omg omg omg I think I just found THE recipe to make frosting for cupcakes with!!!

''This is the best frosting. Tastes like marshmellows and is not greasy. 5 Large Egg whites. 1.5 cups granulated sugar. 1 cup light corn syrup (the clear colored one) (Karo). 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 tablespoons tap water. Disolve sugar, water, syrup and eggwhites in a low temperature double boiler, mixing continuously so the whites don't become scramble, until the sugar is completely disolved. It takes a few minutes and that will heat the eggwhites enough to be safe for consumption. Put the mixture in the mixing bowl and add cream of tartar and vainilla. Mix in medium speed (also works with a hand held mixer) until white and fluffy and hard peaks form about 10 minutes. It is delicious and you will want to eat it as is.''

what's a double boiler!? I probably have a recipe like this some where but oo well IT TASTES LIKE MARSHMALLOWS! and i can't eat those :D

A double boiler is what the Americans have instead of Ban Maries. (Sp?)

It's a pan inside another pan of boiling water, so you can make it by resting a bowl atop a pan of boiling water and doing it that way.

I thought so!!

I need to get me some measuring cups I wonder if pound shops sell them! lol

ikea do really cheap measuring cups. a ban marie, god havent heard that term in years!

Ikea is really far away! well by bus anyway I have no idea how to get to it by bus! might go on monday cuz I'll be seeing my dad but ikea on a bank holiday sounds iikky but I love Ikea, if I can't find any tomorrow I'll probably go to the range which is a really cheap shop and it has garden and kitchen and craft stuff in it :D

I can't live without mine now, it seems like every recipe I find is American! But that suits me now, as my weighing scales has broken :(

fish candy- whoopsies!

I FOUND SOME MEASURING CUPS! they double up as measuring spoonss because they are scoops, SCOONS! Can't complain for a quid!



T J Hughes! Bakers every where salute yooou!

wow They look handy, I have the two sets, one of cups one of spoons, yours look cooler :D

oo no I was rather disappointed that they weren't actually cups and not multicoloured! at least there is some colours. I kept finding microwaveable saucepans and getting very excited then read the labels :( and they have cookie cutters but they were expensive or crap! The good thing is that theres a little square clip thing with these that you press onto them so you don't loose them :D

I saw these, and always dreamed of baking them!

I made some bacon/chocolate cupcakes a few weeks back for a bacon party that I attended. They were surprisingly delicious...

I have to interject......

My bf found this ADORABLE photo from India, and as soon as I saw it, i shrieked, "AWWWWWW, SHE LOOKS LIKE A CUPCAKE!"

...and that made me think of this thread. Therefore, for your enjoyment, I present the "little girl-to-cupcake" photo:

Well I got a cupcake tattoo i got this with my bestfriend i design it

aaaaagh
i hate this! it makes me to hungry! i wanna be able to make those....teacupcakes....japanese cupcakes...pure cupcake love...
i made brownies with chocolate, coffee, and melted marshmellows in them. i love them. they have the most adorable pink frosting ever on them! and a chocolate/coffee/marshmellow brown goo heart drawn on the frosting. i made them with maaike s. she's on here too^^ and those panda cakes are so cute!

I would love to make these!Im not sure where I found them...

just drifted onto this thread...omgsh, they ARE total works of art, all of them...i couldn't bring myself to eat them...^_^
vi - i love the last photo, i could make them when my hubby and kids don't listen to me, maybe then they'd get the point...hahaha XD...only joking...

You know that for making candies, you have this food-things that you add to your candy for flavoring them? "Oils" or whatever its called?
Have anyone of you tried to add those flavorings to the icing? How did it work?

So many awesome cupcakes and cookies~!!! Now I really want one DDD:

My dad makes great cupcakes, as well as cakes.
He'd make them for me or my brother to take to school on holidays when we were little, as well as he sold some.

The Tardis Cake! You don't have to worry about how many people it feeds, as it's bigger on the inside :3
And obviously, kudos to the BBQ and cheeseburger cuppity-cakes, which I believe were both in the Most Popular Category for at least a week.
