Yesterday was a fun day at the bakery so I've decided to post the whole days worth of cupcakes at once.
I mentioned last week that I was making samples for a local group of hotels, so I was making those cupcakes, we also had a gorgeous Chocolate Vanilla 'Spring has Sprung' batch and a bridal shower batch full of mini bow topped cupcakes for the guests and a special Calla Lily cupcake for the bride.
I was happy to be back to cupcakes as I have been focusing on another area of the bakery of late and have slowed down orders until the beginning of May. I have some gorgeous Easter and Royal Wedding cupcakes on the books in the next couple of weeks though, two brilliant themes that I cannot wait to get stuck into. The 2nd week of May means big changes for Buttercream Bakery. I haven't told you all yet because I'm stupidly superstitious but you will know soon enough.
I love these 'Night Night' and 'Sweet Dreams' mini cupcakes, I made these as part of the sample batch, the idea is that guests at the hotel would be given bespoke mini cupcakes instead of a chocolate on the pillow before bed. I think they would be lovely with black or red roses too, in fact yellow would also be lovely. Wouldn't it be nice if I could match the cupcake colours to the colour scheme in the rooms?
The banners can obviously be personalised with names and messages, they're really cute and I think the rosebud design is great for this time of year.
Mini Animal Print Cupcakes
I made zebra stripe ones too but don't have a picture, you get the idea anyway, very stylish little cuppies.
I hand painted the toppers using edible food colouring.
Calla Lilies and Bows...
Such a lovely design, I made some of these mini bow cupcakes for the sample batch too, always popular with brides.
Colourful Spring Cupcakes
I love the use of colour in this batch, it was beautifully sunny whilst I made these, shame the weather didn't last.
I don't often get to use cutters as most of my toppers are modelled by hand, so it was a nice change making these. The flowers and butterflies were a breeze and I'm a big fan of these PME embossing cutters, they really are brilliant and so easy to use.

you're too perfect!... I love your work, it's genius... you should have one of your cupcakes displayed on a plinth in an art gallery... simply stunning x
Beautiful! Especially those lillies! Really pretty
What a beautiful variety.
aww these are all so pretty, i just went on a cupcake decorating course and we used cutters for butterflies and flowers, so much easier than creating from scratch! but creating from scratch produces more original results ;) hope I can visit your shop in Brighton sometime soon x
