Cuppa & Cupcake 4 Crossroads This year it’s Carers Week from the
9-15th June 2014!
Giving a break to those who need it most
What we want you to do Dear Supporter, This year it’s Carers Week from the 9-15th June 2014 and we are inviting everyone to hold a Cuppa & Cupcake 4 Crossroads tea party to raise money in order to support unpaid Carers in Surrey. We are suggesting that people ask for a minimum £5 donation to attend their party and that you take lots of photographs of your event to send to us along with the money you have raised! Alternatively you can make your donation through the Virgin Money Giving link on our website www.crossroadscaresurrey.org.uk You can hold your party at a time and place that suits you! It can be as simple as inviting a few friends to your home to have a cup of tea and a natter over delicious cakes to a large themed Tea and Cake Party at a hired venue with all your friends, family and colleagues and members of the public. By supporting Crossroads Care Surrey you are helping us to provide precious breaks to unpaid Carers in the County. These breaks can help to recharge Carers batteries and give them the strength to keep caring for their loved ones. If you would like further information hosting a Cuppa & Cupcake 4 Crossroads tea party please contact Sheila Hargreave on 01483 447788. All proceeds from your Cuppa & Cupcake 4 Crossroads party should be sent to: Sheila Hargreave, Crossroads Care Surrey, 1st Floor Suite,

Recipes & Ideas Coconut & raspberry cupcakes Ingredients
175g self-raising flour 140g caster sugar 50g desiccated coconut 140g butter, softened ½ tsp vanilla extract 2 large eggs 4 tbsp milk 140g raspberries, fresh or frozen
For the frosting
280g icing sugar 85g butter, softened 4 tbsp raspberry coulis, from a bottle or fresh a little desiccated or shredded coconut, to decorate
Method 1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with deep paper cases or a 15-hole bun tin with cake cases. Tip all the cake ingredients except the raspberries into a bowl and beat for 1-2 mins until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the raspberries.
2. Divide the mixture between the cases and bake for 18-20 mins (add a couple of extra mins for deep cases), until golden brown and firm to the touch. Leave to cool. 3. Beat together the icing sugar, butter and raspberry coulis to make a light, fluffy icing. Spoon or pipe onto the cakes and sprinkle with coconut. Recipe from Good Food magazine, June 2012
Recipes & Ideas Coffee cream & walnut cupcakes Ingredients
100g butter, well softened 100g light muscovado sugar 100g self-raising flour 2 large eggs 2 tsp instant coffee, mixed with 100ml/3½fl oz boiling water, then cooled 25g walnut halves, chopped, plus 12 more for the tops
For the frosting
200ml tub mascarpone (you'll find this with the soft cheeses) 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
Method 1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and make sure there’s a shelf ready in the middle. Line a 12-hole bun tin with fairy cake cases. Beat the butter, sugar, flour and eggs with 4 tsp of the coffee and a pinch of salt until creamy. Stir in the chopped walnuts. 2. Spoon the mix into the cases (start by adding 1 heaped tsp to each, then go back and top them up – that way they should all be of equal size), then bake for 18-20 mins until light golden and springy. Cool for a few mins in the tin, then lift the cakes out and cool completely on a rack. 3. Put the mascarpone, 3 tsp more of the coffee and the sugar into a large bowl, then beat together. Spread a dollop of the coffee cream onto the top of each cake, then finish with a walnut half. The cakes are best if they’re iced fairly near the time of eating, so if you’re making ahead, whip up the mascarpone mix, keep in the fridge, beat it again, then spoon onto the cakes just before serving. Un-iced cakes will keep up to 2 days in an airtight container. Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2009
