We're back to traditional Spanish alcoholic drinks... this time with "Cupcakes de Carajillo"!But first, I have to apologise for three reasons:
- For my Piping Bag fail... adding too much liquor to the buttercream made its texture weird and I had to change the tip for a smaller one as I was trying to apply it... nightmare!!
- For not posting as often as usual... My University lectures are getting more difficult and God knows my German still needs hard work!
- For posting right now about 100000000000000000 pictures from last weekend... It's not that I want you to know more about me or something like that.... it's just that I travelled to Vienna with my fiancé and the cakes there are AWESOME!!! that's why I can't resist posting a few pics... So... here they are:
(Apfelstrudel... YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Sachertorte!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!)
That's me, pretending to be sofisticated at the Sacher Hotel!!!
In Vienna, even McDonald's Cakes look yummy:
Anyway, let's get back to my (disaster) Carajillo Cupcakes.
Carajillo is that drink that old men have in Spain so early in the morning that I think that if any of us did the same, it would cause serious damage to our stomachs.
It's basically Coffee + Liquor (yep, it's the Spanish version of Irish Coffee).
For my cupcakes I used this recipe from GoodFood replacing 1/3 of the coffee with liquor and without the nuts (didn't have any at home).
My mixture ready to be baked:
Result after 20 mins in the oven:

For the Buttercream, I didn't use the one on the Good Food recipe, but did my own one by mixing icing sugar, butter and shortening and, instead of making it creamy by using water, I added 2 tsp of coffee and 1 tsp liquor. Too much liquid, I think... You can see the results:
Well.... that's all for now... hope to be more successful next time!! However, even though they looked horrible... they were DELICIOUUUUUUUUS!!!!!!!
Roger Dubuis launched his eponymous brand rolex replica uk in 1995 after a distinguished career as a complications specialist at Patek Philippe. In doing so, he became one of rolex replica uk the pioneers of the modern independent horology movement. Despite Dubuis’ maverick streak and business partner Carlos Ruis’ penchant for offbeat designs, Roger Dubuis didn’t delve into the sports watch markets until late 2004. The debut of rolex replica uk Dubuis’ SAW line was a moment of profound cognitive dissonance for the watch snob rolex replica uk fraternity. Measuring over 43mm in diameter and festooned with graphics, the Aqua Mare, Sea More, and Easy Diver replica watches sale appeared to fit the mold of modern extrovert statement watches in the rolex replica spirit of Hublot’s Big Bang and the Zenith Defy Xtremes.
