My first Blog - Daisy cupcakes!

















Hey there!
Welcome to my first ever blog!
This bank holiday weekend I've been busy with my most elaborate baking project to date. I love making cookies, cupcakes etc. but I fancied a bit of a challenge and I had time on my hands. I took the idea for these little cuties from Peggy Porschen's "Pretty Party Cakes" although the recipe for the cupcakes themselves was taken from the marvellous "hummingbird bakery cookbook". This was my first attempt at making anything using flower paste. It was also my first shot at making fondant icing. I had planned for the icing to be baby pink but it came out radioactive red!! Next time I will buy a food colouring that is specifically pink rather thank hoping to water down a red!
