Wear it Pink

Friday was Wear it Pink day for us at work. It's well documented in this blog that I work in a heavily male environment so when I sent the e-mail round that everybody should dress in pink and donate money to do so, you can imagine the response. The thing is I knew they would all take part they just wanted to moan a bit first, you've got to love them. So I promised I would bring buns in for everybody who wore pink, that worked! We managed to raise £76, not bad for a small company like ours, but the majority of people did wear pink even one of the directors wore pink glittery socks! To promote the theme I made pink butterfly buns, not my normal type of baking, I hadn't made these since I was a child. I tried to make the sponge pink but it didn't matter how much I added it wouldn't go any darker, so I added it to the butter cream, loads of it but this was the darkest it would go. Never mind nobody had them in their hands long enough to inspect them!
