Yummy - LOVE In My Tummy!

OMG ..... do you you die?.....these cupcakes look totally amazingly delicious!  They are courtesy of the super website by Ming Thompson - "Ming Makes Cupcakes" where you can find a total of 33 mouth watering recipes for Cupcakes and a selection of Cookie and Savory recipes too! ......I'm thinking these could be apart of my Handmade Christmas....eh, eh?  YUM, thanks Ming!

I CHALLENGE You!

I've done something quite crazy (I think)  I have made the pledge to make 2010 a totally Handmade Christmas!!  ....eeeeek.  I came across this challenge at the Knicky Knacks blog via Honey Jumble (super blog BTW) who has also taken the plunge. 

The idea is to buy and/or make handmade items only for all of your Christmas gifts.  It is quite exciting, if not a little nerve racking, and I think perhaps it's just the thing I need to keep the creative juices flowing!  Every week up until Christmas, on the Knicky Knacks blog, you are invited to share your projects, ideas, purchases etc. 
I will keep you posted on what I create over the next few months til Christmas......(this year is going too quickly!).....
 

.......and I invite you too to join in the Handmade Christmas Challenge!  Do let me know if you join up and we can panic together.......hee,hee,he... xxx

The AMAZING Cupcake Bake-Off Bonanza!!

It was RSPCA Cupcake Day today and I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who ordered cupcakes and made a donation!
For most of Sunday my sister and I were up to our eye balls in cake and icing - we made 120 cupcakes altogether (minus a few for "quality control" purposes of course) and we totally sold out - YAY!  We had soooo much fun baking up a storm, here are some pictures of our efforts.......
