Birthday Cupcakes!
Here are some cupcakes I made at the weekend for a student's birthday. I had woken up early in the morning to make them and then quickly threw on some make up and scraped my hair up to deliver them. When I got there she got out her camera and took some photos to put on facebook aargh! So there will be a picture of a pretty student, some pretty cakes and a wrinkly old lady with a hair tragedy...
I really think these are one of the best sets I've ever made - I've finally (nearly) got the knack of writing with icing down to a fine art and I love the butterflies with the flowers. The kitchen looks like a bomb's hit it after making a set of cakes like this - making large quantities of buttercream in a KitchenAid sprays icing sugar around the walls (even though I stand with a tea towel held over it to try and contain most of it), the cake baking has already added to the chaos and then my partner was making a full English breakfast at the same time. I need a bigger kitchen..
