baking mad for breast cancer awareness

source

last week, when i saw the gorgeous megan share her pink salted caramel cupcakes all in the name of breast cancer awareness month, i decided that i wanted to get involved too. i got in touch with baking mad who confirmed that they would be donating £10 to uk charity breast cancer care for every article that was written in collaboration during the month of october... how could i say no? it's for charity!
 
except... i'm not a great baker, and i don't really know how to make cupcakes. so, wanting to stay true to the month's pink theme, i checked out the baking mad website and trawled through their many cupcake recipes until i found the perfect one to try; pink champagne cupcakes. with some lovely bubbly left over from my birthday and a cupboard full of baking ingredients, i've got everything i need to make these pretty little things and help a great charity...
 
except the time.
 
i really, truly wanted to get my recipe baked by the end of the month so that baking mad could count on me for the extra donation, but i just... ran out of time. so, this is my pledge to make these cupcakes for an up-and-coming bake sale at work, where all money raised will go to another great UK charity - teenage cance trust. so, not only will breast cancer care get their donation from baking mad, but so will the tct when hoards of my colleagues will fall over themselves to buy these in the next few weeks...
 
these are the cupcakes that just keep on giving.
