Sailing Home Cupcakes

London is my home.  But so is Guernsey in the Channel Islands... The downside of living in a great city like London is that I miss my family and friends terribly.. So these cakes are inspired by that feeling of longing I get whenever I look at the Thames.. The feeling I wish I could just jump in a boat and sail home.

The cakes are made of my favourite things, vanilla sponge, blueberry centre and strawberry icing..

I have always been obsessed with origami, I think it's cause whenever I am bored there is always paper around and as I can't draw, I fold.. This paper was part of the inspiration for the cakes, only I loved some of the designs so much I couldn't fold them.. so they are now stuck on my bedroom wall...

Sound Test 1: Sad Cakes

I love sad music, and making people happy with cakes.. So I want to create sad cakes that make people happy.. how do you make a sad cake?.. I have no idea but this image and playlist illustrates where my head is at the moment.. I'm just going to start and see what happens..

Cupcake Fruit Basket

So the previous post became part of a leaving gift for someone I've been working with, by adding  Blueberry Cupcakes and Zesty Lemon Cakes I created this alternative fruit basket.  The lemons are made with icing sugar, but if anyone knows where I could get lemons that size... well I would be very excited!

Strawberry Cheesecakes

I love Strawberry Cheesecake..!  But for reason making a cheescake never seems like something I want to do.. So Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes?!  I know they are not overly original but I have given them my own stamp and own recipe.. so of course better then anything that has come before..!!

Britney Spears Hold it Against Me Cake!!

A bit of an odd post for me, but there is a reason for this Britney Spears Cake... One of my best friends 24th Birthday.  He is a massive Britney Spears fan and while I'm not usually a fan of bespoke cakes I will always make an exception for a friend.  As it's Britney, the cake is vanilla of course!  Six layers of vanilla sponge with vanilla icing.  Based on The Hold it Against Me video above.. it turned out.. well pretty darn good!

Twilight CupCakes!!

OK I'm not happy with the grey icing (was meant to be black) but these cakes are as sexy as Edward Cullen himself!  The forbidden fruit sits atop a bed of diamond encrusted icing.  Bite into them, and they ooze delicious fresh raspberry.  Perfect for any Twilight inspired celebration.
