Cricket Cupcakes

I couldn't tell you anything about cricket, except that Weybridge Cricket Club are having a fundraiser this Sunday. I know this because my friend asked me to help her make cupcakes for it as she works for the club catering for the teams. We used the logo on their cricket tops to inspire the decoration and colour. I think they look kind of masculine and cool but have not helped to enhance my knowledge of the game one bit.

Found. Biscuits

It's been a while since I have made anything for Lauren's work. I wanted to have another go at royal icing so figured these biscuits were a good choice, especially for tea time in an office. As you can see here I've attempted their logo. I used Tate & Lyle's Royal Icing Sugar which made the whole process a lot easier. The purple sprinkles were lovingly added by Becki as I find making royal icing a two person job as it dries quickly. My design for transport of the biscuits was pretty basic...I hope they all made it there in one piece!

University Challenged

Last night we hosted a 'University Challenge' evening. Mainly because I wanted to play my new University Challenge game, in which my team managed to score a shocking total of zero points. We all dressed up and I served these themed cupcakes topped with the University Challenge logo and jelly sweet brains. Paxman would be proud.

Cake for Grandy

So over the summer it was a special birthday for my Grandmother. Having been away for her actual day I wanted to make her something special when I got back. With my sister clearly having input in the colour choices I came up with this simple and pretty cake which she loved.
