Cupcakes!

I made these beautiful little cupcakes last night. I made the teeny tiny decorations and covered them in delicious butter icing! Believe me - they are yuuummmmy!

Its just a simple lemon sponge cake (4 eggs, 8oz s.r.flour, 8oz butter, 8oz sugar, 2 tbl spoons lemon juice - sounds alot but you do get 24 cakes in one batch!) and a quick butter icing mixture (3oz butter, 6oz icing sugar, 2 tea spoons lemon juice) and any decorations of your choice. I chose to make mine using sugar paste and colourings. I actually made these decorations using a straw, but you can get a whole load of different sized and shaped cutters. To be honest, I like the rustic look!

I've started taking orders from people, so half of these are for a friend of a friends birthday! (The picture to the right is just a close up of some of the cakes for her, her name is written on the stars in the middle of the board)

Birthday Cake

So I made a birthday cake for Adam's birthday a few weeks ago. Last year I made him a pretty sweet surfing cake, so this year was a challenge to beat it!

This was my creation, a lovely lemon sponge cake sandwiched with jam and butter icing, royal icing outside covered in red, white, blue and light blue stars!

E Voila!

New Blog - New Post

So, I've been meaning to start a Blog for some time now and today is the day! I wanted to find a place that I can share pictures of my lovely cakes and the other crazy things that come into my mind! So here it is! My first post.
