Hiya,these sound so delicious I can't wait to try them! I just wondered if you would be able to use the same recipe but rather than making cupcakes could you bake it in a cake tin to make a cake? I'm making them as cupcakes for a christmas present but would love to have a big cake of it in the middle too :)
Maybe you should try with 50ml Rum! I am going to give it a go again and will let you know how they turn out (my spiced apple cupcakes were awful so need to perfect them before I share!)
These sound good Carol. What an inventive idea for Christmas. I must say that when I first read the ingredients list and saw 100ml rum I thought it sounded like quite a lot, so it made me laugh when I saw you started off with even more! No wonder it made you giggly!
thanks and to you too - we have made some upgrades for super users (like you and I would love you to be one of the first to see and try out what we have done and tell us what you think - I will email you directly when it is ready to look at xx
No such thing as too much rum, CarolMerry Christmas to you and your team
Dont lick too much of the bowl - it is very potent and made me very giggly!
