Pretty in Pink


I've been busy coming up with some new designs available to order and will upload them as soon as I can.

Here are some cupcakes I created for a pink theme, which can be ordered in any colour scheme.

There are three different designs that compliment each other nicely. They feature soft shimmery sugar pearls which give them a lovely classy vintage effect, making them perfect for any event whether it be birthdays, weddings, engagements or mother's day.
The pearls are soft so no teeth will be broken unlike the old silver balls you used to get that were more like jaw breakers!

Each cupcake is topped with a thin layer of butter cream then covered with a disc of fondant before being decorated.

Each sugar pearl was painstakingly stuck on with edible glue one by one! But the end  result is worth it. The cupcake above is finished with an edible sugar rose and leaf dusted with a shimmery lustre.



This cake was topped with sugar blossoms and decorated round the edge with sparkly pink sugar crystals which gives the fondant a nice crunch.



 A bouquet of edible roses inspired by the book Bake me I'm yours cupcake love.

Cornish Themed Cakes



Here are the Cornish themed cupcakes I managed to whip up for St Pirans day.

They were vanilla cupcakes topped with chocolate chip cookie frosting. The Cornish flags and little pasties were made from modelling paste, so everything was edible.
Enjoy!

Happy St. Piran's Day and a Birthday Cake


It's St. Piran's Day here in Cornwall! Like we need an excuse to eat a pasty!
For those that don't know St. Piran is the Patron Saint for tin miners, after - it is said that he rediscovered smelting.

I had planed on making some St. Piran themed cakes but haven't had chance yet. So in true Blue Peter fashion heres some cakes I made earlier.

This cake was for a teenage girls birthday. It was a vanilla and chocolate layer cake with cookies and cream filling.



 
These cupcakes were for another birthday party. I made chocolate cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream covered with strawberry curls, and vanilla cupcakes with fondant toppers.



Lastly I was asked to make some cupcakes for a local fundraiser, they were raising money for St Lukes Hospice.

Doughnut Cake





 I recently made an 18th Birthday Doughnut cake for a real doughnut lover. It was a vanilla sponge covered with fondant and painted to look like a real doughnut.
I baked vanilla cupcakes with a white chocolate ganache coloured pink, and also chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate frosting topped with mini doughnuts.
