Summer strawberry cupcakes
I love all the fruit that is around this time of year and strawberries are my absolute favourite. I’ve wanted to try these cupcakes for a while so when I saw English Mum was hosting a Big Bakeoff, I thought I’d use them as my entry. These are vanilla cupcakes with a fresh strawberry in...

Cakes for Haiti

Rabbit Cake
This cake was ordered by a friend of a friend after she saw my teddy cake on Facebook. When she phoned, she asked if she could have a rabbit instead of a teddy. I panicked slightly inside as the teddy had been baked in a teddy shaped tin and I don’t have a rabbit...
