Shebee’s birthday is coming up and she ordered cupcakes for her picnic celebration.

She ordered her favourite strawberry with cream cheese icing cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes with my signature soft serve icing, and chocolate cupcakes with nougat secret centres and chocolate butter icing.

Happy Anniversary

Author: Angel

These were ordered as a surprise by Jon for his girlfriend Sheena! He’s such a romantic and specified everything from the message to the colour scheme and flavours!

There were strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese icing, vanilla cupcakes with vanilla butter icing and two chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and cherries on. These were decorated with the words “I LOVE YOU” in glittery pink and purple fondant lettering.

A Gift

Author: Angel

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 Wedding

Author: Angel

I made strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese icing, chocolate cupcakes with a creme-caramel secret centre topped with chocolate butter icing and chocolate discs and rolls, and I made vanilla cakes- some with secret centres- topped with white vanilla butter icing, red fondant hearts and black fondant music notes and symbols.

I had special cupcake wrappers made with a red and white paisley theme and our monogram in purple on the front. They looked spectacular!

My mom and sisters helped me ice and decorate them the night before the wedding, and we had great fun in my kitchen.

The following photographs were taken by many different people- myself, our official wedding photographer Jeanette Verster, my sister Candy, my daddy darling and my friend Wenchy! They’re in no particular order, but I think you’ll enjoy them.

Instead of cutting a cake, we only had my cupcakes and we fed one to each other after the ceremony!

       

     

Two weeks after the wedding, we had a Trash-The-Dress shoot, and we started in my kitchen where I was “baking” cupcakes! You can see some of those photos here!
