I made these cakes for our Nanny’s dad to take into work and share with his colleagues.
I think they went down quite well! I had a bit left over so I did a few minis as well. Perfect bite size cakes!

Last night I made a few cupcakes for work as I was going to a training session on our Compete For web portal which allows a transparent process with equal opportunity for all businesses to register their intereste in bidding for services and goods opportunities. I made these cupcakes as they were offering some nasty synthetic doughnuts to tempt people to come to a session. The dognuts(!) put me off..
Here’s naked cupcakes and fondant iced cupcakes ready for their toppings.
Here’s some of the left over sugarpaste made into flowers.
And here’s the Compete For log in sugarpaste! They went down well and hopefully I’ll be invited to make some more!
This week I have been off recovering from a small operation which involved some stitches and recovery has been easier standing up than sitting….so, what else to do but bake in between resting of course.
Next…One of our friends was having a birthday party for her 3 year old daughter and I offered to make some cupcakes for the party. There was a sport theme but I didn’t rise to the challenge of making sports day equipment in sugarpaste! It was slightly easier to make lovely girlie coloured toppings and icings.
Next….and finally Pirates and Princess cupcakes for Maddie’s 4th Birthday party on Saturday. We’ve all been partied out this weekend and had a great time. I really enjoyed making these cakes with thanks to all the inspiration from Flickr and Blogs on what pirate faces look like and how I could make them. It was labour intensive but lots of fun.
The princess cakes were simple with jewel encrusted glittery crowns and a range of flowers. Pirate faces along side coins, hooks and anchors were displayed on the other stand which gave it a retro 60s feel! All went down very well and I’m very happy that I did a children’s themed party…
Next week a wedding taster box and a couple of dozen cakes for some lucky teachers….
