Rose cupcakes

This time it's an edible rose post!

I love baking and one of the things I love to create are cupcakes because they can be made to look so pretty really easily.

Photos from the fruits (sweets?) of my labour: rose, chocolate orange and lime coconut cupcakes

The recipe I normally use is from the Cupcakes book by the Primrose Bakery so I probably shouldn't post it here (copyright restrictions and all...) but what I can say is that you can easily recreate it by adding a teaspoon or so of good quality rosewater (it depends on how strong the particular batch of rosewater is and also how strong or subtle you like the flavour to be) into a standard plain cupcake recipe. The icing is just as easy, add the rosewater and a little drop of food colouring to the usual butter and icing sugar mixture!

So I think that now completes the journey into rose scented and flavoured things in my life that I enjoy. I'm sure I'll come across new things in the future though! And if anyone ever has something to recommend, I'm all ears!
