The Beatles cupcakes

I was asked to create just one cupcake for a surprise to someones husband to be at their wedding this Saturday... he loves The Beatles!

I thought I would also make 4 cupcakes for my brother Phill's birthday tomorrow and post them to him as a surprise, as he is a massive fan also!

So here they are..

The stencils were made by hand and then I used black gel colour to paint the hair and mustaches, very time consuming and precise but they look quite good and very distinctively the fab four!

A Vintage Valentine's

I created a little vintage Valentine's tea party on Friday as I had created the new Valentine's cupcake collection. These are the cupcakes my customers will be creating on my Valentine's cupcake decorating workshop too. All the cupcakes are photographed using some of the vintage tableware we have available to hire.

Hope you enjoy the phohotographs
