Scrabble Biscuits and Birthday Cupcake Towers
Shortbread Scrabble Biscuits for someone's birthday...!
...and two 3-stacked-cupcake-stacks with vanilla butter icing, hundreds & thousands, candles and "Parti" bunting.
The recipe for these cakes can be found here.
Birthday Cupcakes!
Birthday Cupcakes
for 6 large deep-cased cupcakes:
100g butter
100g caster sugar
100g Self raising flour (MacDougalls Supreme Sponge four is best!)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons water or milk
Pre-heat the oven* to 180 c and line the muffin tray.
Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and pale in colour.
Add the vanilla essence and gradually beat in the eggs and flour. Finally beat in the milk or water.
Spoon in approximately 2-3 tablespoons of mixture into each case and sprinkle the tops with a little sugar.
Turn the oven down to 170 c and pop the cupcakes into the oven for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes I turn the tray and turn the oven up to 180-190 c then continue baking for another 12 minutes. Test the cupcakes with a knife- if it come out clean, they're ready to come out.
If you are using regular sized cupcake cases, this mixture will yield around 12 cakes and will likely take half the baking time; approximately 12-15 minutes.
Leave to cool, then ice! (I've used Royal icing and edible glitter to decorate these).
*I have a fan assisted; make sure to adjust temperatures accordingly.

Commission a Portrait!
A commissioned portrait... (admittedly for my Aunt and Uncle). Referenced from a photograph I'd taken at my sister's wedding of them.
Wedding Anniversary
This is a wedding anniversary gift for my sister and brother-in-law. I used photographs that I hadd taken at their wedding as reference.
