I made some dark chocolate cupcakes last night for a friend's 23rd Birthday party tonight. Then spent quite some time dying coconut and making googly eyes out of buttons and chocolate chips!
I've not made my buttercream just yet, it's a bit of a rush as I'm at work now and I've to make these when I get home and then head straight over!
I hope it doesn't take too long!
Here's what I have so far, will post the finished picture tomorrow morning hopefully

Thank you!
Hopefully they'll look the part! First time making cupcakes, I'm not a big cake person but the cupcake is really rich but very light at the same time, super lovely! Can't wait to get them finished.
My mum's making Little Miss Naughty cupcakes aswell so will post up some of her pics aswell!

well Happy Constructing!! I find this part is more time consuming than the actual baking but thats all part of the fun & love seeing the finished product after all the hard work!
looking forward to the pics. Enjoy!
I made a daffodil cake & cupcakes for Daffodil Day today, must post some pics over the wkend. have a good one!0 -
Ok so here are my cupcakes completed!!
I was really happy with them and they were a mega hit at the party.
Everyone said it was surprising they tasted very nice as things that look nice usually don't taste good? Which I found an unusual compliment but a compliment I'll happily take! :pac:
It was my first time ever making cupcakes so I am pretty pleased with how they came out.
It's also my little sister's 13th Birthday today and we all thought we'd be crippled with a request for a Justin Bieber themed cake, but she really liked the cupcakes I was making so she asked if my mum could make her a Cookie Monster cake!
So there's a picture of that too! 0 -

Wow, thank you everyone for the kind compliments!
I really enjoyed them and trust me they are easy as pie to make as long as you put time aside for all of the little time consuming components.
I spent the night with a friend and we decided to go to Tesco's at an exceptionally late hour to pick up ingredients to bake a Dutch Apple Pie!
Strange angle for a picture I know, but it turned out well!
Successful baking week!
Faith your cupcakes are stunning and so bold! Cupcake with cupcake! :pac:0 -

So I made a cake-pop bunch of flowers for my Mam yesterday...they went down a treat! (Bad pic, camera phone with bad lighting, tasty pops though!)
I got the cute pink bucket in Tescos, they are an easter thing, only 1.40, I used kebab skewers for the pop sticks and the recipe was melted mars bars mixed in with the choc cake crumbs covered in milk and white choc.
Still haven't perfected the assembly method, but they were yummy and she loved them, so I'm happy. 0 -

Chocolate biscuit cake is a non bake cake, also known as refrigerator cake due to where it sets It is a genuinely lovely thing when you eat a decent one made with decent quality chocolate, if cheap/cooking/Dairy Milk is used in it it's hideous. It's popular for weddings because it's so different and a total trend cake, it's easy to serve in finger food slices if wanted, and it lasts longer than madeira etc.
People like the novelty of it, you can add almost any chocolate/sweets you like, maltesers, different biscuits, crunchie, marshmallows etc. I actually really love it, but rarely make it for my own personal on nom nom-ing because I know how much butter goes into it so I can't bring myself to eat much of it
The odlums recipe for it is very good, never eat one that is pale in colour, that suggests chocolate with a low cocoa solids content has been used, I mix 75% chocolate with good quality milk chocolate and it's a lovely rich brown colour, with a mix of Rich Teas and Digestives, it really is delicious!
A lot of people don't like fruit cake and a lot of other cakes so it can be a great option for them.0 -

Cheers for the insight!
Myself and my mother made a lovely one with malteser's and a marshmallow "frosting" we then toasted. It was just a bit hilarious to cut! :pac:
I think anything that uses cheap/cooking chocolate is pretty woeful. Good thing I'm in the habit of only using milk chocolate that contains more than 35% cocoa solids and regular chocolate with a minimum of 60%
I guess I just couldn't imagine anyone icing one like the traditional wedding cakes. Could it be done in white chocolate?
I must just be super old fashioned when it comes to wedding cake 0 -
We had a biscuit cake decorated with white chocolate for our wedding. It was so scrumptious and looked great. I suppose it all depends on what you do or don't like. Neither of us like fruit cake and I don't like fondant icing so it was perfect for us.

Just finished these for the Easter weekend with my mother and sister.
I can't take any credit for anything bar the decorating of the Big Bird cupcakes which were an absolute bloody NIGHTMARE!
Fun though! Happy enough with the turn out!!
