More Cup Cakes!- My Mum's 50th!

Just a brief blog. Here is one of the cup cakes baked for my Mum's 50th birthday. My Mum and Dad came over to Manchester for the weekend. I'll be bloggng more about it later!

Cup Cakes Galore!- My first Attempt!

I was up bright and early to to get all the bits needed to make some cup cakes. I have been looking longingly at some of the cup cakes people make and have been dying to have a go! I went along to my local market to buy a piping bag and other bits and the man on the cook wear stall said they are also opening a shop dedicated to cake making, so I'm very excited about that!



For these I followed Laura Sparling's recipe for Vanilla Cup cakes and made up my own design for the toppings! Of course the frosting had to be bright pink! I'm fairly pleased with the results!

Easter Gift!

As I'm watching my figure I asked Mark to buy me this book instead of an egg for Easter. There seems to be cup cakes every where at the moment, and I want to get in on the act! Inspired by Laura Sparling's wonderful creations (Laura how come you are so good at making absolutely everything?) I thought it was about time I had a go at making my own. This book has lots and lots of recipes and ideas!

I'm hoping to get started next week as I have a couple of days off. Lets hope I'm not then tempted to eat them all!
