Mini Cakes

 You would be forgiven for thinking that you had seen these cakes before on my blog. They are almost exactly the same as the "Little gem" cakes that Ellie made with her friends.
Last Thursday I was looking for something quick and easy to make for Ben's leavers disco, and discovered these cakes. The recipe is very similar to the little gem one, but it doesn't contain milk, and the icing does not contain lemon. If I were choosing between them, I think the little gems are nicer, but there is not much difference.
The recipe says it makes 32 cakes, using petit four cases. I only have some mini muffin cases, so I used them, and made 20 cakes. The icing suggested was not nearly enough, and probably needs doubling if you  want a decent blob on your cake. We gave them 7.5.
Ben enjoyed the disco. He actually breaks up today, and finishes his time at primary school - how the time flies!
