Following the success of the cream egg cupcakes I thought I might try to invent some based on the favourite school pudding syrup sponge - inventing new recipes is what I do when I can't sleep in the middle of the night. So yesterday DH was out all morning so off I went. I made the usual plain cupcake mix and added some dark brown sugar (replacing some of the white) and some golden syrup. So far far good. When cooked I cut out a cone shaped piece from the middle of the cupcake and filled it with golden syrup (you can see now where the bad comes in) - I then cut a bit off the bottom of the piece I had removed and popped the remainder back into place creating a lid. Once it was topped with a pile of golden syrup flavoured butter cream it looked pretty good. I know the kids will never guess what is inside and it will fun watching them eat them as the syrup should (if I'm lucky) have soaked in a little and also ooze out.

Oh Shem I wish I could eat all that stuff and be as skinny as I was in the good old days. Now even looking at golden syrup will put on a couple of pounds. The naughty but nice cakes are neatly wrapped and stacked in the freezer safely out of my sight. I am not sure how I will get on when the kids have one each though.Be careful when blindly following the Masses.

BL - they sounds totally delicious! There's something about the taste of golden syrup that makes anything taste better, and cakes taste good, so cakes plus golden syrup - mmmmm Yummy!
What a productive sleepless night you had.
Can you freeze golden syrup? I've never tried, because I thought it would crystallise or something."Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

Funny you should say this Daisy and I did wonder myself so I froze a small amount in a ramekin before making the cakes as a test. It defrosts just exactly as it went into the freezer. I think honey would crystallise though.
