Through the wonders of the internet or more specifically Facebook I have made contact with friends lost over the years. Some people I may know more about now then I did 10 years ago in high school, yes I'm old it's my 10 year reunion this year :P
(My first cupcake attempt for my Mum's birthday July 2008)
1 1/2 years ago I posted my very first cupcake photos on Facebook...they where shocking! But at the time I was still learning and had no idea of the endless cupcake possibilities. I also had a newborn son, so the fact I could even find the energy to bake a batch of cupcakes was amazing in itself. The response from my first photos was amazing, so many friends said such lovely things that I continued to add my cupcake photos and I really tried to improve my skills. I think all of that wonderful positive feedback is what has pushed me to continue with my passion of baking and decorating, the fact I could share with EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.
Cookies & Cream and Jaffa Cupkates
Over the last month I have been inundated with friends asking me to bake special treats for them, I am simply amazed. I don't know what it is about cupcakes, childhood memories? sugar rush? soft fluffy cakes? but everyone wants some! So this past weekend I made some cupcakes for an old friend, who without Facebook we probably would have never crossed paths again.
Facebook and Cupkates, bringing people together!
Happy Caking everyone,
Here are some cupkates I made for an old work collegue. She had a work mate returning from overseas and wanted some Australian themed cuppies.
They took me a little (OK a lot!) more time to make then I had anticipated, but I really like the painted effect.
The echidna is definitely my favourite, so cute!
The flavours where jaffa and cookies & cream again...can't go past a winner and my new favourites!
Happy Caking everyone,
