Latest creations

Hi everyone,
Apologies for the lack of postings recently. I have been busy baking but haven't set aside any time to upload photos. Here's a selection of what's coming out of my kitchen these days...

First up are some shabby chic cupcakes decorated with handmade flowers and bows......so girly

I love playing around with duck egg (bluey-green) sugarpaste at the moment - such a pretty colour.

Next up are some mini cakes covered in sugarpaste......

and then another mini cake with a handmade sugar rose.......so pretty for a wedding

 

and here's another sugar rose I made......I'm finally getting the hang of how to make these.....

 

Next are a selection of flower cupcakes. I put these together as a sample for a class that I will be running from June to September at Cakeology called 'Garden Party Cupcakes'.

Last of all is another vintage inspired cupcake - I love making these

Hope you all have a lovely week.

Back in the kitchen!

Hi everyone - apologies for being offline for so long. I have been enduring renovations to my home for the last 2.5 months and only recently have gotten access to a kitchen again after 5 weeks! I've been having major baking withdrawals so as soon as my ovens (yes I have 2 ovens now!!) were connected up I had to test them out. Here are some little girly cupcakes I made.....

The icing was piped using a PME 57 nozzle to make individual petals. I used 2-tone icing and added lilac glitter and little pearl draguees on the top to make them extra cute!

Flower Cupcakes

Flower cupcakes to enjoy on a sunny day in the garden. I piped buttercream onto each cake to create roses, chrysanthenums, hydrangeas and fantasy flower patterns.

Huggies

I love these cup-hugging cookie cutters from Cox &Cox. The cutters come in a set of three (either stars, hearts or butterflies) and have a little slit in them to allow you to hang the cookie on the rim of a cup or mug. Such a great idea! The good news is you can even make these cup-hugging cookies - or 'huggies' as I like to call them - by cutting a slot into any small shape with a knife. Here's my attempt using small heart and flower cookie cutters......

So easy, yet so effective......
