on friday i took my mum to hampton court flower show as her birthday present. as we got off the train i was greeted by a sight that immediately lit up my face - dozens of brightly decorated cupcakes! a cafe had set up a stall at the station and this included hand decorated cupcakes for only 99p - a complete bargain!
so many cakes!
all hand decorated in lovely colours and topped with flower decorations
tower of cakes - some with wraps
my lovely mum bought me a cake so i chose a gorgeous pink one with a blue flower and a glitter finish. i polished it off after our fish and chips lunch and it was SO nice. i tend not to expect cupcakes that look good to actually taste good - often they are quite dry. but this was so moist and the icing was almost like mousse - so so scrummy!
i love the glitter!
on the way back we just missed a train so we had a bit of a wait at the station so ended up back at the stall! i got one for myself (it's been an indulgent week!) and one for my sister. at this point they had started putting the plastic cases into little plastic flower pots which i thought was a really clever idea and very fitting for the whole event!
flowerpot-cake!
i love the simplicity of this one
for my sister i got a light blue one with two flowers and glitter (unfortunately it got slightly squashed on the way home!)
these cakes have really inspired me to try and master the art of icing with a piping bag!
love,
