Cupcakes for a Writer

Justin turned 18 recently and as he is a keen writer I made sugar paste J’s stamped with text and popped them onto an embossed disc. For the sugar paste pages I used a small page with text stamp and stamped with edible colouring onto white sugar paste. I cut out the pages and then left them to dry slightly wavy to give them some shape and character. I hope you enjoyed your 18th birthday Justin!Justin's 18th Birthday CupcakesJustin's 18th Birthday Cupcakes

Cupcakes in A Jar, Pink & White Flowers

It is definitely wedding season with loads of requests for bridal shower cupcakes this summer. These pretty pastel pink and white flower cupcakes in a jar were the perfect addition to this beautiful table setting and bridal shower planned by Zanele. I love taking loads of photos of my client’s cupcakes before they are collected and it is seldom that I see them in action at the celebrations they were created for. Thank you Zanele for another order and for sending me such beautiful photos of your table setting at Blandford Manor with a cupcake gracing each place setting.

Cupcakes in a Jar

Cupcakes in a JarThese cute Cupcakes in a Jar were especially ordered by Zanele for Khanyi. It was a great idea of Zanele’s to have each cupcake spell out a letter of Khanyi’s name.  I piped vanilla buttercream into the bottom of each jar then added a red velvet cupcake topped with blue and red pearls, blossoms and an initial.  These cupcakes were definitely Happiness in a Jar!

50th Birthday Cupcakes

50th Birthday Cupcakes for a Female50th Birthday Cupcakes for a FemaleEunice wanted to surprise her sister, Ruth, with cupcakes for her 50th Birthday as she was not going to be in South Africa to celebrate with her sister. I was so pleased that Eunice first took the time to call me from overseas and then followed through with a couple of emails with the ideas she had in mind for the cupcake toppers.

Ruth must be really fun as the cupcake toppers included flowers, coffee cups, chocolate bars, gym bags and skipping ropes, travelling bags, books, lipsticks, hiking boots, tents, sleeping bags and of course her bucket list.

Pearl Figurine Class with Vicci!

Mermaid Figurine CakePearl Figurine Class with VicciThe Pearl Figurine class with Vicci of Victoria Bean Bakery was a class Vicci gave earlier this year. I have this figurine in my display cabinet and she fills me with delight every time I see her as she has the sweetest and most innocent face and sitting on her rock she looks like she has not a care in the world! Not only is it always a pleasure to learn new skills from such an awesome teacher but it is loads of fun meeting other decorators and sharing different ideas and experiences with each other. Thank you Vicci for yet another awesome class!
