It is a significant birthday for Derek today and as it has fallen during another’s period of lockdown, a box of cupcakes to share with friends on the doorstep seems the best solution. Derek loves his golf and has just bought a magnificent new BMW which is his pride and joy (after his wife of course). So I have personalised six squidgy chocolate and six zingy lemon cakes for the big day. Have fun Derek.
These little chaps are fun and make an ideal Christmas cheer up gift. Underneath the icing, half of these cupcakes are chocolate with ganache filling and half are lemon with zingy lemon curd, but they can be any flavour you like.
Mike has a big birthday today but we are in Lockdown again. No party allowed so Val wanted to surprise him with a box of cup cakes that could be left for his friends who would be dropping off cards and presents. They have just bought a motor home and Val wanted to theme the cakes accordingly. So here are a dozen elderflower and lemon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, each topped with a hand made sugar camper-van, complete with Mike’s initial and the registration plate. I left them outside for Mike to find this morning. Have a very happy day.
Val very kindly sent me this email almost before I had got home
Job done!
Val is self isolating at the moment. She asked me to make and deliver half a dozen cupcakes to help her friend celebrate his 90th birthday. So I made these scrummy vanilla cakes filled with jam and topped with cream cheese frosting, fresh fruit and a chocolate leaf. Val wrote me a lovely thank you note this morning.
Jan volunteered to make her grandson’s 4th birthday cake for a family party in lock-down. Sam requested pigs, so Jan asked if I could help with some little sugar pig faces to put on the top. That was fun! Jan sent me a picture of her finished cake.. certainly piggy!
Jessica wanted to treat her friend for a lock-down birthday. So she requested a dozen of these cup cakes, each filled with a spoonful of cherries and topped with pretty pink buttercream and a little sprinkle of glitter. All delivered safely.
A batch of lemon-filled, red, white and blue fairy cakes for our impromptu socially distanced VE Day street party today. Ideal for a sunny afternoon with a cup of tea and a nice chat. We had a great time
A quick batch of multicoloured unicorn cupcakes for Grace’s school fair. With golden horns, little pink ears and some gold glitter, they didn’t last long!
Lance’s wonderfully rich life was celebrated by his many friends this week as we bid him a final farewell. Golf was one of his many and varied interests, hence 110 almost identical themed cupcakes……
Florence asked me to make 36 yellow and blue cupcakes for her great nephew’s christening celebrations today. Here are a few of them. Hope it all goes well Florence.
