Red Nose Day Bake Off Zoo


We had a bake-off at work as part of the Red Nose fundraising. I find this type of community fundraising amazing, it something that we'd need to learn at the part of the world that I come from. in a week's time by doing a bake-off, a pu quix, and one person getting dressed in her onesies on the 25th we've managed to raise over 1000 pounds for Comic Relief. Makes me really proud.
We had our bake-off on Wednesday and initally I was thinking of baking a more traditional Hungarian cake, the zserbo, unfortunately I didn't find one of the necessary ingredients the ground walnuts for it, so I've reverted back to my option B, some inspiration I got from bakerella 


According to bakerellea's original  recipe these muffins are supposed to be mini muffins, but as I didn't have any mini-muffin form at the time, I've decided to make traditional size muffins.


Also instead of confectionaly sugar I used ground coconut to keep the muffins less sweet, loads of Cadbury Milk buttons, and other chocolate decoration and the result was these lovely pandas, and owls.


It still makes me smile, and as we were baking something funny for money, they were also popular with my colleagues, luckily.
