Butterflies & flowers

The combination of butterflies, roses and blossoms make these cupcakes beautiful in the pastel colours. I love making pretty ones!

Cornish pasties

For some savoury snacks I made up some traditional Cornish pasties. I added some more veggies in so they ended up with beef, onion, swede, potato, peas and carrots in. The pastry was lovely, flakey and melt in the mouth.

Chocolate & marshmallow muffins

Chocolate muffins with chocolate chips and marshmallows, making the centre lovely and gooey.

Blueberry muffins

With a crunchy sugary topping these are a great treat for breakfast

Pink and chocolate cupcakes

Coloured sponge is the way forward!

Rose cupcakes

It's been a while since I decorated some 'grown up' cupcakes but I think these do the job. I always love the combination of sage green, pale pink and ivory.

Chocolate floral cupcakes

I didn't want my latest batch of double chocolate cupcakes to look too dreary so I sprused them up with these pink and ivory flowers.

Pink & purple cupcakes

I thought it was about time I made some pretty cupcakes. I love these coloured cases so I went for something in keeping with the decoration.

Giant cupcake

My brother bought me one of the giant cupcake tins for Christmas so I had to try it out. (There's also the new cake slice in this pic that I got as a Christmas gift from friends that clearly know m well!)

Scuba diving cake

My Dad turned 60 last week so I made this one for him.

Another In the Night Garden cake

I was asked to do another In the Night Garden birthday cake, but this time for a little girl. It's still bright and colourful, but a bit with a few more pastel shades and I went for the bandstand as a feature.

Minnie Mouse cake

Also celebrating their first birthday this week were my friends twin girls. They (& their mum) love Minnie Mouse so I set to work on making them something suitable. Hopefully this did the trick!

Christmas cake

I thought I'd do something a bit different for the family christmas cake this year. I went for this snow covered house with Santa Claus stuck in the chimney.

In the Night Garden Cake

A friends little boy turned 1 this week so it seemed fitting that Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and the Ninky Nonk helped him celebrate.
