Birthday Dilemmas

So it's like this...

... This weekend I get to see one of my most closest cousins whom I love dearly, we've always been so close & stayed in touch since childhood even though we've probably not actually seen each other in approx 22 years!

Shocking I know, but we're always chatting via FB, txt... Used to be pen n paper but how times change eh?!

Now my cousin is always commenting on my status's n page & as she will be turning 36 on Friday I must do an ultra special cake for when she is here to celebrate her birthday in style (she's like the lil sister I never had) but I'm having so many dilemmas as to what to do?!

My first thought was a rainbow cake, as I've been wanting to do one for a while now... But that would just be vanilla or lemon sponge - plain, simple flavoured.

My second thought was a toffee, mocha, chocca cake... Similar style to a rainbow with 4 layers or so but each layer a different flavour: vanilla, toffee, coffee, chocolate - mmmmm, indulgent flavours.

The third thought was a giant chocolate cupcake... As I've not done a giant for a while so it would be busy awesome to do a chocolate overload giant - perfectly chocoholic!

My final thought is just a simple rich chocolate sponge to celebrate the birthday & then do some different flavored cuppiecakes to take to bestie's karaoke on Sunday night so we can have a variety of flavours to enjoy!

What to do?! I've no idea & keep changing my mind (it's a womans prerogative) so what would you do???

Holiday themed Cupcakes & Bright Cake Pops

Well, I have 2 x 5" Christmas Cakes, 2 x 6" Christmas Cakes & 2 x 8" Christmas Cakes to marzipan, regal ice & decorate this week but the reason I am blogging is the delights that the end of the week hold in store for my adopted daughter Alison...


It is her 25th Birthday on Friday 23rd & as I love her so very much & she is spending her birthday with us at karaoke I thought it only right that I should make some Cupcakes for the occasion. Now she has decided that seeing as she never has a summer birthday the theme of her celebrations is: Hawaiian so the Cupcakes will be adorned with bright coloured buttercream & topped with a cupcake icing disc with a beachy/Hawaiian themed picture!  But what flavours shall the cupcakes be?! Pina Colada, Margarita, Mojito, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mango, Banana, Lime, Coconut... the list is endless of what flavours to choose, Alison, what 2 flavours would you like hunni?!


Now, as Alison is soooo very important to me I am also going to try to find the time to make some bright funky Cake Pops too... I am thinking of making these in plain vanilla but covered in strawberry & orange chocolate with contrasting bright patterns on them - what do you think babe?!  I just want to make it a little special for you.


Well, only a little cakey blog today... but I suppose it is better than nothing?! Until next time cake fans!!!
