So sorry for not updating as often as I would love but I have been extremely busy; not only am I having to go through the terrible twos but I've just started a college course but still found time to bake ;)
It was my mum's birthday the other day and thus another reason to mess up the kitchen and create alot of cleaning was due for LOL
Fruit Birthday Cake with Chocolate Wafer
Fruit Birthday Cake with Chocolate Wafer:
Sponge: Vanilla
Filling: Fresh Cream and Fruit Cocktail
Covering: Fresh Cream
Topping: Strawberries, Mangos, Kiwi, Peaches and Blueberries
Border: Chocolate Wafer Biscuits
Extra(s): White Chocolate Plaque (Handmade)
This cake is just as lovely as my amazing mother :) It tasted good and is so pleasing to the eyes but I do think that we should of cut the wafer into the same length as it does look messy *sighs*
Anyways...

I have recently started to experiment with baking cupcakes and it has been so fun. Below are recent cupcakes I've made for the first time.
I saw a recipe online for Ferror Roche Cupcakes and decided to have a go. I didn't follow the recipe through 100% as I didn't want it to be too sweet nor did I want a chocolate overload!
Summers here so I have to watch my weight lol..
Ferror Roche Cupcake with Nutella Butter Icing
I really liked the taste of the Nutella Butter icing but I was dissappointed in the Ferroro Rocher in the middle.. The wafer bit had become soggy and not as crisp but the nuts gave it a lovely texture and luckily I didn't make it a chocolate sponge as the butter frosting was so sweet.
Here's the recipe I kinda followed http://cookiescupcakesandcardio.com/?p=4742.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo Butter Icing
I'm not a big fan of Oreo cookies (or any type of cookie xD) but my friend asked me to teach her how to bake Oreo Cupcakes for her boyfriend and so we did.. lol
The recipe I was meant to follow had a cream cheese frosting but I didn't have any so I made it into just butter icing with crushed Oreo biscuits.
I loved the taste of them as the bitterness of the Oreo's made the butter icing less sweet but I had so much trouble piping the icing on as some of the crushed Oreos would get stuck in the nozzle ¬¬
Here's the recipe I kinda followed: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/user/1871966/recipe/oreo-cupcakes
