Vegan Cupcakes

I can't believe how delicious these vegan cupcakes were, I say were, because they didn't hang around for long!

They were gluten free, dairy free and egg free.

A new addition to Colourful Cupcake's offerings, I also make gluten free cupcakes to order too.

The Making of Nicola's Wedding Cupcakes

Today started very early with the baking of 130 Vanilla Cupcakes and 12 gluten free vanilla cupcakes for Nicola's Wedding.

Nicola has been to both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Cupcake classes, and despite everything that needed doing today, she was determined to come and decorate her wedding cupcakes!

I prepared all the different coloured icings; flavoured with fresh orange juice and zest, vanilla, blueberry, raspberry and rosewater, all coloured in pale vintage coloured colours and got swirling.

Nicola and her friends arrived, I handed over the iced cupcakes and they set to work decorating the cupcakes, whilst also eating some, obviously!

In the Stage 2 class we make the petalled flowers, and Nicola's looked fantastic today, made in pink and peach.

There were high swirls and low swirls and flat iced cupcakes, a real variety today.

And as the bride herself needed the gluten free cupcakes, I made the blue icing for "her something blue" and I thought they looked stunning with the little flowers that her and her Mum had made.

I can't wait to see the photographs of them set up on the cake stand tower at Donnington Grove Hotel.

I hope you have a great time!
