So it has been an eventful few days, so much so, that I haven't been able to get on here and keep you updated!

The boxes and cupcake cases for my sample packs have arrived! I will take a photo soon and post it here. 

I went to my little sister Caitlin's birthday party yesterday. I made four different batches of cupcakes and took them with me. They certainly were a hit! Here are some photos.
In the first photo, from left to right are: 

  • Marshmallow madness: a light sponge with dairy free white chocolate buttons mixed in, pink dairy free butter icing with pink sugar glimmer sprinkled over it, and a hidden marshmallow inside!
  • Coco-Lime Rocks: a snowball type cake, made with limes and coconut, topped with a lime icing and dipped in coconut
  • Cherry Bakewell: like a bakewell tart, but without the pastry! These are topped with a yummy custard icing and a cherry
  • Sweet Shop Cupcakes: a fluffy lemon flavoured sponge with a lemon curd filling, topped with icing, dolly mixtures and jelly beans!

It was a lot of fun making these, but definitely more fun testing them! 

I also found a photo of the cupcake that started it all: the After Eight Cupcake! This was taken at Christmas.
This cupcake went down so well, it inspired me to try new things and basically spurred me on to start this whole crazy gluten and dairy free venture! 

My other little sister Eilidh wants me to make a dinosaur cake for her birthday, so I am trying to come up with some ideas for that. I have some, but I may need to practice! Watch this space!

I hope you have enjoyed drooling over the pictures, and I hope that one day you will all get to taste my yummy gluten and dairy free cupcakes!
