Last weekend, HLC’s creator and queen of cupcakes, Sarah Wilson-Gibbons made her way to Foodies Festival at Tatton Park, to teach crowds of hungry spectators how to create her signature chocolate cupcakes.
As the glorious sunshine beamed down over the sea of pop up restaurants and street food vendors, Sarah got to work tantalising the tastebuds of a tent full of budding bakers with her fun, informative demo in the Cake and Bake Theatre.
Sarah’s demo also featured the lovely Charlotte White from Restoration Cake!
So, just what went into Sarah’s signature chocolate cupcakes? Let’s take a closer look:
Chocolate cupcake sponge
6oz Lurpak unsalted butter
6oz caster sugar
6oz self raising flour
1 tbsp Food Thoughts Natural Cacao Powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 free range eggs
White chocolate frosting
Renshaw’s Simply Create Ready to Use Frosting collection is the perfect product for novice home bakers.
Decoration
No cupcake is complete without a splash of decoration and Sarah opted for Renshaw’s latest Ready to Roll Fondant Icing flavours.
The cupcakes went down a storm! You can keep up to date with Sarah’s cake adventures by following her on Instagram: @MissHLCupcake.
