Winter Sparkle...

Happy New Year my Poppyseeds followers!

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year!

The last month has been so hectic, I've been busy planning and preparing for Christmas and New Year celebrations as well as spending quality time with friends, family and of course, my Kenwood!

I had a fabulous Christmas, as did Poppyseeds! Busy baking Cupcakes for Christmas presents, birthdays and for festive parties from Christmas gift boxes to individual Cupcakes. This Christmas has been so busy, when I have been baking I have failed miserably to take many photos! However I do have a few to share with you, here are some of Poppyseeds glittering Candy Cane Cakes...

Poppyseeds festive Candy Cane Cupcakes were made from Vanilla sponge and raspberry frosting with edible snowflakes, edible glitter and miniature candy canes. 

You can't celebrate christmas with out a little bit of santa so here are a few photos of Poppyseeds Santa Claus Cakes...

Poppseeds Santa Claus Cupcakes were made using vanilla sponge, and green coloured frosting, edible glitter and my favourite iced Santa faces! How cute!!

Poppyseeds also made some festive green glittery snowflake cakes...

These little gems were made using vanilla sponge, green frosting, edible glitter and white edible snowflakes. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!


Who else has been baking this Christmas?

Birthday with Blueberries...

This week I have been busy baking Birthday Cupcakes made with Vanilla sponge, topped with Blueberry butter icing and finished off with pretty edible daisies!

The fresh blueberry butter icing was so tasty, fruity and creamy! Keep an eye on my blog for the recipe. 

I have a busy couple of weeks of baking ahead of me, with birthday party orders, Christmas Cupcake gift boxes and something special for an upcoming winter ball in aid of  the Macmillan Cancer trust. Lots to do and lots of delicious cakes to bake!

I'm also starting to feel festive, it's getting that little bit colder outside, my winter coat is out, hats and gloves on stand by and there are lots of fun, festive, christmas fayres to attend...I can't wait!
