Auction of Promises Lot #2: Flirty Thirty-"something" Birthday Cupcakes

These cakes were made for my friend, and fellow singer, Nikki's birthday. Nikki, 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 for tomorrow, Nikki!

Tragically, I broke yet *another* handmixer whilst making these. What is it with me and these devices?! At this rate, I'm getting through four per year!!

I've entered these cupcakes into a competition. Keep everything croseed for me, won't you? If my cakes win the cupcake category I get £100 to spend online at a specialist cake-craft store. That would cover the cost of a new handmixer at least :)

Valentine's Day Cupcakes

Made as a surprise pressie for my Valentine and served with pink champagne :-P

January Cakes... no particular reason!

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

Pink Daisies Poured Fondant Cupcakes

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

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 :)
