New Years!<\/h3>\n

It’s post Christmas, and I am in the mood for a party – because it’s nearly New Years eve! For this years New Years eve bake I have gone down the line of one of my favourite drinks in the world (because I am extremely basic) – a passionfruit martini in cupcake form… so here are my passionfruit martini cupcakes! <\/p>\n

A passionfruit martini if you don’t already know is usually a mix of vodka, passion fruit liqueur, sugar syrup, lime, passion fruit and prosecco. These ingredients can change and vary depending on your point of view, or recipe you use, however. <\/p>\n

Passionfruit martini<\/h3>\n

I love a passionfruit martini as passionfruit is one of my favourite flavours in the world – I don’t know why I love it so much, other than it being DELICIOUS. A passionfruit martini is, usually, the cocktail I will order at any place I go. I tend to panic and order one as it’s usually pretty safe. <\/p>\n

This recipe for these passionfruit martini cupcakes is utterly delicious – and finally another bake with a kick! My gin & tonic bakes<\/a> are always a hit with you guys – but I thought I might as well expand the selection that is perfect for something like NYE. But one thing I will say, these are not kid friendly. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cupcakes<\/h3>\n

For the cupcakes, I went for an easy cupcake recipe. It is just a plain sponge – with butter, caster sugar, self raising flour and eggs. Four ingredients makes something delicious – and it’s so easy! I naturally use a baking spread for the cupcake mix as it creates a beautiful bake – and the eggs, flour and caster sugar are just standard. <\/p>\n

Once baked into the beautiful baking cup<\/a>s I chose, and fresh out of the oven, I spooned over some vodka. This naturally soaked into the sponges as they cooled. I then cored out some of the cupcake to add in some passionfruit curd. This is utterly optional, but who doesn’t love an extra passionfruit flavour?!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Buttercream<\/h3>\n

For the buttercream frosting I followed a similar idea to my gin & tonic cupcakes<\/a>, but obviously with vodka! If you wanted to have a Prosecco hit, you can try and add it here using a Prosecco syrup (boiling down Prosecco and sugar to a syrup) – but I just went straight with the vodka. <\/p>\n

You can use a passionfruit syrup or liqueur if you wanted – but you don’t want to overkill on the liquid. You MUST use block unsalted butter and not a baking spread or margarine of any kind. You need to make sure to use this otherwise you will end up with buttercream soup!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alcohol<\/h3>\n

You can obviously make these child friendly by removing the vodka – a fairly obvious suggestion – but honestly, just leave it out! It’s not needed if you want these cupcakes alcohol free. You do not need to replace the vodka with anything else either! So easy, and still just as delicious. <\/p>\n

If you did want something still fruity but more child friendly without changing anything, its best to check out my recipes such as neapolitan cupcakes<\/a> which kids tend to always find fun! I personally love the carrot patch cupcakes<\/a> all year round because who doesn’t love a chocolate coated strawberry on top of a cupcake!<\/p>\n

Decoration<\/h3>\n

For the decoration, I decided to go a little overboard as these are meant to be celebration cupcakes, and used some edible gold glitter spray, a bit of a gold straw for decoration, and I used some small pipettes<\/a> to add a mini ‘shot’ of prosecco to each cupcake. <\/p>\n

My decoration is always optional, but I like to fit the theme! If you want to use something else instead of the prosecco in the pipettes<\/a> then go for it! I also used a quarter of a passionfruit per cupcake as they usually do feature in the cocktail itself! I thought half a passionfruit may be too large, but its entirely up to you!! Enjoy this recipe – and have a safe and happy New Years!! x<\/p>\n
