These are the cakes I did yesterday! Loving the colour.

Blue Door was pretty good price think it was £3, I ordered 3 of the embossing mats and their cupcake cases because they are the best I have used so it made it worth the £3

OMG. I am going to the Annual Cake Decorating, Chocolate and Sugarcraft event its not til March but I am so excited already, they do mini classes on decorating and making chocolate also, you have to pay extra so I better start saving now as well as stalls and free gifts. I cant wait. Its in Farnham and is hosted by Squires Kitchen
I booked my tickets for the Friday as my mum works on Saturdays only and then when I was flicking through none other than the amazing Peggy Porschen is opening... never been so excited before in my life.

Hi girls, I am always reading in here and your cakes are always magnificinet. I have been in a baking frenzy the last few days. I am doing a Peppa Pig cake (which is made and covered but not decorated yet), 2 batches of cupcakes, one with homemade Peppa Pig toppers and my first attempt at cake pops! I will upload photos when they are all finished.

I have a question though, tonight when I did my cupcakes, after they ahd cooled, the cupcake cases had almost entirely peeled away from the cake. I bought decent cases (from cakecraft or the like) - any ideas why?

 

[Laura2919]

Did you air them properly? I find when I push mine together to cool them they come away and it also can be your mixture, if it is too wet it can make them come away too.

 

[Shiv]

I spread them out on a cooling rack to cool and the mixture seemed as normal - who knows but I had to use a ton of buttercream to try to stick them back down!

 

[Laura2919]

Were they the first time you used the cases?

I used to use culpitt cases and I have loads of them in my cupboard but I started using some other ones from Ebay and they are really good so when I went back to use the culpitt they came away, I put them close together to cool and then once cooled I boxed them before I iced them because I didnt ice them til the morning.

 

[Blob]

Aaah I need to get my ass moving I have a ton of cupcakes to make for tomorrow and I need to go to the shops

 

[Laura2919]

Me too blob.

I have 60 to make for a birthday party, 12 to make for a friends SIL and 4 for a new baby boy.
Busy tonight lol.

 

[Blob]

I was meant to be going out cannot face another late night tho

 

[Laura2919]

I'm like that! I'd rather be indoors!

I find if I slightly over bake my cupcakes they peel away from the cases, had they been baked a little too long or high? Only take the odd minute and it could be game over!

You can get cases that are like cups, they dont move in shape. I cant use them to be honest, so have to make sure my timing is spot on xx

 

[CocoaOne]

Some of my cases do that Shiv - I think the mixture is too wet though. I like to use the Hummingbird cupcake recipe as I prefer the taste (so did 5 out of 7 of my colleagues - they love taste-test days! lol) The hummingbird mixture is really wet, so I think that's my problem.

Laura - gorgeous cupcakes, as always. Your molds are fab, and I love the colour combination.

Here are the two cakes I've made for this weekend: (spoiler because the pics are huge!)
