This week’s Through the Lens Thursday was ‘Four’, so I planned to snap four cupcakes, but we ate one….
We made butter yesterday which was true science in the kitchen and we got buttermilk too, both of which we used in the red velvet cupcakes in the photo.
To make the butter I followed the instructions from She Who Rambles and the cupcakes are from the Hummingbird Bakery book. I had to crack out the scales as the book is British and in grams, non of this measuring in cups business.
Thankfully the weather has not quite got to melt the frosting temperatures today, so I took the cupcakes outside for their photoshoot.
They turned out light, fluffy and delicious which I put down to the homemade butter and buttermilk!
Time to put the kettle on for a cuppa and cake methinks.
Next week is ‘Vintage’.

Yum! These look delectable. Made with homemade butter too…wow…you are truly an earth mother x
The home made butter was so fun, just whip that cream until it turns into butter. We want to get some fancy organic, straight from the cow cream to make lovely butter now!
Haha, I love it!! I’m so behind on my photos. Too much forgetting my SD card while I’ve been traveling. Boo.
Greta you are a busy girl! You can binge post a catch-up!
