Today is Mike's 65th Birthday - Happy Birthday Mike! As regular readers of this blog will know, Mum and Mike are very keen on gardening and we get lots of lovely fresh produce from their enormous allotment. When it came to a cake for Mike's birthday, there was no choice but for it to be a gardening theme so I made these seeding cupcakes cakes served in their very own propagator tray (which doubled as part of his present!) With oreo cookie crumbs as mud (Hello Cupcake was the inspiration for this) and green butter icing piped into leaves and stems to make the seedlings, these cakes were just the ticket!

  2. These are just wonderful - they put a big smile on my face (what a good start to a Monday morning and with a deadline to keep!)

    I think there's the seed of a new book in there ;-)

  6. these are just perfect.... and there must be the added shiver of eating what your eyes tell you is potting soil... I'm sure your tastebuds tell you something quite different!
