carrot cake muffins

I have no idea where I got this recipe from, but I'd obviously downloaded it from the printing. It's a carrot cake recipe which is high in oat & apple content, and very low in fat. It doesn't use the perennial vegetable oil, but half a cup of butter instead. Bad for you ? you decide. It has 2 eggs and one extra egg white which means it's lovely and light. Personally I enjoy something a bit heavier in the carrot-cake genre, but this is not a bad offering.
Frosting (icing) is a-la Nigella. You need to be generous on the lemon or lime juice tho' to offset the carrot and oat flavour.

Does whatever a spider can

Zack's Spiderman Birthday Cake for the party. There, I've put it on the web. It represents hours of baking and icing. One thing I can say is that the colouring paste is a real winner - managed to get this indigo blue by being heavy handed with it. I did the black lines with the buy-in-a-tube variety which comes out very shiny. It was an efficient solution to the "black icing colouring" dilemma I was in. I'll definitely use it again.
