Birthday Cupcakes

Made these vegan banana beauties for one of my dearest friend´s birthday last week.  We had a girly lunch at Mil Mil Agros. (Must say I was disappointed after all the hype surrounding local celebrity chef Dani Garcia).  Still we had fun!

Hello Kitty Party!

My very good friend Suzy threw a Hello Kitty party for her daughter's 3rd birthday last weekend.  It was a fabulous day and she did a wonderful job.  We helped out with a Fiesta Fiesta cake!

You're never too young to enjoy a cupcake!

Willow's 2nd Birthday Party



Well the party was perfect really. I ran out of time to put up all the decoration that I had planned, partly because everything I put up, Willow proceeded to pull down again so I had a battle to get anything up! The weather was perfect, everyone looked gorgeous and the food and drinks went down well. I made blinis with smoked salmon, creme fraiche and chives, chickpea and aubergine fritters with cumin yoghurt dip, little chicken mayo sandwiches, little maple syrup cookies shaped like stars, flowers etc. and iced in pastel colours, and of course the delicious cupcakes from Cake Marbella (http://www.cakemarbella.com/) were devoured! I made a coconut cake iced in pastel flowers for the birthday cake and instead of take home bags there was a flower pot (in a baked bean can) with their name on it. Oh and Bellinis with fresh peach puree for the adults!!

Here is Willow, enjoying an experimental cupcake i made on the weekend, coconut and orange. Seems she liked it, the icing especially....
