A fun and unique way to enjoy tasty cupcakes with a robot twist is to make these Robot Cupcakes. This is a great idea for robot fans and kids' parties.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Red and blue food coloring. Fondant or icing for decoration.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 350 F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake tin. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix the softened butter and sugar in a different bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing them in with the milk every so often. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk. Don't mix any further than that. Split the batter in half, making two equal parts. Add the cocoa powder to one part and mix to make chocolate batter. Add red and blue food coloring to the other half to make a robot-themed blue batter. To make a layered look, put a spoonful of the chocolate batter in each cupcake liner and then a spoonful of the blue batter in each one. In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. If you want to make the cupcakes look like robots, you can use fondant or icing to make faces or any other design you like. Give your cute Robot Cupcakes to people and enjoy them!

The robot waiters follow fixed paths to deliver food and drink orders to customers, who are asked to keep out of the robots’ way. The robots at the Enjoy Budapest Cafe can do it all - they can serve up food and drink, tell jokes, dance with the kids or just hang out for a chat with customers. The cafe, opened by IT company E-Szoftverfejlesztő in the Hungarian capital, is staffed by a whole team of robots that aim to help familiarise the public with the technological revolution in automation and artificial intelligence. The robot waiters follow fixed paths to deliver food and drink orders to customers, who are asked to keep out of the robots’ way. Others serve up entertainment, such as Pepper, a “receptionist” robot that can hold a conversation and also dance with customers.
