Auction of Promises Lot #3: Daisy Cakes

These cakes were made for my friend and fellow singer Anna's birthday. Anna, who sings with me in the Fairhaven Singers (http://www.fairhavensingers.org.uk/) was one of the three 'winning' bidders at the choir's auction of promises. Happy birthday, Anna!

Farewell Fairy Cakes!

Next week I lose my gorgeous Year 11 GCSE class as they go on study leave :-(

As a fairwell gift to them, I baked them these springtime daisy cakes which were well-received :-) Good luck with your exams, girls!!

Pink Daisies Poured Fondant Cupcakes

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

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!
