Pink cupcakes and violet cupcakes.
Pink cupcakes and violet cupcakes this week – the pink ones are chocolate with vanilla buttercream – and the violet ones are made with violet syrup – it has a really gentle, floral flavour – not as strong as the lavender but much more vividly coloured! No food colouring in the cakes or buttercream at all!
Ladybird, ladybird.
Another raspberry and vanilla cake on the weekend. The move away from chocolate cake must mean that spring is round the corner. This ladybird is actually a mini cake on top of the large cake.
The website works
The Lavender Bakery website is fully functional!! It took time but it was worth it!
My birthday – many cupcakes.
It was my birthday on Wednesday – so, of course, I made my own cake (raspberry vanilla cake with raspberry mascarpone filing and vanilla buttercream) I promptly forgot to take pictures of it – but it all got eaten so that was a good sign! It contained half a kilo of raspberries – there is no point thinking of getting someone else to make cake’s for me – too much of a good opportunity to try something out. I fully intend to make my own wedding cake next year.
I also made dozens of cupcakes this week – some with blue dots that I delivered to Soho on my birthday…and a butterfly shaped cake for Lulah.
