Ice cream anyone? Well nearly!

Hello everyone :)

Here's some pictures of cupcakes i made at the weekend for mothers day. I've seen these a couple of times on American blogs, and thought i'd have a go. You just put your normal cake mixture into ice cream cornets and cook them just as you would in cases. It's very clever. I think they'd be fab for summer birthday parties :)

Thanks for looking, I'll be back soon... promise!

Rainbow cupcakes

Hello lovelys

Here's a couple of piccies of some cupcakes i made the other day for when mum had some friends over. I made them with a new mini cake tin which Dad got me for christmas, and they're sooo cute! Only 3.5cm accross. Awww :)

The cake is just plain vanilla, with vanilla butter-cream, but the cupcake inside is multi-coloured in the same colours as the spots on the cases :)

Thanks for looking!

I'll be back soon with a card :)

My truth + info about the daisy cutter + more cupcakes!

Hi again!

I've had so many comments and emails about the daisy cutter i used on my cupcakes the other day, so i thought i'd do a post and tell you all where it's from. I bought mine from a lovely little cooking shop, but i've found the same one on lots of websites including this one...

http://www.surbitonart.co.uk/acatalog/Sugarcraft_Catalogue_PME_Cutter_210.html

You'll have to scroll almost to the bottom, and you'll see it. I think mine's the medium one, but i'm not 100% sure. I've never ordered from here, so can't tell you about delivery or anything.

Now i'm going to reveal my truth from the award last week. And the truth is...

No.4 - My Dad lives on a boat, works in a chocolate factory and i can have free chocolate when ever i want

Ok, so it sounds more little kids dream than it actually is. But it is true :) He lives on a canal boat, and works as an early morning cleaner at the factory. Staff can take as much chocolate as they want, because they get so sick of it they don't want much. But i do! lol

Now i'll leave you with another cupcake picture. They're a bit dodgy, so don't look too close!

Thanks for looking

hehehe more cupcakes...

Hey!

Sorry for another cupcake post today. It's my new obsession hehe.

This morning, Mum and me went to the little cooking shop in town to buy a new spatula. About 3/4 of an hour later, we came out with a spice rack, some fancy napkins, a daisy cutter, and a piping bag nozzle and no spatula! They didn't have what we wanted, but y'know :)

Anyways...i've made big and little cupcakes/buns/fairy cakes (lol) this time, and piped blue buttercream on, then put a daisy on top and sprinkled with glitter. I ran out of icing sugar half way through, so some just have a little bit on :)

Here's some piccies of making the daisies. The cutter's amazing! It cuts and kind of embosses them at the same time :) Then i coloured the middles with yellow food colouring.

Thanks for looking

Been baking...

Hiya lovely bloggers!

Well, todays post is a bit different from normal! But because i still havn't made a right lot,crafty wise, i thought i'd show you some cupcakes i made this afternoon :)

Mum gave me an icing bag for christmas, and i havn't used it much yet, so have been having a play. They have edible glitter on too, but you can't really see it on the pictures. Oh...and by the way...there was 12, but some didn't make it to the decorating stage lol

Thanks for stopping by!
