Winner of Lemon Cupcake Giveaway - congratulations to PaisleyJade!

Just a quick post to say congratulations to PaisleyJade who was picked at random to win my Amigurumi Lemon Cupcake. :)

Thanks to everyone for entering, it was a fun first giveaway for me.

My first Giveaway - Cupcake anyone?

I've been meaning to do a giveaway for a while now as it seems fun and I also wanted to say a little thanks for all the cool people out there who have either followed me on twitter, liked/became a fan on facebook, supported my blog here or bought something from my etsy or folksy shops.  I am lucky to have such a nice bunch of people around me. :)

Well anyway I promised on my facebook that once it got up to 500 people "liking" me I'd have a giveaway and here it is.  It was really hard deciding what to give away for my first one but in the end I decided on an Amigurumi Lemon Cupcake.  :)  Cupcakes were one of the first things I started creating when I was teaching myself to crochet so I have a soft spot for them. I love cupcakes in general and hoping most of you do too.

To enter all you have to do is to leave a comment here or on my facebook telling me what your favourite item is from my etsy shop and make sure I have a way of contacting you, anonymous entries can't be included as I won't know who you are if you win. :)

The winner will be chosen at random.  The competition closes at midday on Sunday 4th July.  Good luck.

Chocolate Cupcakes

I was in a baking mood this morning and decided to make some cupcakes since I hadn't made any for a while. :) Yummy.

Turned them into chocolate iced ones with chocolate sprinkles. Gave some to my family and to my boyfriend's family - not many left now. :P

Chocolate Sandwich Cake

I hadn't done any baking for a little while as it's just been too hot here lately to have the oven on for long. But now that it's cooler I thought I'd make something and opted for a chocolate sponge cake with icing. Mmmmm......

Haven't made a sandwich cake for years so made a change, I think it came out ok. Tastes nice anyway. :P

Mmmmm... cakes. :P

Years ago when I was a kid I used to enjoy making stuff out of fimo - it's that clay you bake to harden. Well lately I've been getting urges to try making fimo stuff again.

Today I finally got a chance and made a few cupcakes which I thought could be used as charms or something as they can easily be attached to stuff. No idea if people will like them or not but I thought they turned out quite cute and enjoyed making them. :)

Amigurumi Kawaii Cupcakes

Sorry I haven't updated for a little while. I went back to work after a week off so that eats up a lot of my time. And then I bought Viva Pinata for my DS which I'm a little addicted to at the moment. :)

But that still hasn't stopped me with my crocheting and I've been making little changes to my amigurumi kawaii cupcakes which I enjoy making. Nothing major, just small things but the biggest thing to mention is the new "flavour" available and that's the yellow lemon one. :) I think it looks nice with all the others.

These can all be found at my shop here. :)

Mmmmm.... cake....

Mmmm.... I've been baking this morning and made a yummy coconut cake. I love coconut cake. :) I used to watch my mum make this when I was younger and then used to join in and help so it's nice to carry on making it now. I'll take her some later when I go round and see her.

The house smells of cake!
