Oh yes, so after the chocolates and the cougettes. Blueberry, healthy, antioxidant blueberry - of course all the vitamins and stuff survive baking. I made these ones in two sizes. Mini cupcake and muffin! (Tins courtesy of mother)
Wagman says that these cupcakes should be a vibrant blue colour. I found if you use nice fresh Co-op blueberries they don't. In fact no colour is imparted and they stay cupcake coloured. But it is nice to find a whole blueberry in a cake. One of the 5 a day. Definitely.
The frosting was a change - a cream based one with sugar and blueberries. Nice. However I tried to make it fancy by using an icing bag to put it on - looked the same as if I had used a spoon. Disappointing. That is clearly a skill to improve.
I also invented the evening cake (see left) - yes an elegant blueberry cake for the evening time, in special elegant papers and with silver balls on the top. They were great. I took them to an adult dinner party thing.
Natalie said they were almost as good as the courgette, Liz liked them.
The Daisy-o-meter has officially swung in favour of the Blueberry "they make me wet", rather then the courgette.
