Roxanne Floquet

Um, beautiful. Just beautiful. These bespoke cakes, cupcakes, biscuits and petit fours are by Roxanne Floquet.

Cheeseburgers? Cupcakes?

See this flickr set for a step by step of these!

A year older.

I made these for a friend a while ago but needed a pic for this post!

I've been nicely spoilt today. So albeit a work day it has been a good one. 

Thanks for the good wishes! 

Two things I love.

I want these. Badly.

Cutest Cupcake Contest

Marcia at preciousstyle is running a cutest cupcake contest. So if you're a cupcake fan head on over double quick. She's even featured some of my creations. And she's offering great prizes... Domino, Anthropologie...you shouldn't need another invitation : )

Tea Party

Saturday was meltingly hot. So not tea, but rather champagne was imbibed. The opportunity to watch the unfurling of the hand-tied tea flowers was still taken up. Lots of laughter.

Tea Party

I recently bought some hand-wrapped Japanese tea flowers simply for curiosities sake. I love tea - the smoky flavour of Lapsang Souchong that will forever bring me memories of my Grandmother, the sweet milkiness of the Vanilla tea we drank in Mauritius, the bergamot infusion of the classic Earl Grey. Chai. Mint. Rooibos. Iced tea. And don't get me started on coffee....

I've waited for an appropriate occasion to 'bloom' my tea flowers...none forthcoming my conclusion was to host a tea party. Images of beautiful rose gardens, twinset and pearls, cake stands brimming with sweet, iced delicacies were conjoured up and now I'm looking forward to preparing tiny cucumber sandwiches, warming scones and baking cupcakes. (Usually no excuse necessary for the cupcakes.) Maybe even attempting to make petit fours... I'll try to shoot the results and share them with you. As for my guests, I'm sure they'll be coaxed to enjoy a glass of bubbly should the 'blooming' tea fail to please.

Silver, pink and white

I used fondant to make these flower shapes. And edible silver dust.

Cup cake fascination

Ok, so these are the lurid green most recent attempts. That is what two drops instead of one of colour will do... please see www.flickr.com/groups/cupcakestakethecake/ so that you know I'm not the only one a little obsessed!
