Mini cake recipes | Gourmet Traveller

What is it about mini cakes that makes them so endearing? It could be the delicateness of the decoration and presentation, or their bite-sized smallness that makes them the ideal sweet treat for morning tea. Cupcakes, madeleines, mini pies – we have them all, and we have them small.
