I was sent some nice freebies from the people at American Soda, the American sweet website so I made these fab brownies with the ingredients. There’s a crunchy texture to the top of the brownie, whilst the inside remains slightly gooey – exactly how a brownie should be!
I took the idea of the traditional Eton Mess (fresh cream, meringue and strawberries) but used buttercream. The inside of the cupcake is stripy, which is a nice surprise when you bite into it!
I love the refreshing blend of fruits that you get in Pimm’s: strawberry, cucumber, orange and mint. I’ve been thinking about how best to combine all the flavours into a cupcake and this is the result.
