Fun day

Apologies for being quiet for a couple of weeks but its really busy this end at the moment. I have been lucky enough to be given some free samples from the Cake Decorating Store's new sugar paste collection  http://www.cakedecoratingstore.co.uk/coloured-sugarpaste/

Click the link about to have a look. 

I am currently making lots of wonderful fondant figures with my lovely new sugar paste for a family fun day in September where I have a stall selling cake pops and cupcakes, so keep your eyes peeled for 2 weeks time when I will post pictures of everything I have made and give you my reviews of working with it. 

If you live in the area it would be great to see you there, check out the poster below for the details: 

New York, New York

Okay so its been a very busy couple of weeks -  I have been snowed under making fondant figures for my brothers 21st birthday cake but it turned out pretty good in the end!!

I don't have an edible printer so I sent the signs in to the lovely people at http://www.edibleprints.co.uk who printed them for me and they did a great job.

The fondant figures included:
Statue of Liberty
Tiffanies box
Apple
Hot dog
Big Brown bag
Sex and the city style martini glass
New York cabs
American flag

The New York skyline was cut out by hand from black flower paste.

Exciting news:
The lovely people at http://www.cakedecoratingstore.co.uk/ have asked if I will review some of their new products so keep your eyes open for my future blog posts trying out what they have to offer!

Christening cake

 

A busy weekend spent baking a gorgeous 3 tier christening cake for a very lucky little girl. I particularly enjoyed making the baby blocks.

 

Head over to my Facebook page to check out my competition  - if I manage to get to 50 likes I will pick 1 lucky winner to win a box of 6 cupcakes decorated to their choice of topper and flavour and delivered free in Kent.

 

 

Cowboys and Ice creams

Two very different orders this week a Cowboy themed Fathers day order of 6 cupcakes:

 

I loved making the little cowboy hat and rope.

 

And a nostalgic look back at days gone by, vanilla cupcakes made to look like the Mr Whippy ice creams complete with flake and Oreo cookie flavoured butter cream with Oreo cookie topping - possibly my favourite buttercream flavour so far.

 

A few more orders coming in now via the new website and facebook page - don't forget to check us out and hit the like button.

Harry Potter

As a HUGE Harry Potter fan I thought it was about time that I shared some Harry Potter cupcakes with you all.

From top left - Golden snitch, Hedwig, nimbus 2000 broomstick, Harrys wand and glasses, Sorting hat, Griffindor scarf.


I also had a play with a 6 cupcake series of owl silhouette cupcakes and I am quite chuffed with the way they turned out.

Lastly for this week I made "luggage tag" cookies, thinking ahead these would be great as placemarkers/favours for a wedding or just as a tag to jazz up a birthday present. Tasty yummy aswell.

 

That's all for this week! Happy baking.
