Very easy to prepare. You can also substitute the sultanas with grated orange rind to give an orange flavour

Ummm, though they dont have a serving suggestion im guessing based on the fact that it says spread out 16 paper cases that you would know it made 16.

Serving suggestion?!? Howsabout serve with a nice cup of tea. They're an old fashioned cup cake, asking for a serving suggestion is like asking for a serving suggestion for a digestive biscuit.

Serving Suggestion

This is one that my mum did for us.
Cut the top off the cup cake and create a little hollow in the middle. Put some rasperry jam in the hollow with fresh thick cream on top.
Cut the top in half to make two wing shapes.
Place the wings vertically on top the cream should hold them in place.
Then serve with some nice Barry's tea

Thanks

These were so simple even I could bake them... they tasted fab, I just took out a little circle hollow in middle, added jam and cream and put the top back on... my children now think I am a master chef ;~)

Cooking these for my contribution to our jamboree, so easy and so nice to eat as most baking today is very sweet and stickyPat Suffolk

Help please

posted by olga @ 04:12AM, 10/09/12

These were lovely, but people in my house don't like sweet things. Is there a way i can produce the same great results but with a lot less sugar (like for old people)
