Honey Cupcakes
Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. This is the Honey Cupcakes that I’ve mentioned earlier in my previous post How To Make Coloured Sugar. It is a very simple recipe and honey was added in the cake. Just remember not to overmix the ingredients while mixing or else after baking you’ll get a tough cake. To make the cupcakes more presentable, I’ve whipped up some fresh topping cream with whipping cream and sprinkled with some yellow coloured sugar but for long lasting decorations, I suggest you to use butter cream or meringue icing instead. These Honey Cupcakes are great for giving away or served in a party to impress your guests.

Hi if my cupcake is more to rounded , nt flat top, wat could be the problem? Thks
You can just pipe the cream on top or trim the top a little to make it flat.
Wow!Your cupcakes are beautiful. I love the added touch of those little buttercream bugs you have, it really gives it something different than a plan iced cupcake. The recipes look delicious – might have some baking to do soon!
Thanks for posting 🙂
Hi Ann

Can you believe that I still haven't made any cupcakes… ever? I really need to try and make these sometime.
This is so cute! I haven't even made one single cupcake… shame? I think so too. I don't think I can even put nice icing on top….hehee. Love the sprinkle. So pretty!
Wow, these cupcakes look great, love the cake and the frosting…so cute!
Hope you are having a wonderful week Ann 🙂
Oh Ann, your cupcakes are simply delightful!
Thank you so much for sharing…
Honey cakes, how very delicious. My neighbour keeps bees, so this could be a truly local dish! GG
Cherry Potato, 没问题。。当然可以呀！:D
Sonia, I also prefer no frosting but this is for the kids.
Tigerfish, so you know how to bake lol! Anyway thanks for your compliment.
@Christy
Hi Christy, Thank you very much for your comment. I love honey and I want to come to your site and take a look at your Honey Chiffon Cake. Must be very delicious 🙂
@Jo
Hi Jo, yes I bought it from Sunlik.
Those cupcakes are very pretty! Great colour.
They do look pretty. Love the coloured sugar!
Absolutely stunning and delicious tasting cupcakes!:)
I would love these anytime, not only at parties.
Honey is indeed a very versatile ingredient; not only can it be used in drinks or cooking but also in baking. I am happy to see honey being used in a lot of cakes these days, and I have recently tried Honey Chiffon cake. These honey cupcakes just look so wonderful and I am sure there will be many more honey bakes to come, right? 😉
I usually can do without the topping. The honey cake will do. Nonetheless, your topping looks gorgeous with the golden crystals and the bee ;p
The cupcakes are so cute. Great for kids!
Those cupcakes are very pretty. I like the little ladybug too 🙂
i feel cupcake must decorate with frosting then it look perfect like yours, but i'm too lazy to make the frosting, hehehe..
好漂亮的小蛋糕！我可以只要那个甲虫和蜜蜂吗？真的很可爱。
Ann, the cupcakes look so soft and moist. I love the piping and the decoration too. Did you get the sugar pieces from Sun Lik?
These are adorable! I love your decorating skills. My kids would be giddy to see these.

@Jessie-CookingMoments
Jessie, 呵呵。。。你也很可爱哦！这蛋糕我不是很喜欢，只有小孩喜欢， 因为减了糖粉还是觉得很甜。
@Angel @ Cook.Bake.Love
Angel, Already posted the tutorial as you requested. Whipping cream is non-dairy cream while fresh cream is usually for mousse cake and spreading.
@Anonymous
Hi Jo, The Fresh topping cream is usually for making mousse cakes and spreading on birthday cakes (you can check on my birthday cakes for kids at the categories)while whipping cream is cooking cream (unsweetened), I usually used this for ganache cream (chocolate cream).
@Spoon and Chopsticks
Spoon and Chopsticks, Quickly make some for the coming Christmas :))
