Bake with us: Pressed Flower Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes
***
You can’t go wrong with an edible wedding favour, and as anything in miniature is cuter than its full size counterpart, these mini cupcake wedding favours are the perfect choice! Decorate with some pressed, edible flowers and you’re bang on trend too.
We’ve created mini red velvet cupcakes for our wedding favours. Bitesize vanilla and chocolate flavour cakes with a distinctive red colour. Perfect for eating in one (or a couple of bites if you’re being polite).
Our recipe will produce 50 mini cupcakes, plus a couple more in case you need a spare. So scale up the recipe if you need to bake a larger amount.
Another bonus to miniaturising your cupcakes is that they’ll bake in no time at all. Each batch bakes for approx 8 to 10 minutes at 160oC. Assembling your favour boxes will probably be the most time consuming part!
