Happy St. Davids Day
I have made some lemon cupcakes with lemon icing and sugar daffodils to mark St Davids Day, a day to celebrate the patron saint of Wales.
I used one of my new favourite things, Squires real fruit fondant mix. It comes in 5 flavours~ blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, orange and lemon. I have tried them all, they are great used, as in the picture, over fondant fancies, but you can also mix them with water to make icing for cupcakes and mixed to make fruit flavoured buttercream or frosting. I like the orange one made into frosting for carrot cake, the raspberry one as a topping for vanilla cupcakes, but my favourite is the lemon one, which I have used quite often. Note, I coloured the icing for my cupcakes today because I wanted a stronger background for my daffodils.
Speak to you tomorrow,
