AHOY! Nautical Themed Cupcakes

 I was asked by my friend Alistair to make cupcakes for his nautical themed 30th birthday party.  I was thrilled as I love cupcakes and all things nautical!  Just a simple vanilla sponge filled with strawberry jam, and topped with things like life rings, boats, lighthouses and anchors!

Baking Backlog Post

Been super lazy with blogging my baked goods so here's a little look at what I've made over the last few months..

Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Loaves
Russian Doll Cookie (which was a gift to my friend Stephanie, she's had it on her desk for 4 months!! ew)
Lemon Layer Cake for Mother's Day
Coffee Cupcakes
Designer Shoe and Handbag Cupcakes

Tatty Devine Cupcakes

My bestest friend Stephanie turns 30 on Sunday 1^st April and because of her passion for Tatty Devine jewellery I decided to recreate some key pieces on cupcakes!  She chose the flavour, parma violet icing and vanilla sponge.  She was thrilled with them!!   

The dog is Mason, a birthday gift from Mark and Jason (get it??)

Iggle Piggle Cupcakes (and Luigi)

Got the call from my sister-in-law to make Iggle Piggle cupcakes for my nephew Ben's birthday.  Once I figured out who this was I decided the head was the easiest thing to make.  I decided to add in one special Luigi cupcake for Ben's brother Gary.  I prefer Luigi to Iggle Piggle.

Baking Backlog!

Not posted anything in soo long, way back in September.  It's not that I haven't been baking, I've just been lazy about posting.  So here's a montage of a few baking treats and in future I will be updating regulary from now on..

Strawberry & Rose Cupcakes

These are delicious strawberry flavoured cupcakes and rose flavoured butter icing.  Don't they look pretty!  Just looks like the cake in my logo.  Think next time I'll use vanilla buttercream, the rose was a bit much with the strawberry.

Cupcake Stall

Got the fantastic opportunity to sell my wares at the Say No To Plastic vintage sale. Lovely Lisa from my work organised it and very kindly asked me if I would like a stall.
It was a great day and we sold out early! I had great helpers in the form of my mum and my bff Stephanie. They were brilliant!
Also a shout out to Mark for designing my new logo.
Cupcakes were:
Cocoa Chanel (choc)
Simply the Zest (lemon)
Mr Whippy (vanilla cones)
You Can't Catch Me (gingerbread)
Carat Gold (carrot cake)
Say Yes to Cupcakes (vanilla to go with the theme)

T in the Park

A little thank you gift for my bosses! They treated staff to a ticket to T in the Park.
Had a fantastic day!
