Cakes..... Cakes.... and more Cakes!

Soooo...... there is not much to update really. Except that I am starting to get sad....... I have just over two very short weeks left in Edinburgh! =( Excited for heading back home to learn some new things and hopefully improve my skills a little! But I also do not want to leave. It also means that my little run of selling my sweet treats in the awesome Brass Monkey and Herbies shall be coming to an end very soon too!

Sad times.
So on a lighter note here are some of the ones I have been making of late. Pretty pleased with how most of them turned out!

Sticky Toffee

This is one of my Favourite Desserts and I may have had one or two of these!?

Triple Chocolate

With a yummy Milky Way Magic Star on top!

Mint Chocolate

What a ridiculous colour for icing to be?!!

Strawberry and Clotted Cream

The sponge of these ones was made using ALOT of Clotted Cream. I dread to think how bad it is for you!

Til next time! =)

It is Official!!

So I have officially been granted my year long interruption from Uni! Yeay. I now have images of me in an apron *covered* in flour BUT with the biggest grin on my face. I cannot wait to finally get the ball rolling and figure out how and what I am going to do?!

In the mean time I have been selling some wee cupcakes in Brass Monkey on Drummond Street and in Herbie West End..... so  if you frequent either of these establishments you may well have seen some of these already!!!

Mocha Cupcakes

I have to admit..... these were delicious. The icing on top was made using milka chocolate...... it tasted the bomb.

Carrot Cupcakes

Looking all tempting for customers of the Brass Monkey! I may have shared one with one of the boys that works here, Carrot cake has got to be one of the best cakes anyone can make. So yum.

Basically, I shall be continuing to make and sell some cakes in both Brass Monkey and Herbies West End (If people keep buying them!!) until the end of the month when I am leaving Edinburgh =( But only temporarily! It is all very exciting and I can't wait for it to get even more fun! =)

Putting my Cupcakes out there into the big bad world!

So..... I was asked, very nicely, by a lovely friend of mine to make a pair of cupcakes as a little gift for a couple who just got married. I also had been asked my lovely local pub, Brass Monkey, if I fancied making some for them to sell aswell. I figure I can kill two birds with one stone right here. So I did.

My cupcakes were actually in a public area, in exchange for actual full on proper money, not just the stuff you get in Monopoly!! I hope that everyone who spent that little squid enjoyed them! So here they are, both normal and all 'fit for a newly married couple' looking.

Raspberry and White Chocolate

And looking all cute

Hopefully I shall be making some more to sell in the lovely Brass Monkey so if you like them....... give one a go!! =)
