Happy Birthday Mummy!

My Mum's birthday was on Thursday and she had to work that night (she's a nurse!), I thought I'd cheer her up by making her some cakes to take in with her.

I made some regular vanilla ones and topped with iced buttercream roses. I then made some vanilla ones that I filled with strawberry coulis and then topped with buttercream and fresh strawberries. Finally I made belgium chocolate chip mini cupcakes and topped with chocolate genache and crispy chocolate balls.

Easter cupcakes

The friends commitee at our school is responsible for providing cakes and snacks for various events. Our resident cake maker was on holiday (how very dare she!) so I quickly made some for the Easter service that was held at the end of term.

Both types were a basic vanilla sponge mix. I iced the pink roses and topped with sparkles. The green icing was suppose to look a bit like grass and the bunnies are made from wafers.

Candy floss cupcakes for the Rainbows group party.

It was my daughters last week at Rainbows. They were having a party so I made some cakes for them all to share.

Made with a basic vanilla sponge recipe and finished with a candy floss flavoured icing. We topped these with tiny rainbow coloured stars.

Oreo cupcakes...

Yum, yum! Oreo cupcakes, made with a chocolate sponge and finished with oreo flavoured buttercream. Best eaten with a glass of milk, try not to dunk though as the sponge goes soggy....

I'm such a lazy arse!

I haven't updated my blog in, like, forever! I have been pretty busy with exciting new projects and it's not that I've stopped cooking or baking I just keep forgetting to document it. Fail!
So I have been making lots and lots of cupcakes in recent weeks, I have taken pics of some of my creations when I've remembered so I'm just going to upload the pictures and maybe add a description etc etc.
