Birthday Party Cupcakes

It was my birthday party on Saturday evening, great fun, lovely weather, wonderful friends, twinkly lights and pretty cupcakes!

Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

Delicious, delicious, delicious!

I finally got round to making these delicious Chocolate Orange Cupcakes today.

A Chocolate sponge with some orange extract and orange zest added.

The buttercream has two small bars of Terrys Chocolate Orange added, along with some Green and Blacks Cocoa powder and orange zest to add depth to the flavours.

A segment from a Terrys Chocolate Orange, (which fortunately left me with half of one to enjoy later!) popped on the top.

Chocolate and Oreo Cupcakes

A rather peculiar aerial view, sorry!

These are some Cupcakes I made this morning for Emily's 8th Birthday.

Five are Oreo Cupcakes, half an oreo baked in the bottom of a chocolate cupcake, with vanilla buttercream stirred into finely crushed oreo biscuits.  Topped with a mini oreo.  They are delicious!

The other 5 are chocolate cupcakes with 70% plain chocolate melted and stirred into the buttercream, the chocolate flavour is gorgeous.  Three are topped with maltesers and two with the fondant pink and purple flowers.

Cupcake Class Saturday 7 May

It was a very humid day on Saturday for making buttercream, but everyone did really well.

The Cupcakes looked lovely, when we had them altogether at the end; "pretty" summed them up, lots of pastel colours, delicate flowers and sprinklings of glitter.

I've got 1 space left on Saturday 18 June and 1 space left on Saturday 9 July.  Both classes are from 2pm - 4pm and cost £50.

Space Cupcakes

These Cupcakes were made for Ben's party at INTECH near Winchester

A Science Centre and Planetarium

The Cupcakes are vanilla with a variety of sugarpaste stars, moons, earths and flying saucers.  Rice paper alien faces, and gummy sweet astronauts, rockets and aliens.  All with a covering of silver balls and glitters.

I also customised a 3 tier cardboard stand with space and planet images, with two stretchy aliens waving from the top!

Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes

A sunny day needs some strawberries and cream cupcakes

A vanilla cupcake with vanilla cream, a fresh strawberry topping and a sprinkling of red sugar

Delicious!

They looked very pretty in their gift box
