Caribbean-themed cupcakes!! For an open house in the big city I'm creating 100 under-the-sea tropical treats - coconut cupcakes and buttercream icing, mmmm. I'm making little fish, starfish, palm trees, hibiscus and frangipani flowers out of royal icing and then painting them with food colouring to adorn my little cakes.
I don't have much to 'blog' about other than that I've decided to start my own cupcake business provoked out of numerous rejections from museums where my education came from, that and a B.A. in fine art. I have always loved to bake due to my overly sensitive sweet tooth and I'm a natural born artiste due to the genetics passed to me from my mumsy and opa and maybe a distant ancestor like Lady Jane Grey who as it turns out may possibly be related to my British heritage side. Anyway, all this to say that I ordered a Wilton cake decorating set and got to work with the 53 pieces creating mushy melting rose globules and then progressing to firmer more rosy roses - check out the evolution of my icing creations :)
