Valentines Day

My sister Lyndel wanted me to make some Red Velvet cupcakes - which was fine by me because I've been wanting to try them out!

I LOVE red velvet!!! It's such a unique wonderful taste it's hard to describe exactly what it tastes like.   When somebody asked me I said - " its hard to actually determine a flavour - because of the cocoa they are a little chocolaty but then there are other flavours in there - lets just say they taste like velvet! hehe"

didn't have a heart cookie cutter so they are hand cut -
which is why the edges are a bit rough :-S

with cream cheese frosting

More Animal Cupcakes

I couldn't work with Junita today as she's not well but I really wanted to make some more animals.  I had very limited tools at this stage but I was really happy with how they turned out.

Panda, Lion, Pig & Bear

Koala, Dog, Rabbit & Elephant.

Snowflake Cupcakes

I had seen snowflake cupcakes a few times while looking at different pictures and I fell in love with them instantly!!!

I think it's just because of the simpleness of the design and also the contrast of colours that both stand out in their own way.  oh and I love blue!!!

a touch of glitter really sets it off!

and dragonflies... These also popped out at me!

Cupcakes

I stared to working with a friend who also loves to decorate cakes & cupcakes, she has however been decorating longer than me so I now go over there every tuesday to decorate and learn.

My first ones I wanted to try were animal cupcakes - I thought this would be fun to surprise the kids with!

 and I even had enough time to make some beautiful butterflies:-

I had a lot of fun with Junita and can't wait to make some more!
