Gloverly Cupcakes

I was asked to create a cake for one of the Mum’s from Chloe’s old pre-school for her new baby daughters Christening. She had several ideas but was undecided on exactly what she wanted. So I designed a cake based on a few separate ideas that hopefully ticked all the boxes! Click here to see more pics of this gorgeous girly cake.

I really enjoy making peonies, especially large one, they create a wonderful statement on a cake. I picked some pink and peach tones and used the colours to make some extra little flowers to go on the cake as well as buying various sized pink and white pearl balls.

The cake itself was a chocolate cake and I was asked for raspberry buttercream, so I decided to try a flavoured icing sugar. I have read loads of good things about Sugar and Crumbs flavoured icing sugars, so I was really excited to try one out. And it didn’t disappoint! I bought the raspberry ripple flavour and it really tasted just like raspberry ripple ice cream. I can’t wait to try some of the other flavours.

I had a really lovely email after the cake was collected – ‘Oh Becky, the cake is stunning, everything I wanted and so much more, thank you a million times over and for taking my very vague brief and turning it into something so special!’
