I'd had a go at making my own coloured sugar too, it's really easy and I quite like the effect it gave

They look yummy, Emmy. Are they just normal cupcakes with cheesecake stuff on top or cheesecakes?

Sounds delicious. I didn't realise that you had made the box yourself. It looks really professional. Sorry, to be dim, but what do you mean by cheesecake stuff on top? What sort of frosting is it?

 

[Emmy1987]

It was supposed to be cream cheese frosting but I didn't have the cheese bit lol so I used white chocolate and milk buttercream which I think tastes nicer (but I don't like cream cheese frosting ) with a digestive crumbled all over.

I'm practising my bows as they sometimes end up looking like they were mauled by a dog

The frosting sounds nice. Does the white chocolate and milk buttercream make it less sweet than cream cheese frosting then?

at your bow sometimes looking like a dog had them...
