Engagement Cupcakes!

I made these for my sister as a birthday pressie but as it was, she got engaged! The glitter hasn't shown up that well in these photos but you get the idea :)

Pink and Blue Flower Fondants

I made these to mark the start of the autumn term and to try out a new icing colour - a baby blue. I also wanted to use this gorgeous, vintage cake stand which a great friend gave me to display my cupcakes. Enjoy!

Pink Daisies Poured Fondant Cupcakes

I was really pleased with how these came out although the photos don't really do them justice!

Romantic Rose Cupcakes

I made these today for my beloved who arrives back from Australia after 2 months. Hope he likes them! I was hoping to flavour the buttercream with some rose essence but Lakeland didn't have any in stock alas. I used my new handmixer - a John Lewis one. It's fab!

Chocolate Buttercream Swirl Cupcakes

My first attempt at chocolate cupcakes and choclate buttercream. Alas! My handmixer packed up completely during the mixing of the buttercream so I didn't get it as light and fluffy as I'd hoped. Still pretty yummy though :)

Pink and Purple Buttercream Swirls

I made these very girly cupcakes yesterday. I've learned that contasting the colour of the buttercream with the colour of the sugar flowers works best as the pink doesn't really show up against the pink unless layered on top of a different colour.

Assorted Girly cupcakes

My cupcakes are all very girly and pink but I am very proud of them. Too pweety to eat?!
