Goodbye 2012 , Hello 2013!

First up I hope everyone had a fantastic start to the new year! Looking back over my pictures from 2012 I've enjoyed remembering some of the yummy new recipes I tested, the exciting occasions I got to make treats for and the fun things I've got to share with you all. Thank you for reading, for commenting (they always make me smile) and mostly thanks for a great year! I promise 2013 will be full of more sweets, more treats and yummy things to enjoy as all thoughts of new years resolution diets fade from our memories.

While looking back I realised there are a number of things I've failed to post for one reason or another. In the spirit of starting the new year fresh I thought I'd share whats left of last years creations before moving onto exciting new stuff.

Pink Black and Leopard Print Masquerade Cakes

A few weekends ago I got to make not one but two super awesome fun Birthday cakes. The cakes were for mother and daughter who were having a joint Masquerade themed birthday party.

The colours for the party were pink, black and silver, with some leopard print thrown in on the 21st cake.

I tried to match the shape and size of the cakes, tying them together using the same numbers and bows.

The masks were a great find from spotlight, with a few added feathers they matched the cake perfectly.

The 21st leopard print cake was my favourite vanilla cake with yummy vanilla buttercream.

To give guests more than one option the 50th pink and black cake was my go to chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.

I loved having another reason to use my favourite new quilting tool.

Happy Birthday to both Birthday girls!

Glad to hear the party was great and everyone loved the cakes.
