coming up...

no new baked goods to report, i am saving all of my baking energy and ideas for my next bonnie gordon class on May 1st, cupcake bouquets! i will learn piping techniques to make frosting look like real flowers, i can hardly wait! xo

cupcakes for a cause

mmm rainbow velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting :) i baked these this weekend to be sold at a bake sale for a good cause. i hope they've raised a lot of money! i had some issues with the frosting, it didn't come together as well as it has in the past, i will have to investigate this further. they still taste great! three colours of 'red' velvet cake, all the same flavor. i will definitely try this again in the future! xo

G.I.rls night cupcakes

we had another fab G.I.rls (girls) night on wednesday in honour of a baby and an award within our division at work. i brought some cosmopolitan cupcakes! the recipe called for 15 cosmopolitans :) so my first stop for ingredients was to the LCBO. they were well received! this was definitely a fun recipe and worth repeating xo

official easter cupcakes

better late than never! here are the easter cupcakes i made last weekend for our easter sunday dinner. i decided on two flavors, coconut and lemon and made regular size as well as mini cupcakes. they were good, even though i messed up the coconut ones and forgot to add the third egg ;) i had more fun with my grass piping tip and i attempted to 'stripe' the piping bag for the lemon cupcakes and it turned out alright. i am on the waiting list for the next decorating class so fingers crossed and we may have some cupcake bouquets in the future! xo
