Idol Nights

So I'm aware of the lack of posts, this has been due to hideous amounts of end of term essays and a rather nasty cold. These Idol cupcakes were for an American Idol viewing night a few weeks ago. American Idol pretty much takes over our lives for a few months and I love it. We often have friends over to watch it and so I made these bright blue cupcakes complete with ice cream cone microphones.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today was my Dad's birthday. We had a really nice relaxing day, which of course included eating birthday cake. I can't take much credit for this as Mum was more about the production and I was in charge of design. Based on the ribbon I chose blue, and managed to find a shade that didn't scream baby boy (but maybe Smurf). Creating a manly looking birthday cake is actually pretty tricky, but I think he really liked it.
