January Cakes... no particular reason!

Something to add a little brightness, cheer and girliness to an otherwise rather dull month!

Christmassy Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for my beloved's family as a Christmas present. I was slightly disappointed with how they turned out as my handmixer packed up before I'd made my buttercream so I had to do it by hand which meant that it wasn't as smooth as usual and therefore not suitable for putting through a piping nozzle. Oh well... they still tasted very nice and it's the thought that counts ;-)

30th Birthday Bakes

18 cupcakes made for a colleague's son's 30th Birthday. They were going to be having a bit of a get-together over lunch and these were 'pudding' :)

I went for a star design as I thought it was slightly more masculine than flowers. I did do some flowers for the girls in the party too. Thought that the star design worked well so will probably use it again over the Christmas period.

Red Rose Cupcakes

Made for a 41st Birthday :)

'Under the Sea' cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for an 11-year-0ld's swimming party.

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!
