Comments on: Persian Love cupcakes http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/08/26/persian-love-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.

I hope this helps! Also if you have an oven thermometer that can help you test if your oven is having any issues coming to the correct temperature :) Hi Jazzmin-The mix should be folded gently which describes the motion but everything should definitely be combined fully :)

Are you baking them at 160 Celsius? I based them on the epicurious recipe so perhaps take a peek at what their readers have to say? :) Hi Pat-Thankyou so much! :D
