Crazy mama

that's me. Undoubtedly.

Not only do I have a ridiculous amount of sewing to do, I have volunteered to make pretty cupcakes for my nephew's baptism this weekend. So, am I a pro cake decorator?? Errrm, no. Am I a somewhat competent cake decorator? Errrm, no. Have I ever used fondant before? Hell, no. Exactly how much experience do I have with cake decorating?? Well, none, now that you mention it.....

I have this lovely vision in my head of perfectly baked, perfectly symmetrical, perfectly decorated cupcakes, and I am sure the reality just cannot live up to this dream.

But we shall see! I'm going to give it a red-hot go. At least I'll have a delicious time trying :)

  4. Hey carly - I can actually bake, so I'm doing them from scratch, I'm just not entirely sure about my decorating ability. I'm fine for home, but this is an 'occasion' - nervous!!! Oh well, at least they'll be made with love. Plus, Henry is only 3 months old so he'll have no idea :)

  5. I'm sure they'll appreciate that you're making something from love, it really is the thought (and effort!) that counts. And don't forget to lick the bowl!
