Easter Cupcakes

The day before Easter Friday I decided to make some Gluten Free Carrot Cupcakes for an Easter lunch I was having with my family.

I followed a recipe online and substituted the flour in the recipe for the Healtheries Baking Mix Gluten Free flour. Let me tell you now, it wasn't pretty!



They looked absolutely horrible! But as I was peeling all the mix off the cupcakes cases I was eating bits and pieces and it tastes really good!

I wasn't going to give up just yet!



I threw together some cream cheese frosting and toasted some coconut then topped them with tiny Cadbury candy coated Easter eggs.



I love how they turned out! They hid all the mistakes and no one had a clue...until I told them!



The cupcakes actually tasted really nice but I'm not going to post the recipe because, lets face it, who wants that mess again?! (Not me!)



Now I'm on a mission to find a good Gluten Free Carrot Cake recipe! Wish me luck!

  1. Those look amazing! Don't you just hate it when things go wrong, especially when you use such pretty cupcake papers... I reckon one of the signs of a great cook is when you turn a disaster into something delicious, amazing!
    There used to be a carrot cake recipe on the back of the healtheries mix, I tried it once but it was really dense and stodgy.

  2. Oh dear! Lydi, did anyone tell you to use about 3/4c GF flour for every 1c standard flour? I should try to dig out my carrot cake recipe for ya :)
