15th Birthday Cake

Evie's 15th Birthday cake request was for blue frosting.....so that's what she got. Magnolia Cupcake cake recipe baked as two levels and stuck together with buttercream frosting and covered with sprinkles from Crate and Barrel served on my diner cake stand! Washed down with Babycham. ( Again taken me such a long time to upload!)

Magnolia Bakery New York City 2008 trip

Taken me so long to upload these photos and post but once again another visit to Magnolia and really it never fails to delight. This time it was around Thanksgiving and there were Thanksgiving cupcakes to be had. Always fun, always enjoyable and I love being able to look through the window at the bakers inside.....

Ok - so we tried our best - this is what Evie requested and this is what she got. Mow Mow. The cat with the lazer beam eyes.

All the Fun of The Fair

Just off Carnaby Street there is a little arcade of interesting shops in Kingly Court. All the Fun of The Fair is a haberdashers with a fabulous display of crocheted and knitted cakes in the window - it looks so beautiful and so real - my favourite that Easter were the hot cross buns.

Ramona's Cupcakes

This March on our yearly meet-up in New York my friend Jilly had asked a work colleague to make some of her cupcakes to bring for us.
These were made by Ramona and travelled all the way from South Carolina to New York - and wow they were fabulous.
Italian Creme, Chocolate on Chocolate and Carrot Cake flavours, with our names piped across the top. Getting them through airport security was a challenge, not because of them being cake and not allowed, but because all the security people wanted to eat them.
Ramona, thankyou! Jilly - well guarded! xx


Ramona says.....

Jane,
Thank you for showing my cupcakes in this manner. I really feel special and honored that my friend, Jill asked me to bake these for her trip to meet you and the other ladies.
I don't take pictures of my baked goods. This will be some of the first pictures that I have besides the pictures of "The Traveling Cupcakes" that Jill sent to me during the trip to New York. I am glad that you enjoyed them enough to put them on this site. Next year, you will have to try my key lime cupcakes. They are my favorite now. I hope to one day meet you.

Pinkest Witch Cup Cakes

These wonderful creations are by a facebook friend of mine, Klare Bailey who is in the early stages of setting up a cupcake business. They look so pretty and delicious. I love the dark chocolate sprinkles on the swirly pink and the lilac hundreds and thousands on that soft chocolate brown. They have a vintage charm about them. These flavours were chocolate, lemon ( they are actually the pink ones) and vanilla and raspberry and were made especially for the Christening of Klare's second niece. Good Luck Klare! Now I want to taste!
