A cakey shout out all the way in Australia!

I was just wondering the roads of Facebook when I came across Cupcake D'Lights in Australia!
Her work is amazing so wanted to show you all!





These are a very small selection of her work, but they stood out to me. The last one uses embossers which i had never considered using within the topic she has- they look great!
Also, the cupcake bouquet really made me smile as shes done her cakes how i do mine- out of fondant and NOT piped roses! I <3!

Glitter Cupcakes and Toffee filled Chocolate Cups!

SO chuffed! Was experimenting with edible glitter and decided to see what would happen if I threw some in with the batter... and it worked! I have sparkley cupcakes!


The glitter can be seen in this one :)



Also, made my first Toffee filled Chocolate Cups! Love making chocolate and decided to add toffee to this batch!

Hello to EVERYONE!

Just been looking at my page stats and have seen my blog is being viewed literally ALL over the world! Australia, New Zealand... Italy, America, EVERYWHERE!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank each and every single one of you for stopping by and taking a look at my blog- it really does mean so much to me.
Also, I would LOVE to try and create one new cupcake for each country you're all from- so drop me a line with some ideas! Can be sweet OR savory, doesn't matter but I would really love to include you ALL in my flavours :-)

Thank you again,
Loves x

Cake of the day- Day 7

Our cake of the day, today comes from Claire's Cakes:

Stunning! Love how Ben is the centre of the artwork even though he has so much going on around him- LOVE it! The stars on wire are really effective too.

Decision!

I made a decision today and that decision was to not focus entirely on cupcakes. SO many people do cupcakes, its rediculous- sooo I've decided to start focusing on other edibles as well and will be combining a few things in with cupcakes to create new creations :-)

All will be revealed next week!

Cake of the day- Day 6


Today's Cakes of the Day come from the Vintage Cake Company.
I was astounded by the cakes I found and couldn't choose just one... so I chose 4!



^ This one is probably my favorite. I just love it! It's so different to what I've seen before!


And  I love these because they're simple but so brilliant!

New Character Cupcakes




Bumble Bee and Love Bug (Easily turn in able to a lady bug) :-)

Cake of the day- Day 5

This post isn't going to be very long as I'm recovering from a migraine, but I made a promise :-)
These two images are courtesy of The Wee Bakery. I chose the fruit cupcakes because I fell in love with the middle row! I love how the colours shine through the icing sugar yet still look scrumptious! I really love this whole display.

I chose the fairy because I loved her face and how she was sat by a toadstall and butterflies. I just fell in <3 with it!

Facebook being silly!


Got busy today in the kitchen and created new cakes! The bear can be used as a baby cupcake for male or females, which i love. and the flower can be used for a lot of different occasions too. The ballet theme, I just thought was adorable!






I've been trying to make ice cream cupcakes for WEEKS and finally mastered it today! Sooo pleased with the results!



Cupcake of the day- 3&4!

DAY 3: Ok, yesterday's cupcake is by the very talented Shell's Cupcakes!

I love the simplicity, yet complex-ness of this cupcake design, it's beautiful :-)


DAY 4:


Today's cupcake hit a chord with me. I LOVE shortbread AND cupcakes and fell in love when I saw this one! Cupcake, sandwiching shortbread and cream in one heavenly bite- amazing! Thankyou All Things Cupcake for this one!
