One of my colleagues, Jacqui, is getting married this week. As Friday was her last day at work, I made her some cupcakes as a celebratory gift.
The cupcake recipe and buttercream icing recipe that I used are from The Primrose Bakery, and are available here. This has become my go-to recipe for vanilla cupcakes and buttercream, as I get the most consistent results with this cupcake recipe and it tastes lovely, while the buttercream is pleasant tasting and minus the greasy mouth-feel.
To make the fondant decorations, I started a few days ahead so that they would dry, and used this mould. I then dusted the lovebirds with gold lustre dust:
and the hearts with pink shimmer dust:
and placed the finished cakes in a professional looking cakebox that I sourced online:

A girl can never have enough butter cream I always say:) People just don't use as much any more and that is such a shame.
Your creative cupcakes are a show stopper Cake Law, I'm sure your colleague was more than delighted!
