Animal Kingdom

These cute animal cupcakes were made about a fortnight ago and they're all gone now. The cupcakes were a delicious vanilla with chocolate fudge icing.

Shoe Cake

Remember the gum paste shoe I made a wee while ago? Well - it was actually for Michele's birthday....surprise!!!

The cake was a white chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache - Michele has always asked for white chocolate so white chocolate it shall be. I'll try an apple cake next year since that is her other favourite.

Happy Mama's Day

Pecan & Maple Syrup Cake

Happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there!!

I made a pecan & maple syrup cake for my mum today. Being the disorganised daughter I am I just winged the design although I had other ideas - a basketweave with maple syrup buttercream and lots of handmade roses with butterflies in between was one but I had run out of time.

Engagement Cupcakes

Congratulations George & Ashley

  

I couldn't decide what to get for our friends - George & Ashley who got engaged a couple of months back and we're catching up with them for dinner tonight so the 'easy' way out for me was to whip up a small batch of cupcakes.

The cupcakes are vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting - the recipe came out of the Hummingbird Bakery Recipe Book. It seems to be my favourite book at the moment as I am going through trying the yummylicious recipes.

And for desert tonight I made apple crumble...topped with custard or vanilla ice cream - hmmmm
