Rustic Vanilla Cupcakes

These were made in a hurry to satisfiy Gary, my nephew, in case he didn't like carrot cake which he didn't!!  Just a simple vanilla cupcake recipe covered with left over cream cheese icing and filled with strawberry jam. 
Only critisism I received from Gary was that the mini cakes needed more balls!  Sorry I'll sort that for next time x

Carrot Cupcakes

These were made for my future sister in-law, she's a big carrot cake fan!  Recipe I used for the Carrot Cake was from Rachel Allen, Bake, got the cream cheese recipe from Eat!  Topped with sugarpaste carrots. 
Tried two icing techniques, think I prefer the zig zag one.
