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

There’s a world of occasions that call for a good cupcake. Afternoon teas, weddings, birthdays, a treat for your workmates - at times, even breakfast. Or is that just us? 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 I was wanting to buy this for my other half, but would like to buy all the required ingredients to go with it. Could you give me a list of ingredients to buy? Would be much appreciated.
Mark, United Kingdom - 7th November 2011
Firebox says: It depends which recipe you're using Mark. The kit itself comes with a book that includes 14 d different recipe's. For the basics you will need ehhs, self raising flour, butter or margarine and caster sugar. Hope this helps and happy baking!
visitor avatar Are the recipes American?
Jade, Cyprus - 10th March 2011
Firebox says: Yes they are - but don't let that put you off. They are very easy to follow and you might find the tips from Jen in London useful.
visitor avatar Brilliant kit! looks so lovely that am having problems wrapping it up for crimbo! had a lovely surpise in the packet for me too! thanks for the sweets!
Patricia, Ossett - 21st October 2010
visitor avatar Bought this for a friends birthday pressie and they loved it! Big bake off this Saturday, a gift that gives back! brilliant and so cute!
Louise, Morden - 22nd September 2010
visitor avatar Can't wait to get my cupcake kit going to use it for making my wedding favours.
Jane, Scotland - 15th April 2010
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!
Jen, London - 11th January 2010
Firebox says: Thanks Jen!
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!
Janine, Maastricht, The Netherlands - 12th November 2009
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!
Paul, Middlesbrough - 4th November 2009
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 - 30th October 2009
Firebox says: Fantastic idea, and there are 14 recipes to try - Don't see why not!
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.
