Birthday Cupcakes

Been a little while since I last posted but I have made some little beauties I wanted to share- two giant Birthday cupcakes :)
For the first, I adapted a Victoria sponge cake recipe for the giant pink cupcake, so sponge is Victoria sponge and filled with strawberry jam and cream, then topped with strawberry flavoured icing.
The giant chocolate one is chocolate sponge filled with white, milk and dark chocolate chips, then chocolate ganache in the centre and topped with chocolate icing :) coronary cupcakes...

New Year and New Year Cupcakes

Hey all,

Happy New Year! I've made these New Year cupcakes before but have altered them a bit from the original recipe.
They are champagne flavoured in the recipe, but I have altered it so the sponge of the cupcake is champagne and strawberry flavoured, with pieces of dried strawberry in, while the icing of the cupcake is champagne, strawberry and vanilla flavoured instead of purely champagne :) decorations are glitter, flowers and polka dots, from Hey Little Cupcake (in Manchester) and Sainsbury's.
Pictures are underneath. They are currently housed in a snazzy little cupcake carry-case thing but my lovely friend also got me an adorable cake stand for Christmas. Think I'm starting to get a bit pigeon-holed...

I'm thinking my next big bake might deviate from cupcakes as I seem to have made hundreds in the past month or so. Next on the horizon, maybe a cheesecake or another banoffee pie? Or I might invest in a Hummingbird Bakery book and see what inspiration can be found there.

Peace out x
