about the consistency of the batter. This recipe gave the most gorgeous, velvety batter I have made so far!!! O, skip sip, hop hop, this is going to taste sooo good!!

Half an hour later I am chewing some stodgy cupcake that is perfectly cooked, but still tasted as if had just gone in the oven, yugh! The girls went on the decorate them with icing and sprinkles and thought that they were yummy…. Weird children!

I am sure I will now only use that cookbook for flavour inspiration and leave the recipes well unread.
