As promised! Finally found spare time to do some baking, so decided to go for the cupcakes I’ve been wanting to try since I got the Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days book last year. I tried the original version of these cupcakes at the Hummingbird Bakery last year and they tasted unbelievably good, so I was keen to try and replicate if I could!

So it’s been a while since I last posted and it’s because I have resumed my University studies, so it’s been a bit hectic (plus I’ve been lazy) so apologies for the lack of new posts recently.
It was my boyfriend’s sister’s (Stef) 21st birthday last month, so I made some cupcakes to celebrate with! The pink and white ones you see above, are rose flavoured. Continue reading “21st Birthday Cupcakes”
My friend Kylie celebrated her birthday this past week, and she loves mooses (moose/meese?!) so I decided to make her some moose cupcakes. I got the idea from a book I got for my birthday, What’s New, Cupcake? which is brilliant for novelty cupcakes.

I first tried the Tiramisu cupcakes at the Hummingbird Bakery in London and since their new recipe book came out, I have been dying to try them out! This is the second batch I’ve made and they turned out much better and less messy. Continue reading “Tiramisu Cupcakes”
My friend celebrated her birthday this past weekend, if you know her, you will understand that she has a slight obsession with using excessive emoticons and exclamation marks in her messages. So, I thought, what better than a set of emoticon cupcakes to celebrate her birthday. Continue reading “A Very Smiley Birthday”
A few Sunday’s ago, I had a stall set up at the Fenny Poppers festival – it was lucky that the sun came out and the rain stayed away!
I made about 400 cupcakes in preparation for the event, in the two days running up to it. I spent Friday baking all the bases (vanilla, chocolate, lemon, carrot cake and chocolate orange) and all Saturday making the frosting and decorating the cupcakes. This time, I branched out and introduced a couple of new flavours – Strawberry Trifle (with a real strawberry on top), Chocolate Orange, Oreo and Carrot Cake. Along with these, there were the standard vanilla, chocolate and lemon cupcakes. Continue reading “Fenny Poppers Festival”
Last week, I finished an order for 17th birthday racing-themed cupcakes. There were 24 cupcakes in total, a dozen were vanilla flavoured and the other dozen, chocolate flavoured. Continue reading “Get Set…. Go!”
