*drool* Banana, toffee cupcakes

This was a quick fix for a cupcake craving. Simple banana cake covered in a toffee buttercream (an entire bottle of toffee!!!). I wished I had caramelised nuts to sprinkle on top but unfortumately I had to settle with chocolate sprinkles. My next misson is to do a caramel cake with Peanut butter icing, i will keep you updated on that.

Mini Rainbows

These are a mini version of the rainbow cake that I have on the site. They took so long, it almost broke my heart but was well worth it in the end.

It is a simple vanilla cake mixture that I have added colouring too; I would like to try it with four different flavours sometime in the future.

I iced them with a mixture of white choc cheese cake icing and vanilla buttercream and used crazy colours.

Banana, Carmel and pecan cake

No need to elaborate the tilte reveals all. This is a banana cake that I  drizzled home made caramel over and covered with pecan nuts. This was a very yummy combination and plan on making a lot more of it.

Can anyone say Halloween treat??!?!

Mint chocolate mission

Ollooo, i mean hello all.

i know it has been a while since our last entry but a lot of baking has taken place. One cake I am particularly excites to talk about is my mint aero chocolate giant cupcake. Oh yes, you heard right. The cake is a light and fluffy mint flavoured and green tinged cake. It is full of creamy chocolate filling and frosted with the same chocolate frosting and also a green mint frosting. I decorated it with stars and pieces of mint aero. It was for a friend's birthday so I also made a chocolate plaque and wrote her name on it.

I have also made this flavour in normal cupcakes, it is particularily fun as it is spooky looking with the green colouring. It would make a good cake for halloween or a birthday party.

Taste the Rainbow

RAINBOW

I did it!!! For ages I have wanted to make the rainbow cake and finally this weekend I did just that. 6 layers of colourful goodness. And typical me, I used liquid food colouring, it turned out surprisingly well. : ) Although I did detect an increased level of energy and hysteria after the children had consumed it. This cake just cheered everyone up on a miserable day!!

Goodbye cake!

One of the girls I work with is off to greener pastures; so to send her on her way I made her a big pink cupcakes. This giant cupcake mould is paying for itself. It is just a classic vanilla sponge with a gooey caramel centre and white chocolate cheesecake icing.

A funny story about the flowers, the shop where I would usually get them was closed by the time I finished work so I went to the closest Avoca cafe and offered to pay them a lot of money for some flowers. However the girls were absolutely saintly and gave them to me free of charge.  

Cupcakes for the sake of cupcakes

When I make a normal batch of cupcakes I always hide a few from my brothers and bring them into the few girls I work with in the shop. One day I was caught red handed by everyone else and they demanded I brink them in cupcakes also.
I have been toying around with my mint aero cupcake idea, (which has been very successful let me tell you) and I decided to make a huge batch of mint aero and vanilla cupcakes for all of the people I work with. 56 CUPCAKES, transporting them was a nightmare.

I actually got the peppermint essence from Avoca, it smells soooo yummy when you open the bottle. My fingers were very green after using the colouring, yet another reason i really need to invest in gel food colouring.

This picture makes me drool, i can promise you not a single drop of this icing was wasted.

greeeeeen.
