Birthday piggies

So, someone wanted some muddy piggies on their birthday cake this year. I had great fun making this lovely cake with an unbelievable amount of wafers and flakes 😉

Graduation cupcakes

I quickly made these graduation cupcakes.  Unfortunately I did not have a lot of time to spend on it so it is a bit thrown together, but I do think it came out nicely.  I really need to find a nice icing recipe, although mine is tasty I don’t find it that easy to squeeze onto…
