Cupcake Baker

I was browsing in John Lewis the other day when I came across a gadget that I quite liked the look of for £14.99.  Yes I know I am supposed to be not spending at the moment but on further investigation this little machine would save me putting the cooker (which is gas)  which is a lot more expensive to fund.  Sometimes I just fancy a little bit of sweet something or the other and this would complete that objective.  So today I went up town to collect the said gadget and got another £5 off it.  It only cost me £10.  Its a Breville Cupcake Baker that cooks 8 cupcakes in 8 minutes.  The recipe for said cupcakes makes 24 cupcakes (24 cupcakes with 24 minutes cooking time) so this could be quite economical - especially if you have kiddies at home and after all wherever we save the pennies with getting more for our money the more money we have to put towards some treats.

So I am going to have a little play and will let you know how I get on.  £10.00 - bargain.  I am looking to have a good serious play. My Mum always used to make cup cakes when I was at home; its a family tradition that she still makes for us cupcakes as a treat every now and then especially for  my nephews.

(I didn't make the above they are frpm photobucket) but just some ideas for decorating purposes)  I used to get the job when I was at home of doing the decorating.
