Turtle Cupcake Cake

Hey! Here are the pics as promised for the Nims' Island Turtle Cake! Elle had a blast making it, we got v messy with the frosting, and we really enjoyed making the baby turtles!

It's been a while!

WOW!!! I cannot believe I have been sooooooo lazy with my blog! The cakes are still being baked, but I find myself in a bit of a rut. So, I am determined to start over and create some new delish cuppies, with amazin' decor! Stay tuned...

Hey! long time no cupcakes!

Dear friends

It has been way too long since I last posted something! Needless to say the bakery has not been churning out anything special, only the standard vanilla for the studio parties.

Yesterday however, I made some beach themed cupcakes for my mate H's little girl Abs, they went down a storm! Also made carrot cupcakes and they all went too! Enjoy the pics, promise to blog soon!

Cheetah Party!

Albeit 2 months late, we finally had FH2's bday party yesterday in the theme of Cheetah Girls! As I already bake the cupcakes for the studio, all the girls had to do was frost them with choc or vanilla icing then add 'cheetah spots' - reese's pieces. V cool! Had a blast and the girls enjoyed the cakes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR #2

Dear friends
Apologies for no blog updates of late, has all been a bit mad this side of the pond. But, nonetheless, the old cake tins will be a-working on Saturday, as I am catering my friend Carla's daughters' birthday - 2 dozen vanillas with pink and green icing! Am going to add ribbon in the same colours, and as the little one is turning 3, I have bought her a tiara, to go along with the cupcakes....geddit? cupcakes & tiaras??? I crack myself up.....
Will post pics asap.
Happy New Year to your bun tins!

Blue flamed candle!!

Here is a pic of the blue-flames candle, well fab! Hope you can see the colour. Cupcakes went down a treat!

Very spesh birthday cupcakes!

Tomorrow is FH1's 10th birthday! Cannot believe it! Anyhoo, have baked very spesh blue cupcakes for sleepover tonite. Have added extra 'pizzazz' to her own cake, and we have spesh candles that have coloured flames! HOW FAB IS THAT??!! So there will be a blue flame on that one. Brilliant!

Also made some more cocktails for the Halloween party that is coming up, a "Vamptini" (which is like the Maretini but with grenadine to look like blood at the bottom of the glass) and the green 'Toxic Waste".. both delish and had a bit of a fuzzy head this morning, all in the name of fun....

luv ya

I can't believe I have been blogging for a whole year!!! Many cupcakes have been baked & eaten in the process, and it's been fun. Today I have made brownies, as I feel I need some chocolate therapy!

Keep the comments coming, I love to read all your thoughts.

'Nother Cocktail!!

Here is a pic of a delish new cocktail we are making for my good mate M's surprise 40th birthday tomorrow - it is called a Watermelon Smash but we are calling it a 'Mare-tini" (those in the know will realize the name) . It's made from pureed watermelon, fresh lime juice, triple sec, absolute citron, shaken with ice...v yum and I enjoyed 2 of them in the "research area" of the martinis' developement!!

A Lotti Biscotti

As a special treat for Fairy Helper #2, I am making biscotti today. The FH's started back at school this week, and all was well until last night when FH#2 decided she didn't want to go to school anymore as it's "too long". So after a few tears I asked what I could get her for when she gets off the bus ( thinking quick trip tp Target etc) she repiled "Biscotti Mommy, with a cup of tea to dunk in." How sweet was that?!! So currently baking is some delish lemon biscotti, just for FH#2. I will have the kettle on at 4 o'clock.....

Here's a pic of the Victoria sponge I made today with the assistance of my youngest Fairy helper Blueberry Muffin. She helped mix the batter and put the jam & buttercream icing in the middle. Needless to say it's going down rather well!
