For my mommy darling’s birthday, we celebrated as a family with cake and tea, and my contribution was chocolate cupcakes with custard buttercream!

I’ll bet you’re going to wish you went to school with Shamala’s daughter! This cupcake assortment was sent to her classmates to celebrate her birthday! These aren’t the best photographs unfortunately… I had a dreadful week and I photographed these with my cellphone just before I delivered them.

Some of her order was packaged in clear plastic boxes and tied with a ribbon…

And the following assortment was packaged in a pink paper cup with white dots on with a clear plastic dome fitted to it! It looks so cute!

Chanselize ordered a selection of sweet treats to celebrate her 30^th birthday with a party at Jackal Creek on Friday!

For some reason I didn’t photograph the Oreo cupcakes she also ordered, but here is the rest of her birthday party selection, some of which were topped with piped dark and white chocolate hearts and a “30″ -
