Thank You Cupcakes

  

The weekend went by too quickly and I was definitely suffering from Mondayitis at work today, the only cure for it is to create something pretty & delicious but a BIG pile of laundry awaits so no baking tonight.

I did however, manage to go along to a cake decorating event on Saturday. The ladies doing the demonstrations were amazing! Next to these whizzes I'm a baby who's just learning to crawl. I had my wallet cleared of all cash too - I simply couldn't resist buying more little 'helpers'.

I made some some "Thank You" cupcakes for a friend's work mate and used my new 'helpers' to create the flowers for these cupcakes.

The cupcakes are caramel with caramel icing and honey & pear with honey cream cheese icing.

What shall I make next?

1. Black Forest Cupcakes
2. Green Tea Cupcakes

3. Chocolate Mud Cake with a Chocolate Mousse Filling covered in Chocolate Ganache

Fairy Cake

It's mid month now and I have just realised that I have not posted anything since the 1st.

Here it is, Claire in her garden of flowers and butterflies.

I was 'experimenting' with a new white chocolate mud cake recipe I found online and this is what became of the cake. I'm just not sure if I would want to cut the cake up!

My next project will be a chocolate cake with chocolate mouse filling. I'm getting hungry just thinking of it!

Here I present to you, Claire - The Sugar Fairy.

I am thinking of creating some friends for her to keep her company so watch this space!

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.
