Hi Awesome, thank you so much. I made the majority of them. The "little princess" and the princess girl are clear rubber stamps that I got really cheap off ebay, the bows I made with a silicon mould, again off ebay, and the flowers I made with my cutters. The butterflies and the cupcake picks were from ebay. The purple fairy was part of a set of pink and purple fairies and they were personalised as well, only a couple of pounds but went so well with the theme I did.

I got the idea for the rubber stamps from Purple Cupcakes, they sell sets for different occasions, so i thought I would get my own. Also, I bought a polka dot embosser from there, when it arrived its a cuttlebug embosser sheet for paper crafts, they work really well. I would have never thought of using them on my cakes, this is the 1st time I've tried them and I love them!! They certainly add an extra dimension

Hi ladies!

Got a few questions I hope you can help me with!

Firstly, can anyone share their chocolate cupcake recipe please? I've tried loads of different ones but they all seem dense and stodgy

Also, are there any better alternatives to tappits for letters and numbers? It takes me ages to get them right. I let them dry a bit before getting them out the mould but find alot of them break and I then have to re-do them. It's driving me nuts!

Finally! I'd like to do a rainbow sponge cake and wondered where to begin! (I mean that actual inside bit all rainbow coloured, not a rainbow shaped cake!).

Thank you in advance xx

Just make seven layers in the 7 colours and sandwich them together. I'm not sure what is confusing about it.....??
