Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla butter icing and sprinkles, and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate butter icing and sprinkles.

A friend of mine recently had a baby boy, and because of all sorts of wedding things and various events I was unable to attend her baby shower.

When I went to visit to meet the little man, I took her this little gift of six. Two with caramel secret centres, two with strawberry secret centres and two plain chocolate cupcakes topped with all sorts of pretty decorations.

My youngest sister turned 30 on June 1^st, and her other half and almost step daughter had been planning a surprise birthday party for well over a month. We spent the day keeping her away from the house so they could prepare, and I bakes these for her for the party.

I went with a pink and black colour scheme that she had mentioned she liked, and baked chocolate cakes with malted honeycomb secret-centres in silver cups topped with pink icing, pink glitter and black fondant flowers. I did vanilla cakes with caramel secret-centres, also with pink butter icing and topped with black fondant roses, pink and silver glitter and a little pink sugar. In black cups I made strawberry cupcakes and topped them with cream cheese icing, black fondant flowers, tiny silver dragees and a little pink sugar.

Happy birthday Candy! I hope it was a surprise!

Tanya ordered cupcakes from me again! I have a sneaky suspicion she might like them…

These are vanilla cupcakes in white paper cups, with two-tone pink and white butter icing and tiny butterfly sprinkles. And glitter, of course!

This week, I had vanilla sample boxes available. I sold 11 of these for R40 each, and when I put the offer out there I had no idea what I was actually going to do with them!

I ended up with several “regular” cupcakes, just cake and icing and sprinkles, several “decadent” cupcakes and a few luxury cupcakes too!
