Disco Party Cupcakes

Now 13 Disco Cupcakes

The challenge last weekend was to make Disco Party cupcakes for Nicole who was turning 13. Given free reign I chose music notes and pink guitars for the cupcakes and added a Now 13 cupcake topper on some of the cupcakes (thanks to my son Teigh I always have help for anything I need to do on the computer – how is it that our kids really do know more than us when it comes to electronics?). I sourced a beautiful stand (a wedding cupcake stand) from In Good Company in Rivonia and then stacked the 40 cupcakes on it finishing it off with a Now 13 CD cover on the top. It looked really cool on the party table and it was fun to see the kids going home with a cupcake each.

: Success with Milo Cupcake

Iced the cupcakes shown in previous post with a butter and cream cheese icing to which I added Milo cereal ground down to powder cosistency (with my brilliant Bamix from the Tool Shop – thanks Ivana for your new business and all your great gadgets and goodies). I also added a bar of melted Milo chocolate to the icing.

Iced the cupcakes and then sprinkled with Milo powder and finished with a block of Milo chocolate and the result….Lip smackingly delicious!

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…..
