FLAMIN’ GOOD CUPCAKES

Sizzling Hot Cupcakes

Ok we celebrated the cold with Winter Wonderland Cupcakes so I thought it was time to heat things up a little.  I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for an order.  The theme was Fire so I made different size yellow, orange and red flames which I glittered for added effect.  Luckily my little leaf cutter came in handy here again, it is amazing how many themes I have decorated with this leaf cutter.

The result was gorgeous cupcakes that would have any party sizzling even on the coldest day this winter!

 

Play Your Cards Right!

Monte Carlo Cupcakes

Feeling Lucky!

I was asked to make Monte Carlo themed cupcakes recently for a display.  Quite a challenge but I ended up having so much fun making Monte Carlo inspired playing cards, dice and casino chips.  The colour scheme was black, red and white and the cupcakes were a hit.

HINT: I made playing cards in different sizes and then used little icing hearts to complete the cards.  They are easy to stick on with Tylose which is an edible glue.

WINTER MILO CUPCAKES

Winter Milo Cupcakes

Thanks to Wendy I now have an awesome new cupcake blog and in keeping with my idea of making this a cupcake blog with the inspiration behind them here goes.  We tried out my new idea for Winter Milo Cupcakes on Friday.  I had simply added milo powder to my vanilla recipe and to the vanilla icing. The results were a delicious cupcake that looked light chocolatey but didn’t smack of milo.  I will have to try these again and will add the milo chocolate bar this time for taste.  Only challenge will be to see if the milo bar lasts long enough to get into the bowl before it is eaten.  Maybe I will have to buy 2 …. or more…..
