Cotton Candy (Candy Floss) Cupcakes These cotton candy (candy floss in the UK) are all the fun of the fair, but without the puke-inducing rides! I'm a thrill seeker so I love the scary 'flip-you-up-and-throw-you-everywhere' type of rides! :D Just a pity my damn arthritic bones won't allow me to be thrown in each and every direction possible anymore so to fellow thrill-sellers… puke on! But for those of you that love the fun fair, here's some cupcakes for you that bring all that special charm and childhood memories without the puke-inducing rides. I say puke inducing but seriously, if … [Read more...]

Dulce De Leche Banoffee Cupcakes Have you missed me? :) I hope you said yes then because I've missed each and every one of you. As I said on Sunday's link party, (which is still open. Go submit, do it now) I've been ill. Thanks to those of you who wished me well. I'm feeling tons better - yay for painkillers! Crappy frosting swirls! Can you believe January is almost over? When did that happen? Why has it gone too fast? To be honest, and I don't know why, things have been epically busy for me since Christmas. As we all did, I took time out from blogging over the Christmas and New Year … [Read more...]

Cookies and Cream Cupcakes First and foremost… HAPPY NEW YEAR! Did you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year? I hope so. I did, and not one drop of alcohol touched my lips the entire festive period too! But wow, isn't it exhausting? I think I'm still in shock after all the festivities. I over indulged on Christmas day too, of course! :) I feel so out of touch with blogging. Seriously, it feels like I've been away for months, not weeks… Craziness. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. Does anyone else feel like that too? Seriously, I feel like I've been away … [Read more...]

Campfire Cupcakes

Campfire Cupcakes It's bonfire night (whoop!) But sadly, this is the last installment of bonfire night goodies (boo!) It's been like a war zone here. Fireworks making that loud fizzing/squealing noise with a pop at the end. Then, of course, there's the bangers. You know the type, the ones that shoot up with no noise at all then an almighty ear-popping bang that ricochets around the houses. The ones that make you jump so such your heart races! They're like someone sneaking up on you in the middle of the night with a balloon and a pin! *clutches chest!* There's only one way to settle your … [Read more...]

Gothic Rose Vampire Cupcakes

Devil's Cardamom Chocolate Cupcakes When I was a teen I totally went through that whole Goth phase. We're talking crushed velvet, milk-like pale skin (which I'm totally naturally guilty of anyway - pass the fake tan, stat!), corsets, black and white stripy tights, and um, Marilyn Manson (and now the barf bag please because yes, I just went there!) Thankfully, I grew out of it some years later with the exception of some rock music but we're not talking death screams anymore. However, it has left a lasting strangeness to my soul and might probably be the reason as to why I'm drawn to those … [Read more...]

Bloody Brains Cupcakes

Bloody Brains Cupcakes What do you love best about Halloween as an adult? For me, it still seems like a mystical time of the year. In England, the end of October is normally cold. If it's not raining, there's normally a frost in the air and you can always see your breath in the air as a little cloud that shines in the street lights. Obviously, it's so much better if there's an awesome full moon with creepy cloud cover too. I love that I can get warm and cosy on the sofa with a giant cup of hot chocolate and a huge warm jumper with the fire on. As a child, there was a children's park on a … [Read more...]

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes These Pink Lemonade Cupcakes are perfect for Summer. Drizzled with lemon sugar syrup and frosted them with a zesty lemon buttercream frosting. Decorated with pink, white, and red nonpareils, and topped off with a straw to give it that pink lemonade retro, funky feel. I can't believe it, I feel so out of touch, but this looks like my first baked goods in almost a month due to that pesky reoccurring cold I had (that I posted about in my last post). I've totally missed baking, blogging and visiting all my favourite blogs. Feels like I've been on some sort of weird … [Read more...]

Olympics London 2012 Patriotic Red, White and Blue Cupcakes London Olympics 2012 themed patriotic red, white and blue decorated cupcakes for a London Olympic themed birthday party. First of all, please excuse the iPhone photos. I didn't have time to take some high-quality piccies (you'll see why below as you read on!) My 'future' sister in law, Nicola knows that I bake as a hobby, and instead of buying cupcakes from the store she asked if I would do the cupcakes for her son, Jack's 11th birthday party. "Sure", I said not realising that It also fell on Easter Sunday. They were wanting to … [Read more...]
