B had ordered a Red Velvet birthday cake for his lady-love P and she now wanted to return the favour, as it was his birthday. We discussed various options, and my capabilities, and settled upon a dozen mixed cupcakes in banoffee and choc raspberry.
I was really excited about baking these, because they were a variation on some I had baked previously, and because the toffee sauce is amazingly good, and I was hoping there may be a little leftover for 'taste-testing' afterwards.
As with her cake, she wanted them simply to say 'Happy Birthday B' and '43 today'. Your cake wish is our command, P - hope he loves them...
These are the banoffee ones (see that icing? all the colour comes from the toffee sauce, and there was a little leftover after all, yummy)
These are the raspberry chocolate ones...
And here they all are, snuggled together in their box ready for collection and delivery to the birthday boy.
(These few were leftover, so I added a different type of buttercream swirl and popped a raspberry on top, to add to the one underneath)
ok, so NOW I know what banoffee is :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, perhaps it's a British thing then? It's banana and toffee mixed. These cupcakes are spiced banana and I had made a toffee icing for them.
