Wedding Cupcakes

Did these cupcakes for a wedding yesterday. There are only 18 of them, it was a case of everyone bring something to contribute to the buffet, so there were loads of sweets, so I only took a few. The ones with cherries on top are red velvet with cream cheese frosting. The glitter ones are vanilla with vanilla buttercream. I got some really brilliant feedback from these, it made my week! =)

Strawberry Conserve-Filled Vanilla Glitter Cupcakes

Really proud of these - my first time making cupcakes without a teacher on-hand, and they were delish! Stayed fresh for 4 days too =)

My First Ever Cake!

This is my first attempt at decorating since I was ten years old, when I'm sure my mum probably did most of it for me (but let me believe I did it all =) ). I used this recipe for the cake: http://www.dianasdesserts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/recipes.recipeListing/filter/dianas/recipeID/2162/Recipe.cfm It seems like a good, dense cake which may be good for stacked cakes (I have yet to try, eek!). Could be slightly more moist. I thought the cake was too shallow to torte but now I have cut it, it looks like it could have been done. BC crumb layer and pink fondant with white fondant bow. I am quite pleased with the bow despite the fact it is already cracking! Pics taken yesterday show the loops have flattened considerably over night. I should definitely have left my tissue supports in longer. And I should have made the tails more flowing. But YAY, the most important thing is that the cake tastes good! Served it with jam to compensate for no filling, and the fondant didn't taste like food colouring, which I was worried about. I am happy with my first attempt and am glad I have realised how to rectify my mistakes for future =) Hurrah!
