Wedding cookie favours

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I have decided to have a stall at a little wedding expo that is being held here in July.  It’s still a way off but I have started to get some things together.

This is my first one which I gave as a thank you to someone I recently did a wedding cake for. I really like the black and white - its very striking. My favourite is the next black and white wedding/bridesmaid dress.

I’m trying to get some interesting flavours for decorated cookies. Most people seem to go with vanilla sugar or gingerbread. I have to admit that is mainly what I do. I’m thinking of trying lime and poppy seed, orange and cardamon, vanilla and mint…love to know any other ideas, there has to be more than vanilla and gingerbread out there.

Having said that though, the vast majority of my orders are for vanilla sugar cookies with vanilla icing. But maybe I can come up with something tempting.

And of course, what’s a wedding without a pink bridesmaid’s dress.

Garden cupcakes

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I have just finished a batch of vanilla cupcakes for a morning tea with friends. It’s beautiful weather here so I thought a flower theme would be nice. I love little cupcake roses and I do them whenever I can.                     

These ones of course are everyone’s favourite. My favourite are the little blue ones next. They are made with melted fondant icing which is really yummy. At least I think so.

Too many to choose from. So much for my diet (or anybody else’s in fact).

This is totally unrelated to garden cupcakes but as I was flicking through different sites, I came across the cutest cupcake topper - a retro baby - from cupcakeswirl.com

 

Wouldn’t you just love to put that baby on top of a cake! I haven’t seen them out here but when I do!!!!
