Valentine's Day 2011

These are seriously my favourite cupcakes ever. Delicious, pretty and awesomely creative in a simple way in my opinion.  So, these are delicious TOBLERONE cupcakes that I made for our 'romantic' (it rained like the weather god was angry at EVERYONE and everything) beach picnic.  I had an abundance of toblerone chilling around and couldn't think of any way to use it. Then, it came to me, cupcakes!  So I may have doubled the amount of toblerone in these and can give you the recipe if you so desire.  They were so moist and I honestly wish I could still eat chocolate and gluten...I topped them with heart shaped candies to signify the Valentininess of it all and I love them to bits! They are honestly the perfect addition to any romantic picnic or occasion.

A 'creative' endeavour into a birthday cake

Ok, so I may not be perfect but we can't blame the wonky cake on me.  It was made by someone else and in a dodgy oven. However, I embarked on a mission...early 2011 once again...to create a musical themed cake for my cousin.  After gleefully destroying a set of earphones from Sam's Warehouse, I managed to create this.  There's actually quite a few of the fondant musical notes in different styles around the other side of the cake.  The children loved eating the letters in Cayla's name even if the cake itself was an utter failure on the inside.  If you've ever tried to colour something with black food colouring, you'll know it was an achievement to get it so dark.  So, embrace the cake.

Australia Day cupcakes 2011

So, sadly I don't have any pictures of the inside of my super duper cuppy cakes.  If I recall correctly, the ones with the icing flags were red cake, the blue ones were blue swirly cake and the green ones were...well, green.  Just for the record, the icing flag cakes were...not satisfactory but I found a different cake recipe which has always been a success and makes a perfect 12 cupcakes.

The Beginning of the Rainbow Cake Collection

I made these cupcakes in January this year. They were my only cupcakes made from a box but to be completely honest they were the best box made cupcakes I have ever eaten. Some people say I use too much colouring in my rainbow cakes but I say pfft...what is the point of eating a rainbow if it doesn't stand out and you can't taste it? Give the kids a little bit of extra coloured fuel for their already sugar filled high :) They'll enjoy it, you'll enjoy it and they'll eventually run themselves ragged anyway.
