Baking is not my forté, although I managed to conjure up some acceptable profiteroles circa 1997. So who better to learn the art of cupcake making from, than the lovely Natalie Seldon.
These delectable little “estellas” aren’t just pretty, they’re made with organic and Fairtrade ingredients. They come in mini-concotions of cinnamon cream, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry swirls or lemon. In fact, watching The Great British Bake off last night, it reminded me of all the things that can go wrong – they don’t rise, they’re too dry, they’re too full and overflow creating that “mushroom head” look. Not nice.
You can order Estella Cupcakes from Natalie’s website and they’d be wonderful for a wedding. Or, better still, why not book a cupcake class with Natalie and learn how to make these delectable temptations yourself?
