June 2010. Two dozen cakes for Brian’s world cup party: a mixture of vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, iced with English (natch) strawberry buttercream and decorated with flags, footballs and football pitches.
I threw some football-shaped chocolate sweets into the boxes too.
June 2010. Dave loves a baked cheesecake. In fact he makes one about every fortnight. So I thought that since I was visiting, I’d take some chilled Oreo Cookies and Cream baked cheesecake/cupcakes with me.
The cakes have a whole Oreo cookie as the base, and then more crumbled into the mix- yum! (thanks for the recipe, Martha Stewart).
Update: I'm not sure if Dave actually saw this as a challenge: before we'd even finished these, he started baking one of his own!
June 2010. Goodbye to our lovely Swedish friends. I thought I’d send them on their way back home with a belly full of Chocolate & Brown Sugar cupcakes with English strawberry buttercream.
Check out my new stickers too :-)
May 2010. Just because it’s the start of the holidays and Danny wanted to do some baking and I wanted to try this recipe: Coconut cupcakes with coconut icing and flakes.
The icing turned out a bit too pink: they look even pinker in the photos because they aren’t taken in daylight.
They were very tasty though :-)
