    those bee's are soooooo cute and i love the animal cupcakes. I am doing cupcakes for a school cake sale and think I might do some cookie monster style.

    I also need to make 50 cupcakes for dd's birthday. She loves anything princess so maybe something like that. I want to make them using sugarpaste but am not sure what designs to make as there will be boys there too. any idea's?

    this is my first attempt at a run-out. its a practice run. I know the nozzle I used was too big as the white shows a bit too much. any comments welcome :)

    thank you Nanamia and wookey, I love them for a first attempt! Bindiboo, loving the jungle cupcakes, really trying to find a decent giraffe for a couple of birthdays coming up if you know of anywhere with a good design?

    So, here are my cupcakes, yellow themed, for my friends sister's 40th birthday at the weekend

    I would be interested in a diabetic recipe too as FIL is diabetic and I felt guilty when we took some cakes round. Do you just use sweetener sugar?
