Hen's night cupcakes
Cupcakes for a hen's night. They were a hit.
Cappuccino cupcake recipe:
In a saucepan heat 250g of butter, 1 tbsp of instant coffee and 1 1/2c of milk gently until the butter is melted.
Allow to cool.
In a large bowl whisk 6 eggs until thick and creamy. Add 2c of sugar gradually and then stir in half the butter mixture and 3c of self-raising flour until smooth.
Pour into cupcake pattys and bake until firm to the touch.
I topped them with butter cream icing (just mix up icing sugar and butter) then sprinkled on chocolate hail. The white chocolate penises were also made by me, just using white chocolate melts, poured into penis shaped ice cube trays and then cooled.
Naughty but nice!
Hen [7/52]
My uncle, who lives in the house above mine, has always owned hens. Since I was a little kid, I used to love them. They give us eggs, at Christmas the oldest is killed and cooked (poor thing!), but they also eat almost all of our organic waste. They're also funny, especially when the cock (at the moment we don't have one, by the way) sings in the middle of the night when is summer and you have all your windows open because it's too hot, really funny!
I know it isn't really in my home, but I hadn't any idea (and no time to think about it!)
