'Good Times' Photo Cupcakes

I put these together to celebrate my mate Steve's birthday.

It was all a bit of a rush but with that considered, they went down a treat and Steve was really touched.

Working with party photos from the last year or so, and capturing some of Steve's more memorable moments they were ooh'd and ahh'd over and brought back sketchy yet happy memories of past events!!

Gary Barlow Cake

I made this cake for one of my nearest and dearests 40th. She is a massive Gary Barlow fan so I thought I'd have a go at fashioning him out of cake for her.

I didn't have a huge amount of time to do him justice, or at least that's my excuse!

Although I don't think it resembles Gary all that much (in fact looks more like my friend Jack who looks like Gary if that makes sense!) Nicki knew immediately who this friendly face was trying to be and reacted accordingly.

I made him out of Lemon Drizzle cake as it's a favourite of mine and is always a pleasure to make properly with real lemon juice and plenty of it, something that shop bought cakes just can't touch.

We feasted appropriately, with Nicki taking the initial bite... Here's Gary in all his glory...
