I have been a naughty little blogger... last update was in August! Rest assured though I've been cooking up a storm. Among other things I've been building up a repertoire of cakes and cupcakes for my cake venture, and I've sold a couple of cakes to friends! But don't tell the tax office.
These lovely creations were actually all made in January. After the Queensland Floods some of the shopkeepers of Leura decided to hold a cake stall to raise money, and I made this to donate. And photograph. 
The animal prints were a design from the Planet Cake Cupcakes book, as were my Comic Book Cliches. The latter were actually an altered version from the book, they started with speech bubbles but i added the comic book twist because I wanted a boy design.
The roses were made in a mould I already had, I was going for a shabby chic vintage cupcake with those. And the two tone buttercream (which was actually the easiest of the designs) was a technique I'd been wanting to try out for a while.
Overall I must say very pleased, though my piping clearly needs work. Those letters in the speech bubbles are really wonky! I just hope they raised some money for my Queensland bretheren.
