Butterflies and Babies.

This is my most recent cake i have just finished, a pink butterfly cake for a little girls 6th birthday.

Also to accompany the cake were 20 cupcakes with light pink, dark pink and lilac icing butterflies on top.

Yesterday i also made some baby cupcakes for someone who is expecting a little boy.....these little cuties are guaranteed to get a smile. 3 cupcakes were decorated to look like little baby boy faces and 3 were decorated with a piped swirl of buttercream and small baby feet.


Below the baby themed cupcakes are shown in one of my new cupcake boxes. Although these boxes are not very cost effective (in my opinion) i love them all the same.

Baking overdrive.

Don't you just love that feeling when you go into baking overdrive.....i do.

Well at the weekend it was my husbands birthday and as he is a Guinness lover, what better cake to make him than a scrummy totally yummy Guinness chocolate cake. This cake by the way has to be the most moist and delicious cake i have ever tasted in my life........no honest....really it was!

and you know that you can't have chocolate Guinness cake without Guinness chocolate cupcakes to accompany it. These were also extremely moist and as with the cake even the buttercream had some Guinness in it.


As it was bank holiday weekend, the nice weather brought about a family get together and of course a BBQ. I was on dessert duty so i decided to make a selection......first i made a summer berry cheesecake, some home made jam tarts for the kids, about 30+ cupcakes (some were just plain and some had a lemon topping) and lastly i made some Belgium chocolate tarts. These were not just any Belgium chocolate tarts but were topped with chocolate curls and i also made some white chocolate cherubs to go on top of the chocolate tarts, which finished them off perfectly.
