Cake 23, Cupcakes from a Box

I followed instructions, and added sprinkles. Very sweet, very mixed, getting closer.

Cake 18, Christmas Cupcakes

It's been too hot to bake lately, but Lauren did make these amazing cupcakes the other day. The lurid icing ended up pooling in the middle of each cupcake...

Cake: A Retrospective

Since I was too busy sitting through an awful exam (bright side is that I will never have to read Pamela now), I didn't manage to make a cake. Bit of a fail for the 2nd day of my challenge, BUT I did learn how to make dumplings! Apparently I learnt fast :) The little couches for the little men to sit on weren't that neat, but they tasted pretty fab.
Anyhow, I thought I'd put up a picture of a cake that me and my friend made for another friend - it's the face of one of our lecturers. She was an awful lecturer, much better once rendered in cake form. Although to be honest, almost anything is better in cake form.

I think the snifters for eyes suit her. Incidentally, the cake I used was the vegan chocolate one. It's really nice when it's iced.

I'll be posting proper cakes (and more than one, to make up for yesterday) later on today, once I'm out of bed. It is my 21st birthday though, so I feel I can justify laziness :)
