One of my very dear friends gave me a cupcake book about 10 years ago, and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t made anything from it.
I’ve read it a lot and the pictures are beautiful, but I’ve never given anything a go. It’s an overlooked book in my collection.
Of course this needs to be put right so I picked the prettiest cakes and made them. They are pear butterfly cakes.
