Raspberry Cupcakes with Orange Drizzle!

Baking overdose this week!

The Office was supporting the Macmillan Cancer Charity Coffee Morning on Friday September 24. How it works: The Social Committee asks for volunteers to bring in some home baking on the day and the office will be able to 'buy' some baking during the day with all procceeds going to the Charity. Known as the frequent baker in the office, I was happy to help. My original baking were raspberry cupcakes with orange drizzle (as above!) and the blueberry lemon cake with coconut crumble topping ( in a previous entry). However, after checking the list, nobody were baking cookies so I also decided to bake the choc-cherry cookies (the choc-cherry lollipops without the lolly sticks!).

Despite baking the blueberry lemon cake on Wed night, it still took me a good few hours on Thursday night to finish the raspberry cupcakes and the choc-cherry cookies.

On the day itself, it was a tremendous spread as lots of people have brought in stuff ranging from lovely pink iced cupcakes, chocolate fridge cake, rock buns, empire biscuits and more. Out of my baking, the blueberry lemon cake was the first to go, followed by the choc-cherry cookies and sadly, the raspberry cupcakes were the last. The Husband believed that I should have drizzled some chocolate over the raspberry cupcakes to make them look more exciting as they did look rather plain despite being quite tasty!

It was a good day as the Office raised GBP367.00 that was matched by the Company and also our team's charity. Hooray!
