  Don't be put off by the blue icing. The basic cupcake recipe is so easy and delicious. I have made these many times and they have always turned out beautifully. Have also tried omitting the lemon and adding 1tsp vanilla extract to make vanilla cupcakes. Haven't made the blue icing, nicer to do your own buttercream or basic icing sugar with a bit of lemon juice.

  Delicious! I used the vanilla extract too and added 100g chopped glace cherries which were near use-by-date (reserving 6 so that I could put half on top of each cake). Very light. They didn't last long!!

  They are so beautiful and easy to make! I made them many times in the morning for my daughter's lunchbox. Never did blue icing -- they are nice just plain!

  Easiest baking recipe ever! Made these with my 8 year old goddaughter and she was more than capable of doing them herself. Absolutely delish, has to make a 2nd batch as they were intended to be for a friends girly night in but we actually ate most of the first batch.

  I'm going to make these for my little sisters birthdayparty but I had a trial run last night and they tasted fantastic! Everybody liked them and they're so versitle you can change the blue food colouring for another colour or some lemon/lime/orange juice if you wish. Lovely recipe and easy too!

  This recipe is lovely, I changed the flavour of the icing to Almond with Almond extract; jus a couple drops will do , for a grow up taste , really not for kids. The cupcakes were perfect light and fluffy and i left them in for a few minute longer because i like the slightly crisper firmer texture on top. I will use this 125g opposed to other cominations e.g 175g flour 125g butter etc. basis for the rest of my other cupcake variations from now on because it makes a lovely cupcake and was super easy, my Son helped me. nb : I did not chuck in all the ingredients like suggested did Marg, sugar then flour then egg and other ingredients> thats how i was taught when young < i dont know if it actually makes a difference.

  i just made these and they're absolutely delicious and simple to make! i made the icing (using red food colouring to make it pink) and it's just the right amount for 12 regular-sized cupcakes. will definitely be making them again.

  Would love to make these and ever since I saw the recipe I look around for the 'diamonds' but unsuccessfully. I live in Brisbane and this is not unusual, it is quite pathetic really.
