When I make cupcakes I usually cheat and buy the Basco Gluten free butter cake mix.  I do have a recipe but I've never tried it.  Here it is anyway.

Flower fairy cakes

75g gluten free flour

50g ground almonds (or another 50g of GF flour and omit the almonds)

1t baking powder

125g butter, softened

125g caster sugar

2 eggs

finely grated rind of 1 lemon plus 3T of lemon juice

225g icing sugar

orange and yellow food colouring

method:

Line tarlet trays with 18 paper cases

Put flour, almonds, baking powder, butter, sugar, eggs and lemon rind in a large bowl. Beat with electric whisk for about 2 mins.

Using teaspoons divide mixture amoung the paper cases and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20-25 mins until golden and just firm to touch. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

To decorate put lemon juice in a bowl and mix with icing sugar to make a smooth paste.  Transfer half to another bowl and colour one half orange and the other half yellow.

Ice half of the cupcakes with orange icing and half with yellow icing then using a piping bag pipe flowers over the cupcakes in the contrast coloured icing.

Let me know if you need other recipes/ideas and I'll get back to you in few weeks

am sincerely sorry about the delay in posting these

ETA: for pancakes I use the pikelet recipe from my edmonds cookbook and just replace the flour with Gluten Free baking mix

Chocolate lovers cake

175g butter

175g caster suger

3 eggs

2t vanilla extract

25g cocoa powder

175g gluten free baking mix

1t baking powder

100g of chocolate buttons

method:

Put the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla essence, cocoa powder, flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl and beat for about 2 mins until smooth and creamy.

Put into a lined, greased 20cm cake tin and sprinkle with chocolate buttons then level the surface.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 25 mins or until firm to the touch.

Ice with chocolate icing

I made two of these for Michaela's birthday, one using a bit more cocoa and dark chocolate buttons and the other following the recipe and using milk chocolate buttons.  I then sandwiched them together and iced with white chocolate icing - was so yum, especially for a chocolate lover like me.

Gluten free cheese scones

Mix 2 cups GF bread mix (I use healtheries) with 2t baking powder and 1/2t salt.  Add 75g grated cheese and mix in 1 1/4 cups milk.

knead briefly on a floured board and shape into a large square. 

cut into 8 - 10 pieces and sprinkle more grated cheese on each

place on a floured tray and bake at 215C for 10 mins

(for alternative flavour try adding paprika or mustard powder to dry ingredients)

Sorry Hun, I've been terribly slack.  Here's a few of my favourite afternoon tea type recipes to start you off.

Savoury muffins

6 bacon rashers

1 small red onion finely chopped

2 tomatos chopped

125g gluten free plain flour (I use healtheries bread mix)

2t baking powder (edmonds is GF)

1c cheese

200ml milk

2 eggs

3T vegetable oil

method:

cut rind and any excess fat off then chop up the bacon and fry it in a lightly oiled pan for 3-4 mins with the onion.

mix the cornmeal, plain flour and baking powder in a bowl and add the tomatos, cheese, bacon and onions.

in a seperate bowl whisk the milk, eggs and oil.  Add to the dry ingredients and mix well.

divide among greased 12-muffin tin sections and bake in a preheated oven at 220C (or 425F) for 20 mins
