Cupcakes are becoming very popular. They are no longer just made out for a child’s birthday. You can buy them at most coffee shops; there also are a lot of stores that sell nothing but cupcakes.

Cupcakes are really just small cakes, so you can use any cake recipe to make them. The fact that they are small makes cupcakes interesting and fun. For instance, you can bake a batch of cupcakes using your favorite cake recipe, and freeze some for another day. Cupcakes can be made from readymade cake mix as well (one box of cake mix is enough for about 24 to 30 cupcakes, depending on the size of the cupcake cavities in the pan).

It is well accepted now that the two men responsible for the amazing creation of what we know as banoffee pie were Ian Dowding and Nigel Mackenzie. Back in the early 70′s Dowding arrived back from America and had seen a new dessert, which they tweaked with different fruit toppings before deciding on bananas. They called their recipe banoffee pie and it was an instant triumph with customers at one point only booking a table if the pie was on the menu. Since then it’s spread throughout the world and is a favourite for many.
