19th Birthday Cupcake Cake
After my mother took some of the Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes into work, one of her colleagues asked if I would be interested in making nineteen of the cupcakes for her daughter's nineteenth birthday. When it got closer to the time, A asked if I could arrange the cupcakes in the shape of the number 19. After how pleased I was with how the…
Chocolate Cupcakes with Rose Buttercream
Hi. My name is Cath, and I am a cupcake-a-holic. As you may have gathered, I love to cook, and especially bake. I do love all kinds of baking, but at the end of the day, as much as I love macarons, cakes, biscuits and brownies, my true love is cupcakes. They are cute little packages of delight, sure to bring a smile to anyone's dial.…
Christmas 2013 – Christmas Tree Cupcake Cake
Christmas this year was hosted by the hubby's parents which we were very excited about. We have hosted Christmas lunch for the previous two years, which was fun don't get me wrong, but 2013 had its fair share of rough moments which left neither of us feeling very Christmas-y. That didn't get us out of a couple of jobs for Christmas lunch…
Golf Course Cupcake Cake
My father loves golf. Most weekends he would be at the golf club playing a round or being a part of the committee and whenever there was a tournament on TV he would be watching it no matter what time of the day or night it was. As much as he would try to get my brother and I to play as well, which we did a little when we were kids, it wasn't…
Malteser Cupcakes
If you follow me on Facebook you will have seen a picture I posted of some delicious looking cupcakes that I made recently, not once, but twice. They were that good! You know I have a love of all things "malt" so when these Malteser Cupcakes appeared in my YouTube feed it was only a matter of weeks before they were whipped up in my…
Milk and Cookies Cupcakes
Quite a while ago, 2nd July 2012 to be exact, a very cute post appeared in my feed reader for some cupcakes. The post was by Steph from Raspberri Cupcakes, who inspired the Fruit Tingle Macarons, for her Milk and Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes. I tend to decorate my cupcakes quite basic with my favourite rose swirl piping technique, but there…
O Canada!
A long time friend of the hubby is from Canada and kindly enough invited us to their Canada Day celebrations. Of course this means I found the perfect excuse to bake. Given the colours of Canada, I had to make red velvet cupcakes. With my Magnolia Bakery recipe in hand, I made a couple of batches of cupcakes in both red and white cupcake…
Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
One of my favourite flavour combinations in this world happens to be "cookies and cream". Generally, if there is something cookies and cream flavoured I will try it at least once, whether it is chocolate (Hershey's is my top pick), ice cream (Connoisseur is the ONLY brand as far as I am concerned) or as a cupcake. Now I have tried a lot of…
Red Velvet Cupcakes and My First Blogiversary
Can you believe that on Wednesday it will be one year since I published the first post about My Best Friend's Wedding Cake? It is just absolutely crazy. So for my celebratory post on my first blogiversary (as those in the biz call it) I thought I would share the cupcakes that inspired the cake that inspired the blog. These red velvet…
