January Cakes... no particular reason!

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

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.

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 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.
