FUNDRAISING cupcakes
When I was a child, one of the things I delighted in was going to the local fete (or fair). And, one of the delights for tiny hands (and tiny mouth) at the fete, was 'cupcakes'!
Next Friday night 28th August is CupCakeCamp Sydney @cccsyd to raise money for the RSPCA. Please join us at CBS Interactive Lvl 12/ 50 Goulburn St, Sydney NSW 2000 Show map...
REGISTER HERE we need people to MAKE (cook and decorate) cupcakes and people to EAT cupcakes ... if you're cooking here are a few ideas to get you started ...
This is mum's Competition Patty Cakes recipe - and here are some others that were contributed or discovered:
Peanut Butter cupcakes and a Full Cupcake Week from fujimama
Vampire Cupcakes
Sparkly_Tiara found Cupcake kebabs
10 Interestingly Unique Cupcakes
and ozquilter made Himalayan Goji Berry Chocolate Cupcakes topped with Chocolate Ganache and Himalayan Pink Salt for the RSPCA cupcake day at her work "As a team building exercise for our work we decided to participate in the Cupcake Day for the RSPCA there’s a lot of keen people who want to eat them, but very few who want to make them, so I’ll be busy making cupcakes this weekend. The theme for the cupcakes is ‘animal’ so I thought chocolate and berry butterfly cakes would work well, mind you, I haven’t baked cupcakes in ages (wont say how long) and so this will be an interesting experiment in small cake making for me. We’re also in the process of moving house and ALL my cookery books are packed so I searched the interweb and found this recipe to try"
and the last word ... I of course most usually bake a 'big' cake (not 'little' cakes) and so will turn any favourite cake recipe into cupcakes for a good cause (just reduce the cooking time)

QUINOA videos, twitter tips and recipe links
The Incas held the crop to be sacred and referred to quinoa as "chisaya mama" or "mother of all grains".
Quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach and tumbleweeds. The leaves can also be eaten as a leaf vegetable but are currently not widely available commercially.
INTRODUCTION VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7uvygMiwfo&feature=fvw
Use as an alternative in any recipes where you would use white rice or couscous.
The Basic Quinoa Recipe
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
Place quinoa and water in a 3 pint saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated. Makes 3 cups.
TWITTER TIPS and FOOD BLOGGER LINKS:
@paigedansinger if you roast your quinoa in your pot first before adding water...it imparts fabulous nutty rich taste...Once tried cannot go back! ... make your tabouli with quinoa! Also great cold in a salad, or with avocado drizzled in olive oil... Endless uses, all amazing!!!!
Have fun with it!! Roast chicken with it, mix in a pilaf, mix it in scrambled eggs, put it in waffle mix, purée for babyfood..
@smittytabb Quinoa - what a great food it is. Learned so much about it in Ecuador where you can see it growing everywhere along the roads
