YUM! This simple and easy cupcake is delicious and (can be) pretty. METHOD
Line a cupcake tin with 12 paper cases. Cream the butter (it needs to be fairly soft) and the sugar together–a wooden spoon is best. Beat the eggs in a little at a time Add the vanilla extract. Fold in the flour using a metal spoon. Divide mixture evenly between the cases. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 180°. Cool on a wire rack.
Buttercream Put the butter (which needs to be fairly soft) into a large bowl and then beat in the icing sugar (sieved) a little at a time. Warning—-this will get messy! Add a little milk if necessary to get a good consistency and add food colouring to make it look lovely. Leo Tidmarsh, 8E
The Great Dulwich Bake Off
In October, Dulwich College hosted the latest in a long string of DC charity events, a Bake Off . Joe Atkinson, Jack Probert and Josh McConnell from 8L organised a great competition: full of baking, eating and fundraising. It cost £1 to enter, with a 1 st prize of £10 and spot prizes of big packets of sweets. 13 year 8 boys took up the gauntlet (or oven glove!) producing goodies that ranged from doughnuts to brownies to millionaires shortbread. All of this left judges Mr Jepson and Mr Scarisbrick with no room to spare. Gabriel Rahman won 1 st prize with his Oreo cakes. The remaining cakes were sold, raising more than £110 for Trinity Hospice. A great sum, which may be added to with a year 7 competition. A huge thank you to all who participated in such grand fashion, Alex Mellis for producing the poster and Mr Tanna and Miss Crossley for their great support and help with organising the event. However, this event is just one piece in a bigger jigsaw. Dulwich College puts on a great number of charity events, which bring out the ingenious and imaginative side of the boys who organise them. This has raised funds for charities like Cancer Research, Trinity Hospice, Level Water, Teenage Cancer Trust and The Samaritans to name but a few. The Dulwich boys recognise how fortunate they are, and give generously to these charity events. It is important to remember that some people in the world are trapped in very dark places, but the charities we support make the world a lighter place. Joe Atkinson, 8L
