Rich Vanilla Cup Cakes

Something quite easy this week - cup cakes.  Years ago, we used to call these fairy cakes albeit they were smaller; cup cakes were similar but icing was poured over them very generously so you couldn't see any of the cake.  The Bake-Off book refers to them as "the glamorous big sisters of fairy cakes".

Rich Vanilla Cup Cakes with Easy Vanilla Frosting

I topped them with Easy Vanilla Frosting and they turned out really well - very heavy on the butter though!  It's fun to use all the different pretty cake cases, colourings and decorations so I'm looking forward to making the next batch.
