Chocolate Caramel Cupcakes

Thanks for all the Warm Wishes for my Birthday.

Yesterday was my turn to celebrate my birthday and once again it was a temperamental August day with freezing cold temperatures.  I made some chocolate cupcakes with a yummy caramel icing and caramel chocolate topping.  Once again I was totally spoilt with lovely goodies and warm wishes from all my friends.  This picture was taken with the cupcakes under 2 cute glass domes, a gift from Tracy, and the fire in the background.  Thanks to everyone for all the brilliant birthday wishes.

Cupcakes with Lipsticks, eyeshadows & slippers

Girls Rule!

These cupcakes were specially made for a Sweet Sixteen pamper birthday party.  It was a new challenge to do something this ‘girly’ and make them funky at the same time so I made lipsticks, eyeshadows, perfume bottles, nail polishes & slippers  in funky girly blues and purples.  All the decorations were made out of sugar paste and I added a sheen finish to the lipsticks and eyeshadows.  As usual I had fun making these cupcakes and loved how the decorations turned out.

Cupcakes with Pink and Lavender butterflies and flowers

Celebrating Women's Day

Wishing all the women everywhere a magnificent day today and enjoy celebrating the fact that you are uniquely you.  To celebrate I am posting my butterfly cupcake display that I did for the Benvenuto Women’s Day Breakfast on Friday morning.  Women from different businesses were invited to spend an amazing morning at Benvenuto (www.benvenuto.co.za) where they enjoyed a delicious breakfast, different talks and displays and were able to network in the beautiful surrounds of Benvenuto.  I was so excited to take part in the morning and once again have the opportunity to show off my cupcakes.  I love the fact that Benvenuto aim is to delight their guests and mine is to delight with my cupcakes.

Cupcakes with fondant pot decoration

Gourmet Gadgets Cupcake

My friend Ivana celebrated her birthday on Thursday and I wanted to make cupcakes for her.  She has a passion for cooking and anything to do with food and she sells in the Tool Shop the most brilliant Staub cooking pots in the most delicious colours.  No excuse for not wanting to cook every night with these gorgeous pots.  Here is one of the cupcakes photographed with the cutest of the Staub pots.   I made little pots for the top of the cupcakes in the colours of  some of the Staub pots.

Chinese Themed Cupcakes

China here we come!

These cupcakes were inspired by a farewell party for a couple going on holiday to China.  I thought these cupcakes would capture the mood of a Chinese holiday perfectly.  Again I did some google research for ideas and made these cute Chinese lanterns and fans.

Oodles of Noodles

My son had the brilliant idea of a bowl of noodles and chopsticks so I made little black bowls of noodles and then iced the rest of the cupcakes to make them look like a big bowlsof noodles.  I used toothpicks for the chopsticks and cut them in half for the chopsticks on the small bowls.
