Cupcake Recipes - From Baking to Frosting is from other source and this blog just to republish with same information about Cupcake Recipes - From Baking to Frosting , if you are the owner from this article feel free to cantact me

Any cake recipe can be converted to a cupcake one. Consider cupcakes as mini cakes of whatever type of cake you are found of and using that cake’s recipes, create delicious mini cakes. With a box of cake mix, the whole process is made a lot easier. One box will make between 24 and 30 cupcakes baked in a regular size cupcake pan. But mixing the ingredients is where the real fun of making cakes is, so let’s equip you with what you will need.

The Basics
21/4 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
11/3 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup shortening
Floor coloring

Depending on the recipe you are using, there will be additions to these ingredients. For instance, you can have ¼ cup cocoa for chocolate flavored cupcakes. Other flavorings you can add to your cake mixture include nutmegs, ground ginger, lime, shredded coconut, mashed bananas, cinnamon, raisins and almonds among others.

There is no limit to what you can use in your cupcake mixture, just as long as the flavors blend into each other well. Simply adapt the different cake recipes you like and turn them into cupcake recipes.

You will also need a cupcake pan, cupcake pan liners, mixer, large bowl and an oven.

Begin by preheating the oven. Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, milk, vanilla and shortening into the large bowl and beat for a minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix thoroughly for around 3 minutes or until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Line the pan with the cupcake liners then fill 2/3 of them with the mixture. An ice-cream scoop will help you get precise amounts of mixture in the pan. For regular-size pans, use a scoop that measures 1/3 so you only put two.

As they rise, they will occupy the remaining space to form a mound. Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for around 23 minutes. If you need to make more but do not have another cupcake pan, store the mixture in the refrigerator as the first batch of cupcakes cooks. When ready, remove, cool the pan for about 15 minutes then add the remaining mixture. On average, a pan makes 12 cupcakes at a time.

Allow the cupcakes time to cool completely before you can frost them. In the meantime, work on the cupcake frosting recipes you are going to use. There are four basic types of frosting: butter cream, chocolate butter cream, dark chocolate ganache and lemon cream cheese frosting. For butter cream frosting, you will need to mix150g soft butter and 12g confectioner’s sugar. Add 1 tsp vanilla and 2 tsp hot water or milk to make a creamy mix. To make chocolate butter frosting, substitute the vanilla with 2 tsp cocoa.

To make chocolate ganache, you need 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, ½ cup heavy cream, 3 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp brandy (optional). Melt the first 3 ingredients and mix them all together. Pour in the brandy if using. Allow mixture to cool before spreading generously over your cupcakes. Lemon cheese frosting will give a distinct taste to your cupcakes. For this, sift 30g softened butter, 80g softened cream cheese, 1½ cup confectioner’s sugar and 1 tsp grated lemon rind. Mix the ingredients and beat them till they are creamy, then spread them on the cupcakes. Use either a frosting/pastry spatula or pastry bag to evenly spread either type of frosting over the cupcakes.

How to Make CupCake Bath Bombs is from other source and this blog just to republish with same information about How to Make CupCake Bath Bombs , if you are the owner from this article feel free to cantact me

Step into the world of bath bombs.  The sweet smelling aromas as they fill your bathroom, easing away those stresses and strains of the day.  You feel the fizz as they swirl around you releasing their gentle fragrances. Your new cupcake bath bomb is filled with soft moisturisers leaving your skin soft and subtle ready to take on a new day.

Making your own bath bombs is simple and fun to do. Like in cooking you will know exactly what has gone into making them. So if you need that special oil due to a sensitive skin or you like a particular fragrance then is the way to do it. Pamper yourself and drop a fun, fizzy bomb into warm running water and enjoy.

Below I have given a basic bath bomb recipe and frosting.  All ingredients can be found at either your local supermarket or chemist.


Bath bomb

1 ½ cups baking soda
½ cup citric acid
Sweet almond oil or any other light oil such as grape seed
Water/with hazel

Frosting

2 ½ tablespoons meringue powder
4 tablespoons warm water
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 ½ cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
1 tablespoon Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) to act as a foaming agent but can be omitted
4-6 drops of fragrance
Colorant
Piping bag and nozzles

BATH BOMB METHOD

First line a cupcake tin with paper cake cases.

Silicone cake moulds are probably the best but a metal one would work too.

Mix together first your dry ingredients then slowly add your oil and fragrance, just enough for your desired aroma.

Once this is thoroughly mixed, using a spray bottle, add your water or witch hazel or a mix of the two. Be careful not to add too much as your mix will start to fizz prematurely. Your mix should now be the consistency of wet sand, still crumbly but will hold together once compacted into your mould.

Pack the mix tightly into your cupcake moulds, slightly rounded on top to hold the frosting. Now put to one side.

FROSTING METHOD

To make the frosting an electric whisk would be good as it takes some of the work out it, but you can use a hand whisk.

Mix slowly your meringue powder and water. Be gentle as your powder will blow everywhere if you go too quickly.

SLS powder can be a bit uncomfortable if breathed in so wearing a mask at this point may be advisable.  It’s at this point where you mix in the SLS and cream of tartar. Once they are in mix in slowly add the powdered sugar.

Mix well now for at least 7 minutes until your mix forms stiff peaks. If it is too wet add a little more sugar and if too dry add a little water. Now add your colorant and fragrance oil. Be careful how much colour you add as it does go darker once dried. It should leave behind a sticky residue now when you touch it with your fingers.

At this point you will need to work fast before it starts to set. Using your piping bag and various nozzles pipe away your frosting on top of your bath bomb.

If you want to add different decorations, jojoba beads and glitter, for example but do so before your frosting sets.
They will need to be left now for 2-3 days to set. Your fancy cupcake bath bombs can now be packaged.

Enjoy!

Shopping For Cupcake and Wedding Cake Boxes is from other source and this blog just to republish with same information about Shopping For Cupcake and Wedding Cake Boxes , if you are the owner from this article feel free to cantact me

Wedding cake boxes and cupcake boxes are probably the most specialized bakery boxes on the market today. Wedding cakes come in many shapes and sizes. Finding or designing a fabulous wedding cake is hard enough but having to decide which cake box best fits your design is an entirely different problem. Modern brides combine tradition with a little bit of their own personal taste to create an intimate and memorable day for all present. Cupcake wedding cakes are an example of a traditional element that has been combined with modern design. Unfortunately wedding cupcake boxes are not as easy to find as regular wedding cake boxes.

Most bakery boxes are made of some type of cardboard or plastic. Cardboard boxes come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Matching your wedding cake boxes to other accent colors in your wedding decor is probably a good idea but when that becomes too expensive or impossible you may need to comprise.

A good compromise would be to purchase a white or solid colored box. Use ribbons or other colorful adornments to find a match that works better. Cardboard cupcake boxes are not usually intended for wedding cupcakes so you will definitely have to find some other kind of compromise in the case of cupcake wedding cakes.

When shopping for any type of wedding cake box keep in mind that you don't have to necessarily worry too much about the look of the box. The main purpose of each box is to transport a piece of your wedding cake to the hands and homes of your guests. Most people will throw the box away anyway so it's kind of silly to spend too much money on getting fancy boxes or fancy ribbons just so they eventually end up in trash can somewhere.

You can find and purchase all kinds of bakery boxes online. Some are sold in bulk to save you even more money. If you know the style and amount you want, finding a solution that can work for both your design and budget should not be too difficult.
