Happy days!

Carrying cupcakes around is a messy and complicated affair, let me tell you this. I have been dreading this coming weekend when the Scout Group I am a leader for is hosting a fundraising cake stall, as well as a fundraising wine night for which I am baking cupcakes with chocolate wine (yum!).

But today I nipped into a local pound shop to check out if they had any boxes I can use to carry the cupcakes in, and found The Solution to my problem. Just look at this beauty:For a few weeks now I had been eyeing this cupcake caddy on Amazon. But while we are considered UK for anything else, delivery to Gib is not the easiest things of all. It takes ages, costs a fortune or is not possible at all for bulky/heavy objects. I decided not to go through the stand mixer drama again and gave up. So imagine how I felt today when I saw it!!! Insta-buy, obviously.

Cannot wait for Saturday morning to stack all the funfetti cupcakes in it!

Garden themed birthday cake

So I had all those posts planned in my head… Mother’s day (in March where I am based), Easter, etc. But now it’s been way after each of these events so I decided to forget about the plan and post everything backwards. Starting with my latest baking creation: a birthday cake for a keen gardener!

Me and my friend who ordered it didn’t want fondant so this made it a little more complicated but I am still happy with the result. Red velvet cake with cream cheese all the way (albeit painted green on the outside) and all edible decorations:

I loved making all the decorations but my favorite is the watering can. Too much cute, I think!
