Cake

March 7, 2012

So the reason why I have not written anything in a week is because I spent last week preparing for not one but two birthday parties. A morning party for 13 children and an afternoon party where just under 30 adults and children came.

So what do we need for parties?… Cake… so I thought I’d share a few snaps before I blog in detail.

Mini Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Butter-cream

Chilli Chocolate Cake

Vanilla Cupcakes with a Red Swirl Butter-cream and Edible Glitter

Lego Yoda Birthday Cake

Leftovers (it’s a good week to pop in for a coffee)

Top work! You already know I love the Yoda one, but they all look ace. Where did you find the recipe for the chillichoc, or is it all your own work?

Wow, it all looks fab, I will have to get the chilli chocolate recipe from you, sounds lovely, I have recently discovered chilli chocolate and love it! Your Yoda cake is fab, I did a LEGO storm trooper last week http://theramblingpages.blogspot.com/2012/02/lego-starwars-cake.html for my son’s birthday party. The coolest kids obviously have LEGO cakes!
