These cupcakes turned out to be amongst the prettiest I have made when coupled with The Cupcake Wrapper Co.‘s stunning Yellow Spot cupcake wrappers. They have some gorgeous designs available, the Pink Paris featuring the Eiffel Tower is one of my favorites. All the wrappers are made from card stock and are lightly laminated so you can use them over and over again! I also got to use my kitchen blow torch for the very first time which was extremely fun. Every kitchen should have one of these – I can now toast marshmallows whenever I like.
It’s been a busy festive season for me, starting early

By Susan, on October 24th, 2010  I seem to be going coconut crazy! Coconut chocolates, Coconut cupcakes …… I wonder if Coconut marshmallows would work? I made these Coconut Vanilla Cupcakes for a baby shower and topped them off with a green butter cream using a Wilton ‘grass and hair’ icing tip and lady bug chocolates. The grass was really effective and looked great. However, if you want even more coconut flavour sprinkle some shredded coconut on top

By Susan, on October 11th, 2010  Decorating cakes, cupcakes and cookies for kids, in my opinion has to be the best kind of decorating. You can have so much fun and the themes are limitless: pirates, fairies, bugs, bright colours and cuddly teddy bears, just to name a few. I have 2 1/2 baby nieces now so my cupcake decorating days have only just begun and I’m excited! Of course, you can frost these cupcakes with any kind of frosting, but I went for the classic banana chocolate combo and finished off with a brown and pink teddy bear theme.

I only recently became a Blueberry fan, mainly because they have always been fairly expensive in Australia and not that commonly used (compared to other parts of the world). But, after spending 2 months in New York during winter I absolutely fell in love with blueberries and ate them every chance I got….. hmmm…. blueberry pancakes and blueberry tart and bagels with blueberry cream cheese … drool….
They were slightly cheaper in the US ($3 a punnet), I must say I was expecting them to be a lot cheaper. Well I am back home now and have decided I am willing

The idea for these cupcakes came to me during the first bite of the Double Choc Cookie Cupcakes, the cupcakes have a hard cookie base and I thought they would make a great start to a “Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake”, so I added a vanilla cupcake batter, some stewed strawberries and a whipped cream top – Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes have been born!
I must say they are delicious! The cookie base adds a great texture and crunchiness to the cupcake (I know I will be using this idea over and over again in future creations) which marries so well with

Mmmmmm…. rich, chocolaty heaven with a biscuit base – what more could you ask for? These were also baked for my mum however I think she found the rich chocolate frosting on rich chocolate cupcake a bit of an overload. These aren’t for the faint hearted or half arsed chocoholic – these are hardcore chocolate cupcakes!
I had originally intended to make them “s’mores” cupcakes (graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow) and baked a couple of test cupcakes: one with a piece of marshmallow baked in the batter and the other with a bit of cake scooped out of the
