Do you think the oreo topping might work with gingernut biccies, with mild ginger cupcakes? I had a ginger bread man yesterday and it got me thinking!

 

[nuttymummy]

LOL its addictive the flavour testing isnt it!?? LOL

i bet the ginger cupcakes with a dark treacle buttercream would be nice

 

[Glitterfairy]

Oooh yeah ginger ones might work nicely!

My Dad loves ginger and i made him a gingernut tray bake awhile age with dark chocolate and he loved it!

 

[Vici]

Wow, your cupcakes look fab hun Excellent first try - dreading my go now as i best mine will just look like a blob!!

Jo - i've used that sugar packet sponge recipe for a while now - its fab isn't it

 

[pinkmummy]

Know what I think would be deliiiiiiiicious.. ginger cupcakes and lime frosting! MMMM. I make a key lime pie with gingernuts instead of digestive base and its to die for.

We should think up some new flavour combos.. I'm getting bored of vanilla, choc and lemon. lol.

You could just spoon it on and smooth it like a frosting.

ewwww coca cola icing! Dont think I'd like that.

I'm itching to bake again... The FILS b day cake lily decorated went down well, it was sooooo lovely and soft and fluffy and tasted beautiful! Just a coconut cake with coconut syrup and buttercream in, iced in white, they were suitably impressed!

I 'm making a subaru cake on tuesday for ants friend...Ive hired a car tin for £2 so will have the basic shell, so that to do and prepare butterlies this week for my easter cake...!

Are we all doing easter cakes?

 

[Glitterfairy]

Hi :wave: ladies, I've just found this thread earlier today and read about the last 20 pages. So some of you do it professionally? I just dabble with baking but my pleasure just now it cupcakes. I've started to give them as gifts. I feel it's an nice touch. Here are the latest ones I've done for a friend who just had a baby girl. I have the Primrose Hill Bakery book and I love the couple of recipes I've done so far and I love the cream cheese icing however I would really like to know how you get the topping/icing to look really light and fluffy looking (sorry can't remember user name) like the last purple icing was.

Anyway he're's my latest attempt. Oh and it's this great, on BnB and not talking about ttc!

 

[Glitterfairy]

They are adorable! So lovely.

Where did you get the decorations toppers from? Could really do with some of those in blue! xxx

 

[Wallie]
