I came home from work today only to find my daughter in the kitchen baking up a storm :) It is the first week of school holiday and as usual whenever she has free time she really enjoys baking, so this is one of her clever creations, she made an orange & raspberry cupcake all by herself and my hubby and I thought the rainbow design was so cute and so creative ;-) This is how I found her as i arrived home, in the kitchen with baking in progress... When the cupcakes are out and cooled, these are the stuff for the decorating that she prepared earlier. The finished result, she was so proud of her creations :) I can honestly say that its not only cute, it taste so scrumptious and super delicious! Yummm! :P And of course my boy is more than happy to 'try' the cupcake (he loves the rainbow part) lol :) Its only the first week of school holiday...i have a feeling that there may be more baking to come in the next couple of weeks :)

My lovely daughter wanted to have chocolate cupcake and i told her to look thru our recipe book and just make whatever cupcakes she wants. She made all these cupcakes by herself and it was so delicious! So proud of her for trying out a recipe all on her own :) If you are into dark chocolate... this is definitely the cupcake for you. Here she is right after she finished putting the finishing touches on the chocolate buttercream :) And of course my boy is the first 'cupcake tester' just to make sure it taste yumm :P Will be posting the recipe for this yummy dark chocolate cupcake in the recipe section a bit later. So proud of her sweet creations :) Have a great weekend everyone! ;-)
Its Claudia's first year at school camp and she is very excited :) Each year her school do a cupcake fundraising to support the team of people that are involved in organizing camp and to keep the cost down as well. So this is the first year we get to participate as its Claudia's first year at camp. We were going to do dark chocolate cupcakes but Claudia said that there will be too many others that will do chocolate cupcakes, so we decided to stick with our usual lemon cupcakes ;) We wanted to do something different with the icing so we tried a different buttercream recipe and we also wanted to do a two tone icings, with 2 colours swirling on top of the cupcakes. Claudia chose the colours, she wanted turquoise & purple. Here are the cupcakes... We made a couple of dozen of cupcakes but the school only wants a dozen from each student that goes to camp, so we get to keep the left over....yummmm! ;-) Here are the cupcakes, fresh out of the oven To make the two tone icing, firstly we divided the buttercream into 2 bowls and colour the icing with the gel food colouring and then put each colours in it two separate piping bags. Then grab a bigger piping bag and put the two separate icings into one bag. Here is a visual for you - Ps: Claudia was the hand model lol :P We used Wilton 2D piping tips to make the swirls and then Claudia put some colourful sugar pearls on top of the icing to make them look prettier. Here is what it looks like up close & personal :) That was it, she took some to school for the fundraising and it was the first batch that was gone :) Hope everyone is having a great relaxing weekend! ;-)
