Fore!

My partners mum is a bit of a golf fan...he had the idea of making golf ball cupcakes so I hunted online for chocolate golf balls to put on top. I was under the assumption they would be white chocolate but when we went to unwrap them to put them on the cakes they were milk chocolate with hazelnut praline centres so we left them wrapped.

I'd never piped grass before and used buttercream whereas I should have used royal icing so it set hard but had never made it before let alone used it. The Buttercream worked ok though, just have to be careful it doesn't get to warm.






















I used a damask embossing mat on the white fondant for the flower cupcakes...I love how it looks!

Oh...the B is for Betty and Bill :)

Mini's

These gorgeous little cakes were lucky to make it...I had left them on the floor in the front seat of the car...and my god son decided he'd climb in through that very seat and use the cakes as a step!

Luckily not too much damage was done and I had one very happy god daughter...





















These were for my grandfather's birthday...he never expects anything so was chuffed when I bought these out after dinner...

Busselton Easter Markets

So I finally decided to take the plunge and set up a stall at the Busselton Easter Markets.

A generous friend let me borrow her house for the weekend so I could bake and decorate for hours on end.


It was so much fun to set up and have everyone come and pick their favourite looking cakes...as well as having friends stop by to chat and bring me coffee. Only had a few left at the end of the day which I swapped for some home made dog treats from the store next to me.
