Free from gluten, eggs & lactose cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for a friends son who is allergic to well pretty much everything. I got the recipie for the cake online from food.com and just used stork margarine and icing sugar for the butter cream frosting. I was quite nervous about the taste of the cakes as they are made from very few ingredients but they actually tasted really nice so I would highly recommend giving them a try😊

18th Birthday cake

I made this cake as a favour to a friend for a 18th birthday party. The brief she gave me was yellow, lemon and glitter lol. Hopefully this is what she had in mind. I made a lemon sponge with lemon butter cream and lemon curd. The cake was covered in white sugar paste. I made the ribbons and lettering by colouring the left over white sugar paste with melon colouring gel (I covered some of the lettering in gold edible glitter). The bows were made from floral paste using the same colour. I made the daisies with a daisie sugar craft cutter purchased from ebay.

DIY shabby chic furniture

Having one of a kind beautiful furniture doesn't have to be expensive. These are just a few of the pieces of furniture I have dotted around my house that I have picked up for an absolute bargain and painted myself using either Annie Sloan chalk paint or Farrow & Ball paint (I find Annie sloans easier to work with) You can buy pieces of furniture like this already painted but the will cost you triple the amount, if not more. So I suggest DIY 😊
