Malteser Cupcakes

31st May, 2015 By: Cathcomment

If you follow me on Facebook you will have seen a picture I posted of some delicious looking cupcakes that I made recently, not once, but twice. They were that good!

You know I have a love of all things “malt” so when these Malteser Cupcakes appeared in my YouTube feed it was only a matter of weeks before they were whipped up in my kitchen.

Yes, this is yet another post that has stemmed from a YouTube video so I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought I spent all day watching YouTube (if I am honest, some days I do). The creator of this one is Cupcake Jemma who is in the UK and has a gorgeous looking shop by the name of Crumbs & Doilies in London which is on my list should I ever be lucky enough to get over there.

Milk and Cookies Cupcakes

18th May, 2014 By: Cath1 Comment

Quite a while ago, 2nd July 2012 to be exact, a very cute post appeared in my feed reader for some cupcakes. The post was by Steph from Raspberri Cupcakes, who inspired the Fruit Tingle Macarons, for her Milk and Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes.

I tend to decorate my cupcakes quite basic with my favourite rose swirl piping technique, but there are quite a few different cupcakes on my Pinterest board decorated with mini pancakes, various flowers, cream puffs and mini versions of baking equipment that I hope to try. These cupcakes are quite cute and really easy, plus you cannot beat this classic combination so I present these Milk and Cookies Cupcakes for your viewing pleasure.

Christmas 2013 – Christmas Tree Cupcake Cake

5th January, 2014 By: Cath

Christmas this year was hosted by the hubby’s parents which we were very excited about. We have hosted Christmas lunch for the previous two years, which was fun don’t get me wrong, but 2013 had its fair share of rough moments which left neither of us feeling very Christmas-y.

That didn’t get us out of a couple of jobs for Christmas lunch which were making the chicken, which the hubby was in charge of, and a cake for dessert to go with my mother-in-law’s Cassata (there is a law that Cassata has to be made each year for our family Christmas or there will be trouble). After changing my mind 500 times about what I was going to make, on Christmas Eve I decided to go with a common theme from this year of cupcake cakes and made a Christmas Tree Cupcake Cake.

19th Birthday Cupcake Cake

17th November, 2013 By: Cath

After my mother took some of the Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes into work, one of her colleagues asked if I would be interested in making nineteen of the cupcakes for her daughter’s nineteenth birthday.

When it got closer to the time, A asked if I could arrange the cupcakes in the shape of the number 19. After how pleased I was with how the Golf Course Cupcake Cake, having a go at another pull apart cupcake was something I was more than happy to do and so the 19th Birthday Cupcake Cake was created.

Golf Course Cupcake Cake

20th October, 2013 By: Cath

My father loves golf. Most weekends he would be at the golf club playing a round or being a part of the committee and whenever there was a tournament on TV he would be watching it no matter what time of the day or night it was. As much as he would try to get my brother and I to play as well, which we did a little when we were kids, it wasn’t until I was in high school that a group of my friends would play on a Friday afternoon after school. A couple of the guys played competitively, but the rest of us were pretty darn average… well probably less than average in all honesty. But we had fun.

I came across this golf course cupcake cake quite a while ago and pinned it until I had a chance to make it for dad. As it was his birthday in September, it was about time I made it.

Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

7th July, 2013 By: Cath11 Comments

One of my favourite flavour combinations in this world happens to be “cookies and cream”. Generally, if there is something cookies and cream flavoured I will try it at least once, whether it is chocolate (Hershey’s is my top pick), ice cream (Connoisseur is the ONLY brand as far as I am concerned) or as a cupcake.

Now I have tried a lot of cupcakes and am still yet to find my favourite so I thought it would be an opportune time to attempt my own Oreo cookies and cream cupcakes.

Red Velvet Cupcakes and My First Blogiversary

14th April, 2013 By: Cath6 Comments

Can you believe that on Wednesday it will be one year since I published the first post about My Best Friend’s Wedding Cake? It is just absolutely crazy.

So for my celebratory post on my first blogiversary (as those in the biz call it) I thought I would share the cupcakes that inspired the cake that inspired the blog. These red velvet cupcakes are always popular whenever I make them, so much so that I made over 300 of them one weekend for a bunch of my brother’s friends. I absolutely adore everything about them.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Rose Buttercream

3rd March, 2013 By: Cath5 Comments

Hi. My name is Cath, and I am a cupcake-a-holic.

As you may have gathered, I love to cook, and especially bake. I do love all kinds of baking, but at the end of the day, as much as I love macarons, cakes, biscuits and brownies, my true love is cupcakes. They are cute little packages of delight, sure to bring a smile to anyone’s dial. For years and years and years and years they have been my go to treat and a few of the many varieties I have made are lemon and lime, red velvet (it started the whole red velvet craze in my world), chocolate, lemon meringue and the trusty old vanilla. I love cupcakes that much that I have cupcakes on my dressing gown, apron, two bags, a tea towel and a cupcake shaped plate. I am also going to be getting a vinyl sticker for a wall in my kitchen that reads “love and cupcakes are all you need” after seeing a print that Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction received. So yes, a little obsessed over here.

So for my first foray back into the cupcake world after a long hiatus, I asked my friend C what her favourite chocolate bar was to inspire a cupcake for her birthday. Originally I was going to call these Turkish Delight cupcakes (as that was the answer to my question), and I guess I sort of can because the flavour is essentially there. But when you search for Turkish Delight cupcakes on the interweb, there usually is Turkish Delight in/on them. So I am going to go with the much longer name of Chocolate Cupcakes with Rose Buttercream. Phew!

O Canada!

1st July, 2012 By: Cath

A long time friend of the hubby is from Canada and kindly enough invited us to their Canada Day celebrations. Of course this means I found the perfect excuse to bake.
