So i made chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and vanilla cupcakes with choc buttercream.

The big cake is vanilla with jam and buttercream. I did all the stars myself but cheated and bought the plaque from ebay (didn't feel confident enough to try it myself!)

Little bit bumpy but I'm happy!

Excited for tomorrow now x

Cass - I went to that cake shop near B&Q before! Bought a few cupcake decs and pretty cases. I didn't really know what I was going for though lol, just a look I guess. You'll never guess what I did though... walked into the warehouse thinking it was the shop thought it was a bit strange the way it was set out lol, then a man came & asked me what I was doing had Lola in the pram & everything walking through the blimmin warehouse!!! I am SUCH an idiot.

^ I want one of those rolo cupcakes they look good!

awwww that bear looks so cool on that cake its brill..

and nice cake bertie.. similar to mylos theme for his christening next week..

His birthday monday so i have been slaving over my first ever birthday cake for him tonight.

I am semi happy how it turned out but it cold be better. I havent got an alphabet cutters set to make my writing professional looking.. and I tried to pipe round the cake base but it was just too runny after i had added green food colouring.
its sponge with a thick layer of betty croc choc buttercream in the middle, and i crumb coated in it too so the icing would stick better. its gonna be so sickly but yum!
i used ready to roll white icing and painted on the green food coloring with my pastry brush! trouble is its not drying just staying tacky to the touch.
oh well..

and makka pakka and upsy daisy got scrapped cos there wasnt going to be enough room! lol

Sorry for all the above quotes

Well i'm going to attempt a cake today, just plain lemon i think to see what i can actually do as i have one to do for next sat.

the 50 cupcakes have been cancelled, granny was getting a huff on as she usually does baking or something so that is 1 less pressure, just glad i hadn't ordered bits and bobs and a bit as i could have done with the £££ withme being ioff work but hey ho!

 

[Glitterfairy]

Wonderful cakes ladies.
Love those roses Jac. x

 

[craftymum]

All your cakes are Fab ladies! Jac that is so lovely, you really are very talented!
Here's a link to my first attempts with fondant, nowhere near as good as the cakes you ladies come up with but I'm pretty happy with it for a first go
