Model villages, dolls houses and tiny hand-painted aircraft; there's just something so satisfying about things in miniature. With this in mind mini cakes and bakes offer the very peak of contentment - the pleasure coming not only from their small-but-perfectly-formed stature, but also in the eating.
Whether recreating a famous cake or dessert in scaled-down form - as Victoria Glass expertly demonstrates in her Miniature tiramisu recipe - or cooking up some treats for afternoon tea, this collection of mini cake recipes contains some fantastic inspiration for bite-sized bakes. Requiring no cutlery to eat, Helen Jessup's Mini raspberry tarts are the perfect puddings to take on a picnic, while Alyn Williams' Mini cupcake recipe is packed with spice for a truly memorable mouthful.
