Spring flower cup cakes

Sometimes you call the midwife; and you can only hope that someone kind, experienced, calm and utterly professional answers the call.

In April I was in luck! A fabulous midwife named Anja Flagstad made sure that my son was delivered safely into this world, and that I survived the ordeal without any physical or mental damage.

But she was not alone. She has some truly competent colleagues at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, and the all deserved a cake – and I really felt like making cup cakes....

The cakes consists of:

125 gram sugar beat with 2 eggs (until white). Add 125 gram melted butter. Stir in 125 gram flour + vanilla + ½ tea spoon salt + 1 tea spoon baking powder. Add 1/2 decilitre milk + approx 150 gram chopped dark chocolate and grated marzipan.  Pour into cup cake baking tray and bake for 15 min. at 200 degrees.

I used royal icing and fondant flowers for decoration.
