Black Bottom Cupcakes! | Cupcake Jemma

These are some tasty cupcakes! I’d always been intrigued by the Black Bottom flavour and it took me a little while to get on the Black Bottom train it here they are! Tangy, chocolatey, creamy and delicious. And I’ve used a bit of gold leaf to make them extra special! Hope you like them - let me know in the comments how you get on, and don't forget to post your bakes to #cupcakejemma so I can check them out!

Why are my cupcakes pointy? Why are my cupcakes sunken in the middle? My cupcakes are dry and crumbly. They're heavy and stodgy. WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CUPCAKES? If you have found yourself constantly asking yourself these questions after baking cupcakes then I am going to break it down for you. In this video I'm going to show you what could be going wrong with your cupcakes and how you can make sure you are doing it right. Perfect, even, soft, moist, fluffy, flat, delicious cupcakes are in your future!

A notepad and a pen and a bit of patience!
