Little Owl Cakes

I had so so soooo much fun doing these! I got the idea online and, as my sister is a little obsessed with owls at the moment, couldn't wait to give these a go. They took me absolutely ages though. Once again they are marble cakes and I am still struggling to get the amount right in the case, how is this possible? I started with cutting circles in roll-on icing and then proceeded to cut out an array of shapes for the owls etc. The owls themselves were hard to cut and I ended up using the bottom of a snowman cutter which was perfect for size! Once again I didn't really leave myself enough time and ended up going waaaay into the night doing these but it was so worth it! They're awesome!
Lesson number 20: Get some more cutters (for when you're back at uni!)

Bike Cupcakes!

So Friday was my Dad and my sister's birthday - so excited to make cakes!! I'd been concentrating so much on what to make for Georgie that I didn't really think about Dad's. So I decided to go simple and use my new piping bags to do some bikes. Now I thought this would be easy but I had to practise on a duff cake and find a picture on the internet to copy. I got carried away and ended up doing them quite fast as it was difficult to stop. They aren't amazing but they ended up being quite cute and he liked them so mission accomplished! Plus the cakes were marble cakes which were fun to make.
Lesson number 19: Pracctise with the piping bags more and slow down!! CONCENTRATE!!!

British Cupcakes!

My friends and I decided to get into the Biritsh spirit today by decorating some very patriotic cupcakes. Now, because it was a team effort I will admit that they are not how I'd pictured them - me being all perfectionist and what not! However, they were fun to make and it doesn't really matter what they look like because they were delicious! One of the cakes not in the photo was Ed's 'multicultural' cupcake which was created when he forgot that the theme was red, white and blue!
Lesson number 18: Bake more with your friends - but they do not like it if you're too controlling!
