Comments on: Vanilla and Chocolate Bear family cupcakes http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/04/20/vanilla-and-chocolate-bear-family-cupcakes/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

It even got me feeling warm and fuzzy towards family of bats. Today is the RSPCA’s Cupcake Day where keen bakers all over Australia bake cupcakes and raise money for the RSPCA. I decided on koalas a while back and thought that instead of a plain vanilla cupcake I’d use Lemon Myrtle just to upp the Australian-ness of it. The idea for these came from Clare Crespo’s Hey There, Cupcake! from which I’ve used many of her decorating suggestions for example, the panda and bear cupcakes.

Well if you pass the 6 -7 year old test you know that they're brilliant! I'd definitely love to see pics, you can email me on info[AT]notquitenigella[dot]com (replacing the at and dot appropriately).

The web address you provided was perfect as they sell and deliver online and are in melbourne city where my husband works, so if I need something in a hurry, I just get him to go in and pick it up. Will let you know how the cupcakes I'm making turn out after my daughter's 6th birthday party with her friends (6 & 7 year olds are the toughest critics). Fingers crossed all goes well. Is there anyway I can send a photo for you to see? Thanks for the tip about where to find the baking cups.

Were they moist cupcakes and did your husband like these? I had one of my questions answered (reading the other comments and answers) - re: sourcing the lovely paper baking cups you use. For some reason, these cups make the cupcakes look more delicious than the crinkle-variety cups! These are very cute too! Were they moist cupcakes and did your husband like these?
