My Best Friend's Wedding

My Best Friend’s Wedding

Ever since my best friend announced her engagement, I was really excited about her big day. I was especially looking forward to it because she gave me some very creative and fun, although slightly nerve-wracking, jobs to do! I love handmade touches to weddings, it makes it so personal and you can tailor the theme...

May Bake It! Club

So, I thought this was going to be a quick and easy recipe but it seems have caused all sorts of problems! We’ve had collapsing cupcakes and failed meringues galore! It is very strange as I’ve tried this recipe many times and home and it has worked every time. The main culprit for the sunken...

May Bake It! Recipe – Lemon Meringue Cupcakes

Sorry, I’m a little (or a lot!) late this month posting the recipe! I hope the lemon meringue cupcake recipe – delicious for these sunny Spring days, will make up for it. There were only a couple of entries into the club again last month so congratulations to Lucy, who I picked randomly as the...

Simple is best

Some days you just don’t want to spend ages decorating fancy cupcakes that children will pick to pieces, so today I decided simple is best. They’re messy but I’m sure they’ll go down well! Perhaps I should pretend the children decorated them? 🙂

A few cakes

Just realised I haven’t blogged any cake pictures for a while, so here are a few I’ve made recently. A 21st birthday cake for one of the staff at Faith’s nursery. A few cupcakes I iced as a demonstration in one of my cupcake classes. Mini cupcakes tower that I donated to the ‘Revealing Experience...

Birthday in the big smoke

A couple of weeks ago it was my birthday. I won’t reveal how old I am, after all, a lady never tells her age, but let’s just say I’m definitely the wrong side of thirty! Our plans for a quiet hotel break using our Tesco Clubcard vouchers were scuppered when I allegedly left it too...

September Bake It! Club

It’s that time of month again where we get to see your yummy creations! I hope you all enjoyed the apple crumble cupcake recipe – it’s certainly become a favourite in our house and is great for using up the glut of apples at this time of year. If you haven’t got round to baking...

Wedding Cakes

Here are a few photos of a couple of wedding cakes I have made recently. The first was for some good friends of ours, which made me extremely nervous as we were invited to the wedding and I had fears of the cake tasting horrible or collapsing! It was really nice to do something a...

September Bake It! recipe – apple crumble cupcakes

Thank you to everyone who joined in with last month’s recipe – lovely to see some new faces too. All the creations looked yummy and there were some great variations involving different chocolate, apples and cinnamon. Congratulations to Sian at Pumpkin and Piglet who the random number generator picked as the winner of the lovely...

Big Bakeoff winner!

Last month I decided to enter English Mum’s Big Bakeoff with my Summer strawberry cupcakes. I watched, with my mouth watering, as the entries poured in. There were some truly wonderful looking cakes and cupcakes, and some brilliant children’s entries. A few weeks back, whilst I was away caring for my Stepmum, I was delighted...

Baby Shower Giant Cupcake

At the weekend it was my sister’s baby shower. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it as I am suffering from a nasty cold and thought it best not to share my germs! However, I did send Dale, the girls and this giant cupcake. It is a vanilla cupcake decorated with vanilla buttercream and sugar paste decorations....
