Christmas Time

I made some red velvet cupcakes from a recipe forwarded to me by a baking addict in the office (you know who you are). She had gotten the recipe from the Chelsea Sugar website - Here is the link to the recipe if you want to give it a go Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe 


It's an easy recipe and is absolutely delectable...the only evidence left of these cupcakes are the pictures you're looking at now.


I hope you have a wonderful Christmas & New Year

Daisy Fruit Cake

Here it is! I finally covered a cake with fondant, even the daisies were made of fondant. It's not the prettiest looking thing but hopefully with practice I'll get better and there will be less visible flaws.

I made the fruit cakes a little too late this year and so they're a little dry...The ones made earlier this year are sitting in a fridge 8,000 miles away.

I seem to be constantly running into a problem of not knowing what to do with the finished creations. I guess we'll have to finish this cake ourselves...

Snowflakes in Summer

Summer Snowflakes

Macaroons should have come out of the oven this weekend but carrot cupcakes came out instead. I saw the carrots at the vege shop and momentarily forgot that I was supposed to try my hand at making macaroons. Oopsie!

I covered the carrot cupcakes with a layer of cream cheese frosting then topped it off with a snowflake.

There's about 2 dozen of these yummy treats left in the kitchen...first in first served.

Enjoy!!
