Happy Birthday Mia!

A swimming party with cupcakes for tea, just what you need on a boiling hot day.


Charity Cupcakes


These are just a selection of some Cupcakes I made this morning for the Helen and Douglas House Charity Shop in Bartholomew Street, Newbury.

They were having a tea party this afternoon to raise funds for the charity, which provides hospice care for children and young adults. http://www.helenanddouglas.org.uk/

Chocolate Heaven Cupcakes!



It is hard to choose favourites, but I know if someone gave these to me for my birthday, I would be in heaven! Cadburys Dairy Milk, my absolute favourite.

These are made for a young man's 14th birthday. His favourite chocolate is Dairy Milk, so in the Cupcake mixture I used Cadburys Dairy Milk powder, we had some vanilla and also some chocolate icing, topped with a mixture of Dairy Milk chunks, Planets, Maltesers and Aero balls.

Yum!

Pretty Pretty Cupcakes


I made these this morning for a 60th Birthday party treat, 15 of them in various colours, with pretty sprinkles, twinkles and cut out butterflies, love hearts and flowers.

They looked so pretty all boxed up ready to go.

A Hot Cupcake Class!





It really was a Colourful Cupcakes class today, everyone was making different colours of icing and passing them around, so everyone went home with such bright and beautiful boxes of Cupcakes. They were really vibrant.

Despite the heat, all the icings behaved themselves!

Fingers crossed for Wednesday's match.

Cupcake Class 16 June


We had a very successful Cupcake Class today, a full class of six, who all made brilliant Cupcakes. They were all naturals!

Everyone made a different coloured buttercream, so we had purples, vintage pinks, ice blue and peppermint green.

We made lots of different flowers, hearts and butterflies to decorate them with. There were lots of tips flying around as we were decorating. Everyone left very inspired with their boxes of goodies.

I have finally got round to having a little Colourful Cupcakes shop for those hard to find things such as plunger cutters, glitters, regalice and nozzles. Give me a call if there is something you are looking for, you don't need to be at a class to buy.

Colourful Cupcakes



I had a colourful afternoon decorating these cupcakes; I created a lovely orange with my new pastes, one of which is called Melon, and added some orange zest and juice, and they taste so summery and fresh.

I think the purple and orange go brilliantly together, very zingy!




50th Birthday Cupcakes


I did a mixture today of my favourite lime and coconut cupcakes, along with purple themed cupcakes for a 50th Birthday weekend treat.

I made some very pink and girly cupcakes this morning for a 21st Birthday party this evening.

I used pink and white dotty cases along with pink and white butterfly cases.

The vanilla buttercream icing was in pink and white, and occassionally two-tone!

** Happy Birthday to Kelly **

Gorgeous Gluten Free Cupcakes


I've found a simple and delicious gluten free cupcake recipe, I thought the cupcakes may be heavy, but they are so light and on a taste test it would be very hard to tell!

Paul at Kitchenmonger in Newbury found me this lovely cream Cupcake stand today, it holds 22 Cupcakes and gently revolves. His range of Cupcake cases grows each time I go in there!
