Mr whippy please!

These are my contribution to the massive mothers day meal that we're having today! all the famo are coming round for a HUGE roast.. These are my pud! I found these flakes in the supermarket the other day, new they'd come in very handy! 
I put a little too much vanilla extract in the icing so its super sweet but I'm sure all the little mouths wont mind to much! 
Happy mothers day everyone! 

Triny star!

Triny stars little cakies! I drunkenly promised somebody I would bring them cake at work and these are what she received! 

The topping for these isn't my usual butter cream! it's actually chocolate ganache.. I've never actually made ganache before and to begin with this was an absolute disaster! I used 250g of chocolate because I didn't actually buy enough to begin with, the recipe says you need 350g but I think that's a huge amount! It was so rich! however I did keep the other quantities as it said 50g of butter and 150g of single cream! anyway it all came together in the end thank fully! 


I used the lakeland cupcake cases I was chatting about the other day, they're such good quality I would defiantly recommend! 

Broom broom!

Had the most fun playing around with these! My cousin asked me to make something silly for her mans birthday   ! something for a big kid I guess! I'm still a little bit scared of royal icing! I'd love to actually learn how to use it you know! take a course of something! I'd love to be able to make 'wow' cakes. 

Had a parcel come today, lakeland have a huge range of cakey things and my lovely muma ordered me lots of colourful cases and some more icing to have a play with... Im determined to get better :)

Berry Berry Blackberry buns!

Cheated a bit with these! they were supposed to be made with raspberries but i decided it could be a very expensive recipe, it says to ad raspberry liqueur and along with the marzipan cream and creme fraiche it costs a fair few pennies to make! So we had a little dig in the freezer and found about 12oz of blackberries that had be picked back in the autumn and stored away for a crumble or something yummy like that! anyway.. I simply replaced the raspberries with blackberries and avoided the liqueur, I really didn't fancy that! they came out really well actually! I forced my friend Abby to be my taster and they went down very well. yey! although I made a few with out marzipan just for me as I cant stand the stuff! YUCK.

Everyone's favourite brownies!

These never last long in my house, I originally used to make brownies with a really rough recipe, you know one cup of that two of that sorta thing! they never came out well at all! then one day I was having cuppa and a chat with my cousin and she brought out the most TASTY brownies in the world.... so I stole her recipe! in fact she had stolen it from Delia smiths baking cook book! (sorry cant remember its actual name!) the only thing I change is that I don't use chocolate chips as I think they're a bit boring and get kinda lost in the bulk of the brownie! I break up and chunk chocolate into them instead! and they really are amazing! 

Daisy chains!

Have been playing around with some daisy designs today.. I think the top one is my favourite I'm not to pleased about the other two, I think they look a bit rubbish, Guess I'll have to keep practicing!

Twinkle twinkle

just a few cheeky stars! I thought they were cute! I'm not sure why I chose the red, maybe a different colour would have looked better. I ended up with bright red hand after colouring the icing too.. Boo! :(
