Choc Filled Cakes

I made choc mud cupcakes on the weekend for our father's day lunch. Half had a caramel fill (as u can see in pic) and half had a hazelnut fill. They were then topped with ganache icing - mmmmmm. My favourite so far!!!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

I made red velvet cupcakes for the first time on the weekend for Father's Day. They are an American favourite I am told. The cake has a mild chocolate taste and is then iced with a cream cheese icing. My mum and husband were fans of this cake but as I am a big chocolate lover I like something with a little more choc!















Guitar cake and cupcakes

I made these cakes for our friends birthday on the weekend. The cake was 'Planet Cakes' mudcake (which I highly recommend). It was then covered in chocolate ganache then white chocolate fondant (which I also tried for the first time and we all loved it) The guitar was made out out flower paste and piped royal icing. The cupcakes were choc mud cupcakes. The green cups were filled with a hazelnut fill and the blue were filled with caramel fill and then topped with chocolate ganache.







Farm Animal Cakes

These are the farm animal cupcakes i made on the weekend. The cupcakes are egg free vanilla cupcakes. The icing flavours are mint, pineapple, raspberry and strawberry. The animals are all made out of fondant.





Egg free cupcakes

These are my first ever egg free cupcakes. I was very suprised by how well they worked out and you could hardly tell their was no egg in them. I just used my normal recipe and left out the egg. It worked a treat. I just recently learnt that you can grind flax seeds and add water to replace eggs. I might try this next time.


Flower 17th Birthday Cakes

These cakes were made a little while ago for a girls 17th birthday and I forgot to put them on here. They are vanilla cupcakes with rosewater, strawberry and vanilla icing.
