A New Chapter

So I haven't written a blog in nearly a year but Thursday is my last ever class at uni so now that I'm finished with that I'm going to start putting all my spare time into growing my business and I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't got a graduate job lined up or anything which everyone seems to be worrying about apart from me! I've never been the organised type, and I'm just doing what feels like the right thing for me at the moment. So, as I said a lot of my spare time will be put into expanding Sweetie Cupcakes. I've got a few things lined up so far but I'm keeping that a secret for now! Because I haven't blogged in sooooooo long, I have a ton of pictures of cakes that I have made over the past year so here's a selection of my favourites :) 

This was the giant cupcake I made for my Dad's birthday. It was my first time making animals out of fondant and I was really pleased with how they turned out.

A chocolate ladybird cake made for one of the cutest wee girls I know. I loved making this cake and it was filled with lots of yummy ganache

This was made for a hairdressers opening night. It was a big of a last minute cake but it turned out well!

This one was for my Auntie Frances' birthday. I wanted to try making a bow out of fondant and it had little cracks  in it but good for a first attempt :)

This cake travelled to Edinburgh. I love the red and white colours here.

New baby cupcakes! I ordered molds to make baby hands and feet (sounds creepy!) but they never arrived in time so these were improvised.

Cute little octopus!

This was the first giant cupcake I ever made, it took 3 attempts to get it right!

These were my cupcake bouquets for Mother's day. It was the busiest day/night I have ever had because I got loads of orders for these!

More Mother's day cupcakes

Mini egg cupcakes for Easter! I loved these because I put a mini egg into the middle of the sponge so when the cupcake was hot there was a melted chocolate egg in the middle, yum!

So that was a small selection of my favourite cupcakes since my last blog...there's tons more photos on my facebook page

Another thing I am going to start doing once my exams are over is trying a new recipe every week (maybe every 2 weeks) so that I can put together a menu of more exciting flavour combinations... so watch this space!
