Piping the cupcake

Nigella who?

Good looking, sweet and wholesome. We all love Nigella Lawson. And we also love one of the delicious treats that she’s always on about: the mighty cupcake. No longer is the cupcake the dry and dusty long-life confection of old: it’s been reborn into an iced wonder-sponge with a world of flavoursome possibilities. Now you can tap into the trend that’s as easy on the tum as it is the eye, with a brilliant new kit that gets your baking your own fancy treats in a trice.

Cupcake liners

We even suspect that international political summits would benefit from the provision of a good cupcake too. But how do you master this alchemical art? How do make cake as good as grandma, without having to grow a light beard and wear lavender oil?

visitor avatar A great little kit that I bought as a present for my other half. What really made it for me was the fact that I ordered it on the afternoon and it arrived the very next morning. Plus the box it was delivered in contained a dvd, sweets, catalogue and a discount code. Firebox really do look out for their customers!

Firebox says: Glad to help, it's the always the little things that make the biggest difference!

visitor avatar Could you double/triple this recipe and use it for the giant cupcake tin?
Molly, Linton - Oct '09
Firebox says: Fantastic idea, and there are 14 recipes to try - Don't see why not!

visitor avatar I already have way too much baking equipment to justify buying this, but if anyone is struggling with the american recipes, there are some very easy fixes. Cake flour is just plain flour with cornflour added (try google for exact amounts), US-style measuring cups are available from lots of places (Robert Dyas and Tesco to name a couple) and Waitrose certainly stock Cream of Tartar (any large supermarket should do), and buttermilk (Sainsburys certainly do). Otherwise you can create your own buttermilk by adding lemon juice to regular milk... There are hundreds of cooking websites that tell you how to do these, just google!

visitor avatar Wow! My package arrived within 3 days, with standard shipping! That's really good! The cupcake set looks great, super cute and professional at the same time! It's a gift, but I think I might buy one for myself now! Thanks!

visitor avatar A beautiful looking kit, which I treated myself to as I want to have a go at making cupcakes for my wedding but am a baking novice. As mentioned by the previous reviewer the recipe book is very American in style, and some of the ingredients are a little confusing. I went out to get them in Tescos yesterday and could not find cream of tartar or cake flour so was a bit disappointed that I can't get started. However, it's still a great item and is worth it for the paper cases alone.
Faith Callister, Kent - Oct '09
visitor avatar Well, first things first - made these about 30 mins ago and yumyum. But, it must be clear that this is American - things like buttermilk and cup measurements. Lovely ideas which I stole and changed a bit. I just made chocolate cupcakes with blue icing but orange flavouring. Very nice indeed! The cup liners are so sweet! Will definitely be buying this again. Also, piping bag 10/10, they look so professional!

visitor avatar This is a great little product. It is fairly hard to get the mini cases in ireland and this kit has loads of them. The recipes arent too bad but it is never hard to find cupcake recipes if they dont suit.
Niamh, Ireland - Jun '09
visitor avatar Looks really good. Just wondering though, what's the piping bag made of?
