The cupcakes |
Only problems I encountered were: the cakes were underdone in the center--both of them. And I forgot to spread on the lemon syrup I had so painstakingly made. Sigh. Wonder if I can drizzle it on the slices of cake after I cut them?
I had doubled the cake recipe, but only made the frosting as called for, and I still had frosting left over to store in the freezer. And when handed cakes with an underdone center, you cut it out and create mini-bundt cakes. :-)
As you can see from the book photos, these cakes are filled with lemon curd between the layers, along with the frosting--yum. Then I simply piped on some tiny flowers, sprinkled with sparkling sugar, and I consider myself done.
Now, off to make paella for dinner tonight. Talk about throwing everything into a pan! My recipe calls for chicken, clams, lobster, sausage, and saffon--and I had no luck finding saffron at the grocery yesterday. Guess we'll have to do without. :-)
This cake is only missing the center on the bottom layer. (See why I don't do this professionally?) |
Ta da! Mini-bundt cake. :-) |
