To impress the in-laws, I always bake something (as they don't bake much themselves but love sweets). Being a busy and tired mother, I didn't have much time this year to make something from scratch so I obtained the help of Green's Chocolate Beanies Cupcakes pack.
They were quite quick to make (only 15-20 minutes baking time and 10 minutes preparation). The most time went towards icing the cupcakes because I was trying to be careful to do it neatly. For the seasoned baker, that probably wouldn't take that long.
I did find that there was too much icing and not enough dough (I expected the dough to rise higher than the cupcake holders).
Here is what the result looked like:
Here's hoping they taste good and the relos are happy.
UPDATE: They looked better than they tasted. I found them a bit dry

They look yummy, in fact, I'm hungry!
You'll have to let us know what the relos say ;)
They look sooo good. Is the cake itself quite moist? I miss having an oven!

Dan's family was happy with them.
Amanda, no, the cake wasn't moist at all. What happened to your oven?
That's a shame. The icing looks delicious though :P Our oven hasn't worked since I was about 13. We have a convection oven for meats and things but it's no good for baking cakes or biscuits :(
The icing was what made the cupcake nice :)
Not the smarties then?
The smarties together with the icing :)
