The Caramel Cornflake Cupcake is a true Crumbs & Doilies favourite and now you can make it yourself at home! Sally's over at our Soho store with the full recipe and tutorial on how to bake these rich, caramelly, crunchy cupcakes.

If you remember to then snap some pics of the finished cupcakes (....or the leftover crumbs) and share them with us on Instagram using the hashtag #cupcakejemma so we can all see and share!
