Last week I had the pleasure of baking chocolate sponge cupcakes topped with a vanilla and peppermint butter cream.

My first solo attempt at making cupcakes. I got inspiration after attending a cupcake course at 3D Cakes in Roseburn, Edinburgh.

I made these especially for my colleague Zak who is heading back to the states after a successful 6 month placement in my office – they are a good luck gesture towards his future endeavors (hence the four leaf clover theme).

Simple yet effective treat – chocolate orange Cornflake crispies!
