Sometimes you need to bake for yourself!

Recently I haven't baked anything for other people... its been for me. Trying new recipes or revisiting old favourites. Voila!

Chocolate Coffee Cake 

Lemon Drizzle

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie

I wonder what I'll bake next!

Purple Velvet

So! My latest creation is my mums wedding cakes...

Mum wanted a purple themed wedding so I had to come up with something good. At first I thought blueberry cheesecakes or Italian desserts of some kind. In the end though, the purple velvet won. 

It wasn't as easy as you'd think to make them purple though...

At first I tried mixing blues and reds, but they turned out brown, or murky green. It was weird. Then I tried a purple gel dye but that went pink. I almost gave up to be honest but then I found this little gem...

It holds its colour very well. So the mammoth bake-off began. I had bought enough ingredients to make thousands but hey. Here are the last few pictures.

In the end I made 120 purple velvet cupcakes and they have all been eaten! Happy baking! xx
