Donna Hay: Basics to Brilliance

Basics To Brilliance Kids: Bake Sale (2x8)

Air date: Jan 11, 2019

What’s a bake sale without cupcakes? They’re everyone’s favourite, so Donna, Gracie and Natasha make a batch each, with various flavours of icing. They measure and whisk the simple mixture, divide it into paper cases and bake. While the cakes are turning golden and puffy in the oven, the girls head outside to make a sign for their stall. Donna then shows the girls how to make a lighter variation on classic buttercream, using cream cheese, ricotta, maple syrup and vanilla. Gracie flavours her quantity with raw cacao powder to make a chocolate icing. Spread onto the cooled cupcakes, Donna tops her icing with freeze-dried strawberries. A little taste test gets the tick of approval from the bakers.
