Icing On the Cake

Cupcakes a la Cath Kidston Style

Well, will you?

Perfect in pure white - as for most brides...

Based, loosely, on Clara church, but I can turn my hand to any church. Just don't ask me to do St Canice's - either of them!

A classic - the old ones are the best - and that goes for people too!

And in case you were wondering, no, it's not Shefflin!

Chocoholics' dream...over to Lynn Trusse for consultation over the use of the apostrophe, but you know what I mean...

If you are lucky enough to be in Kilkenny over the next few days go along to the Credit Union for a look at a display of my wedding cake creations. And if you're not - lucky enough to be in Kilkenny that is - then enjoy the photos!

And before I get any comments - yes, I know that carrots don't grow above ground and that leeks grow upright, but there is a LOT of necessary artistic licence with cake decorating!

Cathal's confirmation cake!

Working 48 hours a day decorating so no time to update yet...but will be adding photos and news on Monday

It's getting late now and I don't have to get up early for Hannah's swimming tomorrow so I really should make the most of it and go to bed early. Think I'll just make 7 heads for Cillian's cake - at least it'll make me feel like I have actually started it.

Back to the drawing board now making characters and a very complicated motorbilke for 3 cakes for this Saturday, not forgetting the Loreto one for next Monday. Anyone free for coffee on Tuesday?? Although it'll have to be after I've taken down the window display in the Credit Union. How about Tuesday afternoon???

Today was my "C" day and at long last I put a display of cakes in the Credit Union window on the High Street Kilkenny. A few "thank yous" are due; Aine for pointing out someone else's cakes in the window which spurred me into action, Paula for help with my blog, Jen for the business cards and blog no.2, Caroline for taking photos and Heather for spending hours time helping me put the window display together.
