Forty for Forty

well… 42 if you’re actually counting

My sister in law is 40 this week, and my husband asked me to make 40 cupcakes for her. I bake in multiples of 6 and only had boxes that hold 6 or 12, so she’s getting 42 instead. It is the answer to life, the universe and everything, so I’m sure that the 42 is OK.

Anyway… The cakes

Mint chocolate:

Chocolate cake with a peppermint fondant filling. Topped with chocolate and mint swirled buttercream and a piece of mint chocolate bar.

Vanilla:

Vanilla sponge topped with vanilla buttercream and sprinkles. A classic.

Mega chocolate:

Chocolate cake, topped with chocolate buttercream (made with additional melted dark chocolate mixed in). Finished with Oreo Crumbles and a Cadbury Twirl mini.

Lemon:

Another simple, yet effective flavour. Lemon sponge, topped with lemon buttercream and sprinkles.

Chocolate Orange:

Chocolate sponge that was flavoured with Orange essence. Topped with orance chocolate buttercream, and a Terry’s Chocolate Orange segment.

White Chocolate Cherry:

Sponge cake flavoured with cherry essence and white chocolate chips baked in. Topped with cherry buttercream and a white chocolate chunk.

Salted Caramel:

Salted caramel flavoured sponge topped with salted caramel buttercream and a sprinkle of sea-salt. Fainal touch are Cadbury caramel chocolates / Quality Street caramel barrel.

I did add toppers to each cake to finish them too
