Our friends at Baking Mad got in touch recently to invite us
to join them in their latest campaign - celebrating the impending arrival of the Royal baby! We were asked to place a guess as to whether we thought
our Duke and Duchess would be having a little prince or a little princess –
Cake’n’Bake Club style!
Now, being a Royal celebration, we could have gone for a
number of recipes from www.bakingmad.com.
They have some great recipes for scones,
or a Traditional Victoria sponge,
but we went for cupcakes.
(I especially like their chocolate cupcake recipe!)
After whipping up a batch of yummy cupcakes, I headed to the
club meeting armed with two piping bags of butter cream – one pink and one blue!
At our meeting, members were asked to “vote” by decorating their cupcake either
pink for a princess or blue for a prince:
Once all of the votes had been cast (and the spare cupcakes
consumed!!) two of our more mathematical members set about displaying them in
graph form to indicate our results:
We think pink! The royal baby is due in just a few weeks
now, so it won’t be long to wait to find out if we’re right. In the meantime though,
if you wanted to play along and make your own cakey poll, Baking Mad have a
great video tutorial on how to make cupcakes :-)
Happy baking!
Happy baking!
