Alas I had a cold and had no appetite at all really, but I did manage to scoff one of Kelly's adorable, and very tasty gingerbread cupcakes.
The gingerbread men were awesome - the recipes on Kelly's blog |
And a bite of both of Ellie's cupcakes - the HUGE (some of the biggest cupcakes I've ever seen - they were whoppers - but Manny still managed to polish off a whole one!) and chocolate'y black bottomed cupcakes, and her salted caramel cupcakes which I thought were really tasty and didn't taste too salty (I'm not keen on salted caramel really, but these were nice).
HUGE black bottom cakes - Manny loved them, but he does love a big bottom! |
Half eaten salted caramel cupcake - I loved the frosting |
Manny outdid us all and scoffed more cupcakes than I can remember him eating! Oh and my brussel sprout cupcakes went down ok, Marcus even took a spare one home so they must be ok! I will post the recipe this week that I used.
Oh, and before I forget, Kelly arranged prizes for the night. She drew the names out of a hat; Marcus won a an adorable ice cube tray from Paperchase, and I won the Jumbo cupcake mold!
Isn't it fab! I already have one giant mold but this has the bit where you can leave room for filling and I already have plans of what to do with it!
Even the box I used to transport the cupcakes didn't go to waste - the cats have been using it since we got home!*

*the cats only play in the box after its been used for cupcakes, never before. That'd just be wrong!

holy cupcake batman, those gingerbread ones look fantastic! I am now craving something I have never seen.
I also miss my cat.
So glad you guys came! Your kitties are so cute!
That was a good night indeed, nice people, quality cupcakes and a few pints of Fuller's Porter to wash the cakes down with, what more could I want? It was a shame there weren't more people there to eat the cakes, I did my best though!
You could use the mold to make a giant chocolate cupcake with a ganache filling :)
Sounds like a fantastic event am really disappointed I missed it but I'm away at the moment. Congrats on winning the cupcake mould - I have the same one and it's really good. Hope to see you in Jan.
