In a world of brown and beige things, sometimes you just need a bit of colour, y'know? Well, I think these might be the brightest cupcakes I have ever made and the best thing about them is that the colour is TOTALLY NATURAL!!! Hibiscus is not only the best colour ever, it also has a really strong, tart flavour which works really well in this cupcake.
