Some of the cakes from this week's stall - these are a mixture of chocolate and Oreo cookie cupcakes. One of the most popular flavours in recent weeks has been chocolate (hand chopped up chunks of dark chocolate yummy) and banana. Next week I'm going to do peanut butter, chocolate and banana - in other words the Elvis cupcake! I went to the garage in Barton, which has American sweets and goodies, and bought some Reece's pieces to sprinkle over them - should be pretty good :))

I'm also going to make some sticky toffee pudding cupcakes with caramel sauce, that's what you need on a cold winter's day! I'll post the photos next week.

We went to see friends in Devon last weekend and made 2 batches of cupcakes which we all decorated together. It was really good fun, everyone joining in and covering the house with sprinkles! These are 2 which we liked best - this is the nickname of the birthday boy, immature but funny :) so we had to write it on his cakes..

These are some of the lovely little pink cupcakes I made for a baby shower last weekend. I did some with 'baby girl' written on too but the lighting didn't come out too well on the photo so they are doomed never to see the light of day (poor them). I love making them for baby celebrations - perhaps because you can use lovely pastel colours - but I'm also really looking forward to making them for Valentine's day. I'm going to make some for the market stall and I'll post some pictures on here. Love is definitely in the air :))

I can't remember if I've used this photo before but I thought it was a nice reminder of warmer days and strawberry cupcakes. I'm returning to the market on Wednesday after being away over Christmas and not being hardy enough to brave the stall in snow. But, enough is enough, and today I'm baking again and looking forward to getting back out there :) (This is a slight exaggeration; I love working on the market but it gets bloomin' freezing out on there so I'll be getting out of the car with my boxes of cakes with an feeling of trepidation and wondering if I've got enough pairs of socks on - current maximum pair of socks is 4 which isn't quite enough to keep warm but any more and you can't get your boots on..)
