Today's pin is 1 I have done before and that is make swirl cakes. They are very easy to do, using normal cake mix (home made or shop bought) add nothing but what you need for the mix so it is still the creamy/white/lemon colour. Then add the mixture to cupcake cases as you would normally but before you put them in the oven add a couple of drops of food colouring to ech cake and using a cocktail stick swirl the food colouring into the mixture so you get a pattern. Then bake as normal. Once they are cooked you may not see the swirls on the top of the cakes but you will when you bite into them. I added a couple of drops of the same colours into the icing and added that to the cakes so the red ahve red swirl icing and the blue has blue. (see pics).
There is a reason for my baking and its not a birthday or party (well it is my friends 18th today but thats not the reason.) Tomorrow we are going for dinner with our neighbours at their house, they are cooking pheasant (which none of us has tried) and a chicken encase we don't like the pheasant. I was always told you never turn up to a dinner or party empty handed and as I know they are on medication I decided not to go for a bottle of wine but some cakes. I will take 1 each round there for after dinner.
Heres my pics:
