Red Nose Day is a national fundraising campaign that raises money for Cure Kids. Red Nose Day has been around for over decades, I remember it as a kid and getting involved in fun activities at school. It encourages everyone to be silly and have a laugh for a serious cause.
I thought it would be fun for my kids to get involved in a bit of baking for Red Nose day, and this what we came up with... cupcakes and red velvet mini cheesecakes.
Recipes:
The cupcakes are vanilla cupcakes that I sourced from the lovely Vanilla Cupcakes. I chose a different icing this time, I used Annabel Langbein's recipe:
120g butter
200g cream cheese
2 tbsp blackcurrant cordial
1 tsp vanilla extract
Red food colouring
5 cups icing sugar
And of course, Jaffas for decoration
Beat together the butter and cream cheese (at room temperature), then beat together with blackcurrant cordial, vanilla and cordial until creamy smooth. Add icing sugar and beat until smooth. Chill for 10 minutes and then put into a piping bag to pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
For the mini red velvet cheesecakes:
I got this recipe from: Tasty Retreat
I must say, when I got to this part, I got a little bit worried that my kids were still helping!! Aprons please!!
