Patty cake, patty cake, I’m the baker’s man
\nI bake them cakes as fast as I can<\/em>

What’s a patty cake? It’s just a more old-fashioned name for a cupcake! <\/p>\n

I came across a patty cake recipe in Women’s Weekly’s Baking Favourites and thought it’s worth a try. The batter looks slightly thicker than I remembered from my other experiences with cupcakes, which explains why I was a little worried when I sent them into the oven. I absolutely didn’t want another batch of cupcakes with cracked and unbaked tops (like my Daiso recipe). But no, they turned out way better than expected actually. <\/p>\n

Each cupcake was a bright yellow colour and had a lovely dome. Pipe them with a little buttercream frosting and they look perfect, don’t they? Or you can eat them naked, just the way they are. Either way, you absolutely won’t go wrong!<\/p>\n

For me, I wanted to perfect my buttercream technique so I made a batch of chocolate buttercream to go along with it. Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream, it’s a classic combination of flavours. <\/p>\n
