Red Velvet

Okay, so I know I've made these before but on the weekend I bought a star nozzle and I really really wanted to try and do rose like frosting! So this was my second attempt (first were the caramel cupcakes) and I think it went pretty well! Need to practise some more but not bad!!

Lemon Meringue

These cupcakes were made for Danielle, a last minute order last night! Luckily I had all the stuff in so I whipped these up! Just wanted to show you the picture of them in their boxes! I'm so proud of my cupcakes! They look lovely :)

Caramel Pecan Cupcakes

So these cupcakes were ordered by a Mr Mark Prowicz, a friend of mine from work. I had never made caramel before and for my first attempt I think it went pretty well! This cupcake consists of a vanilla sponge with chopped pecans, filled with homemade caramel sauce and topped with a caramel buttercream and finally drizzled with homemade caramel sauce! These cupcakes were really fun to make and not as hard as I thought, I don't know if the sauce was just beginners luck but I was very worried it was going to go all wrong but luckily it didn't! I will definitely be making these again and will be lovely to make them for any of you readers!

Chocolate and Coconut Cupcakes

So when I made the Lilt inspired cupcakes and the coconut frosting was so nice I thought it would be yummy to make Bounty inspired cupcakes!  It consists of a chocolate and coconut cupcake topped with creamy coconut frosting topped with melted chocolate and sprinkled with dessicated coconut! It was a really nice combination and really easy to make!

Neapolitan Cupcakes

This idea was from Gaynor Jackson, my old manager in work, so we can thank her for her geniusness!! This cupcake was really tasty, full of flavour and bursting with colours. It consists of a strawberry, vanilla and chocolate cupcake topped with a pink and white vanilla buttercream. When I make these cupcakes again I will definitely use bigger cupcake cases as there was a bit too much frosting on these but that was my fault for getting too carried away with my piping bag!!

Also, you may notice the frosting is two tone! :) Now I was amazed but how good it looks and I couldn't work out how to do it! So I had a look on Google and I was so shocked at how 

simple it really is!!! All you need is each frosting in a seperate piping bag, and put those inside another piping bag with a nozzle and squeeze til you get a even spread and pipe away!! So simple!!

Here is a pic of the individual cupcake from both sides to see the two tone frosting :) 

 

Also, here is what the cupcake looked like cut in half!!

HEAVEN!

OMG.

So I just made me and Conner a cup of tea. And grabbed a Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcake for us to share. 

I took a bite and it was absolutely AH-MAZING! 

I have to say that this is the best cupcake I have ever made. The meringue really sets it off and the lemon is tart but not too tart, just perfect!

OOF it is stunning and I'm so proud to say it!

Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcakes

So these cupcakes I had the idea for a while back, something that just popped into my head when I was trying to think of pies I could turn into a cupcake! 

It consists of a lemon flavoured cupcake, filled with lemon curd, topped with meringue and blowtorched for that pie look!

I haven't tried one of these yet as I only made them about an hour ago but my brother Curtis tried one and said it was stunning - and Curtis is very very hard to please when it comes to food so I'm assuming I've done well!!! These cakes were alittle bit more work to do that normal cakes as you have to make a meringue - but on the other hand, if you have a stand mixer its not as bad :)
