Or
Hell! They've been fiddly!
Especially this bit: I tried stitching the bottoms on with sewing machine at first. It took about 30 minutes and much swearing! Any tips here would be gratefully received.
I wanted my cupcake to be quite realistic in shape, ie the case to be wider at the top than the base, not to look like a chopped off toilet roll tube!
Then there was the size of the cake part: I didn't want it overflowing like a large American muffin. (Not that there is anything wrong with American muffins, but this is a British fairy cake or bun. Small but perfectly formed.)
Next came the best part. Oh, the excitement! What trimmings should I use? Buttons or sequins, beads or ribbon, rickrack or lace? Should they look realistic or just fluffy and over the top?
Decisions, decisions!
It's no good. I can't wait any longer. I've got to show you them NOW.
TA-DAA!!!
I feel ridiculously happy with them.
And they're completely CALORIE FREE! WHOOHOO!!!
Remember yesterdays utterly gorgeous glass cake dome? Looking a little sad and empty?

Aaaah. I'm all cupcaked out now.
All smiley and happy!

Hi Fiona, just wanted to say your cupcakes look wonderful! You've certainly been busy! They look great together on your stand and good enough to eat!
Hope you're making progress with this month's challenge?! I've made a start but need to get my skates on! Looking forward to the reveal. Take care

Look so yummy, love the icing detail on tops,
These are quite simply beautiful!
I just LOVE the way you've used the beads to decorate, those sweet little pink flower beads are making me go weak at the knees! Bet you have a fabulous bead stash, care to share it with us sometime??
Are cakeies for sale??
They look very saleable to me.

These are absolutely fantastic - wish I had an ounce of your talent :)
Hi Fiona, I have been trying to find how you do your gorgeous cakes and then stumbled on this post - OH MY! Aren't they just something else! Do you sell them or do you sell the pattern?
Can't wait to see the wedding cake now! Wow!
I have so enjoyed my cake with no calories :0)
