Cupcake making

I am so fed up of this bad weather we are having and being cooped up inside all day! It's beginning to get on my nerves. There are some plus sides though! I have been able to do more crafting than normal and also I have managed to update this blog which I havent done for ages!!!

Anyway today (as the weather is shit again! bloody wind this time!) I decided to decorate some cupcakes! I have a few books with ones in that I have been meaning to try for ages but the occasion didnt present itself! until today!

here they are!

A little ducky in a pond!  (this I would like to be a bit neater but not bad for a first attmept!)



Just learnt how to ruffle icing!!! Have to say I want to do this again!!!!!


this one may seem a bit strange but as part of my experimenting I melted a starburst and tried to make it look like a slice of cheese! I was just seeing what you could do with the sweets really and now realise they can be molded in to all sorts of shapes!! cant wait to try some more! (watch this space)

Now this final one is even weirder!! In one of my books it had cake that looked like chips (yes savoury chips!!) so I thought I would have a go! it said to leave them under the grill for 30 seconds and that is what they meant as I left them for 60 seconds and they were burnt!! but they still look pretty much like chips though dont they!!! and the cupcake looks like a pot of ketchup!!! I was pleased with the result!


hee hee love it!! wonder what else I could make!! They did taste nice but it was a bit weird!!

Anyway I had 12 cupcakes so I had to eat the rest as I ran out of time to decorate any more! lol x

Lots of love
