Decoration
Well now…I cheated because of time constraints for the photo shoot and I bought packet icing and rolled it out and cut out little hearts etc… however it would be very nice to pipe them with butter cream and glitz them up with edible glitter or actual flowers/ or Turkish delight/ dark cherry chocolate…endless options! And in view of that here is my buttercream recipe for these:
- 125g butter, softened on the back of the aga…but not melted entirely so don’t walk off and fold the ironing in another room or walk the dogs!
- 200g sifted icing sugar
- 1 tsp rose water
- 2 tbsp milk
Decorate to your own taste – lovely little cup cakes for romantic trysts
