Hola!

My friend had a Mexican themed dinner party so i made some cupcakes for the dessert. Just as well as it turned out this dinner party consisted of just alcohol and no food - needless to say these cupcakes went down a treat!

Sausage Dog Bourbon Biscuits

I was given the Primrose Bakery recipe book by 2 of my friends. The first page I opened up was of Sausage Dog biscuits. I have a slight obsession with the little dogs and so this was very exciting. As soon as I'd managed to track down a cookie cutter in the shape of a dachshund I made these cookies. Everyone thought they were amazing!

Cupcakes

LOVE cup cakes

A friend's birthday is near to Valentines Day so I decided to use this theme for some cupcakes for her. These were really simple, vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream. For the decoration I used a small meringue and heart jelly sweet. I was extremely happy with the outcome and the birthday girl loved them. 

too!

Bea Cakes!

So in the Summer I had a very belated birthday BBQ. I got loads of family and friends together, mixed in loads of cocktails and wine, a couple of 'party tents' and an array of food....and then I had a great idea to make 50 odd 'bea cakes' or bee cakepops! In theory, they were very simple to make. make a few chocolate cakes and as soon as they were baked I completely destroyed them, turning the cakes to crumbs. Mix in chocolate icing and make small balls, then put a lolly pop stick in each cake pop. I then put them in the fridge over night to firm. Then I melted white chocolate in a bowl, in another bowl put orange and yellow sprinkles, a black icing pen and chocolate button wings at the ready and prepared a polystyrene box covered in tin foil. Lastly, I found 2 helpers and the construction line began. Once all the pops had been dunked, sprinkled, iced, winged and placed in the polystyrene, I put them back in the fridge to firm again. By the end of the process, my helpers had left - they couldn't cope with the fiddlyness of it all! But everyone LOVED the end result and they looked great at the BBQ.
