Easter Specials!

Hey everyone! 

How are we all? 

I know the title may put you off a little, Easter posts, on the 10th? I know I know, it's my fault and I need to update more often, I'm not doing bad though! 

I've been a bit busy, what with making a dozen 80th Cupcakes then an 80th Birthday cake and testing some new cupcake recipes out, it's all been a bit hectic. So I'm trying to post ASAP. But! You will be happy to know that after this post we will be (soon) up to date, we are more up to date now with the posts than we we're a bit ago, let's just say that! 

Eee! Just look at those cute little pink and green Easter Eggs inside those cookies!

These are "slice" sugar cookies, there is a word for it but I can't remember it! Basically, it's a Vanilla Sugar cookie recipe, and then halved into colours of your choice and the design you wish to use. The recipe is  by a wonderful woman called Ruth Clemens A.K.A The Pink Whisk, go check out the recipe here ---> The Pink Whisk - Sugar Cookies

Such a great recipe, Ruth truly does have some great recipes and I have used quite a few of hers in the past, go and take a look! She's a bloody star!

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while but didn't really know how too, so I thought I would give it a search and found so many things to do with it on Instagram, such a wonderful place for any kind  of inspiration! 

So I found this incredible woman who makes cookies that just blew me away! I first saw Eugenie Kitchen on Youtube whilst scrolling through different youtubers pages and I was just fascinated by what she has baked! There are tutorials as well which she has kindly filmed and they helped me to create these wonderful Easter Egg themed sugar cookies.

It is based on the Heart cookies above, but I decided to do mine a little different and go for an Easter Egg seeing as it was Easter! I sadly forgot to get the sprinkles though, I will have to remember them next time! 

So here is what the dough looked like before the finished cookies (Top pic!) I Just love the way they look, cute isn't even close! So there you have it, Vanilla sugar cookies with a lovely Easter twist pattern inside. Big thanks to the super ladies and their blogs, make sure you go and check them out!! 

We also made a big batch of triple chocolate brownies! Which was white, dark and milk chocolate, then filled with milk chocolate chunks! As requested by Mr. B! Do love making brownies, do you like making brownies? Have any new recipes you wish to share? Let me know and I'll give them a go! 

Much love, hope you all had a lovely Easter! (Bit late I know! Haha) 

Ooh! Check that out! Brand new signature, we're moving up ladies and gentlemen! 

Mother's Day Cake

Ahh! Hey everyone! 

How are we all doing this evening, morning, afternoon, wherever you are in this big wide world! 

I for one am feeling great, this blog is finally starting to pick itself up (by itself, I mean me...of course...or am I?) 

Anyway, all pages are getting updated, and most of them are all up to date, though sadly apart from this one. BUT! We've nearly got you all covered, seeing as we have a few final posts to go then everything will be all in sync!

We currently have some Banoffee cupcakes in the oven, but we will post them at a later date...hopefully tonight or tomorrow. It has only just occrred to me that I should of probably been putting the dates on these posts to when they actually took place, but I haven't. Sorry guys, may do it at some point! 

So the above photo is the second, yes I did just say second, Mother's Day cake. The first was a dummy and it was made for my college course, but this! Oh no, this beauty was a fruit cake and decorated too! 

It's pretty much the same as the one I made for college, except it has pink roses instead of really pale pink roses, it's mint green instead of pale baby blue and it has some different flowers around the outside and different embossing on the cake board.

So basically, the design is the same, the colours are a tad different, only a tad though! 

I loved making this cake and my Mum and Auntie enjoyed it too, sadly my Nan didn't but she was with us in spirit I'm sure! 

I made the lovely roses, but I know they need working on..I'm sorting that out don't worry, still learning in some ways but aren't we all! I was aiming this page to be a website but it's kind of turned into a blog (which it is I suppose, I know!) But I do prefer it as a blog, so hey ho!

I embossed little flowers around the top of the cake, made thin little pink daisies to go around the outside of the cake too! I then piped 'Happy Mother's Day' in graduated line work on top in white then pink. To top it all off, I pipped a snail trail around the base of the cake in pink and embossed the cake board.  

Ta-Da! All piping was done with Royal Icing :) 

Speak soon and much love,

Paris Themed Birthday Cake

Evening everyone! 

How are we all doing? 

I've just finished going through all the posts, seeing as half of them had photo's missing! Can you believe it, no? Me neither!

Anyway, I don't have many more updates to give you all, well, I do but I will do them all in a batch post. You will all soon see!  For now I will grant you the access to view some of the last cakes that I have recently done, there are three but will all be posted in separate posts (They need their glory! Haha) 

And here we have it! The two tiered, Paris themed birthday cake. I really did enjoy making this cake so much and for once I wasn't really stressful, Hoozah! It was great and so fun!

Now to the specifics: The bottom layer was a Funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam sandwiched together, the top tier is chocolate cake sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream. 

The bottom layer was then covered in white sugar paste and the top in mint green. Emerald stripes of sugarpaste we're placed around the bottom tier, whilst emerald polka dots we're placed around the top tier. 

Using modelling paste, I created one large pink rose to sit on top, and four little white roses to be placed on top of the bottom tier. I made silhouettes out of black sugarpaste and placed them inbetween the emerald stripes. Making the black stand out more on the white background. 

Last but not least, there's an Eiffel Tower stuck on top, constructed out of Rice cripsies and covered with many layers of white chocolate and then green. We then placed black and white ribbon around the base of each cake to make it look even more pretty, and pinned them in with a pearl coloured bobby bin (Don't worry, it was brand new, not used for anything else and sterilized first) 

I really enjoyed making this cake, especially the silhouettes, I just love them!  I really liked how it looked and everything. It was a surprise for the customer as her partner had bought her tickets to go away to Paris for the weekend and surprised her with her birthday cake! How wicked is that! Very happy to be a part of it. 

Much love,

Back Log Update

Evening everyone!..Or Morning, whichever way you wish to look at it!

Hope you're all okay and had a fab day? We're still in the baking process, so I thought I would do a little blog post (with a little bit of back log, but remember! Not much back log, I did inform you all, do remember that!) 

I should do this more often shouldn't I? More fun and it's still as fun as my book review page, except I'm always baking! Nothing stopping me from popping a post on whilst things bake! 

So without further ado! 

Above on the left we have our Chunky-Dunk Shortbread! Lovely and crunchy on the outside, but soft and buttery on the inside with a sprinkle of sugar, plus there thick slices of shortbread and not thin! Perfect. 

On the right we heave some hearty Nutella muffins, these we're later covered in big helpings of Nutella but I sadly couldn't get a pic quick enough, as they all got eaten! 

Some cute, teeny, tiny flower sugar cookies! Perfect for something to nibble on or a mini snack! It made LOADS! (They we're small though!) 

Here we  have some 'Stained glass' Sugar cookies! I loved making these as a kid and still love making them now! Beautiful to make as decorations for the tree at Christmas or even just to bake and hold up near a window (Like I did, as you can see) Reminded me of my childhood, even though I'm not that old, but you get what I mean! ;)

And that's it for now, well, for this post anyway! I will do another little post, sadly it will be a belated update I'm afraid. But non the less, there will be an update! 

Bake soon, much love,

I'm Back!

Hi Everyone! 

As the title says, I'm back! Did you miss me? 

Sorry i've not been on here for a while, a close family member passed away so we've been kind of kept busy or distant you might say. But I'm back now, slowly getting back into things, god job I have my baking ey? (Bit of Sheffield for you there haha) 

I'm currently typing this up on the Mac and honestly, I prefer using my windows laptop, they keys on the board are a bit meh, whereas the ones on my laptop (Lappy) are much speedier and free to move! 

Anywho! There has been some things happening since the last time I posted but not much, when I say that I mean there isn't a lot of back log - Which is GREAT! So onwards and upwards with the updates! 

So here is the second rose I ever made for college, it was supposed to go on my cake but I gave it to my Nan :') Which she loved, I wanted to give her the first ever roses that I made, but sadly she might not of been here when I would get my moderation date. 

Speaking of Moderation! It's in May! May!! Ahh I can't believe I finish my first year soon, god that's gone so quick even to say it's one lesson a week, it's still gone super quick. I will be sad to go. But when it's my last lesson, I shall do a post with EVERYTHING I have made in that year, which will  be good as I can see my progression.  Don't worry though, I'll be doing level 2 and 3!

So yeah, that's my rose! I've been looking forward to making these for a while, I'm still not perfect with them but I'm getting there, love making them though, it's so relaxing! 

Another thing from college that I made was Mike Wazowski! I mean look how cool he looks! Doesn't he just look fab? 

I love him to pieces and enjoyed making every bit of him, it was great fun and a new thing I learnt. I will attempt to make Sully one day! Plus Monsters Inc. Is my favourite film in the whole wide world an love it to bits! Would love to make a little Boo - Sugarpaste that is! Haha

More posts to come soon, may be a little bit of a spam - Only a small one! But I will try my best to keep them down. 

Much love, as always!

For All Your Information

Hi Everyone, please read the below message:

Just to let everyone know things may seem to get a bit quite in the next few weeks, so there may not be much posting going on through either sites or pages. But I will let you know when I'm back up to scratch. I don't want any of you to think I'm ignoring you or just can't be bothered to post because that is not the case. Going through some things at the moment but will be back. 

There may be some little posts from time to time but not as much, we're not going anywhere though, so please be patient with us, we're still here, we are NOT shutting down the page or anything, just a brake. I will however post the rest of my college work in the folders. 

Thank you all very much for sticking with us, 

Much love as always,

how I've decided to tackle it! 

Here are the little Valentine's Day treats that we're made :) Chocolate shortbread cookies sandwiched together with Banana milkshake flavoured buttercream, then rolled in pink love heart sugar sweets. So Cute and yummy! They're based around the chocolate foam banana sweets!

We also made this loaf of Poppy-seed bread, I decided to score it this time and I'm so that that I did and I feel it looks so much better! Tasted lovely toasted with a lovely slab of butter melting away on top! Yummy! :P 

Sadly, I forgot to take a pic of the bread after I took it out of the pan (and before Sam got his hands on it!) But I'm very happy with it.  

Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day and if not, just remember we're always here for you too take a peek into our world and we will always be here, waiting with open arms haha. I will do some more updates later on today of older posts!
