Fudge and Toffee Sauce Cupcakes

I made a lovely big batch of fudge and toffee sauce cupcakes today.

Easter Cupcake Class 29 March 2011

 We've just finished today's Easter Chocolate Cupcake Class, whilst the sun was still shining.

We made a delicious Green and Blacks Cocoa Cupcake, with chocolate buttercream icing and vanilla buttercream icing.

We used a new nozzle today to make the green grass and the easter nests, it really gives a great effect.

But my favourite bit is when the little eggs and chicks come out!

Looking forward to seeing those of you coming this Saturday.

Vineyard Wedding Fayre Biscuits

Billions of biscuits!!

Well, 200 glittery pinky ones, made for today's Wedding Fayre at The Vineyard hotel.

Hello, if you came to this blog via the Fayre.

I make Cupcakes for Weddings, birthdays, parties and gifts in my Aga at home (which is registered with West Berkshire council).   I also hold a Level 2 Award in Food Safety, from the Institute of Environmental Health.

There are lots of photographs on the blog, but please contact me for any further information.

I also run classes at Treetops in Newbury, where over 2 hours you can learn to make, bake and decorate your own Cupcakes.  You receive plenty of advice and tips and can enjoy the abundance of sprinkles, decorations and cutters that I have here.

The Goodie Bags are where I come in, I didn't want a sample Cupcake to get crushed with all the lovely things that the Brides will be picking up during the day, so thought biscuits would be ideal.

Come to Easter Cupcake Class

There are some spaces on next week's Easter Cupcakes Class, running from 11am - 1pm.

We will be focussing on chocolate, eggs and chicks!

It will be great fun, come and bake, ice and sprinkle.

Cupcake Class 5 March 2011

Some beautiful cupcakes were made today, we had a full class of six who all made very different and very lovely designs.

Some two-tone swirling was achieved in this box.

Six cupcakes baked and decorated ready to take home.

Thanks for coming everyone, hope to see you at a Stage 2 class later in the year.
