Golden Wedding Anniversary Cupcakes


I made two dozen golden cupcakes for a Golden Wedding Anniversary today.

They were decorated with golden flowers, love hearts, sprinkles, balls, glitter and the couple's initials.

They looked really pretty and sparkly.


Congratulations!

Chocolate Birthday Cupcakes


Happy Birthday Holly, I can't believe your birthday has come around again so quickly!

Holly chose chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and chocolate tops, and her other choice was vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and white chocolate tops!

With lots of glitter.
Enjoy your party

Cupcakes for Christine Scott Interiors


Christine was having another Open Day at her lovely studio, tucked away in the countryside near Newbury, with tea and cakes.

It was a chance to see all the beautiful fabrics, ask for advice and pick up some interior design tips.

And yes, having delivered them I did succumb to some gorgeous warm curtain fabric and a curtain pole!



Home Made Turkish Delight


Having made some Cupcakes recently with the buttercream icing infused with Rosewater, I've not been able to get the thought of Turkish Delight out of my mind.

I found a great recipe in November's copy of Good Housekeeping Magazine, once I'd got over the 700g of caster sugar (!) it was quite easy to follow and I left it to set overnight, and now I have a tin of delicious pink and sparkly (obviously having so much glitter in the house I had to use it) Turkish Delight.

My next step will be to make some more Cupcakes with a small piece of Turkish Delight sitting on the top.  Yum!

A Beautiful day for a Wedding


Congratulations to Georgina and Chris on their Wedding today.

What a perfect sunny day.

The room at Donnington Valley Hotel in Newbury looked gorgeous.

The themes for the Cupcake Tower were vintage colours, flowers, butterflies, berries and it tied in so well with the flowers on the tables.

Congratulations also to Elsie who was being christened today and had her highchair throne at the top table!

A Hot Cupcake Class!


First thing this morning you could tell it was going to be a hot and sunny day!

I love the sunshine coming through the trees in this photograph.

We had a full class for Cupcakes today, I made some raspberry and vanilla cupcakes for our breaktime.  Raspberries picked from the garden, they were inside the cupcake as well as on the top of the pink raspberry icing .... delicious.


Today's Cupcakers did brilliantly because it was ever so hot, I just kept pouring everybody more water!

Here are some of their creations:







We had a boy theme going today, because we were all Mums with boys, not a girl between us!
