Grace's Valentines day cupcakes
Hi all, hope you are doing well. :D Grace is entering Heidi-Mari's Fortnightly Baking Fun Challenge with her Valentines Day Cupcakes, and she is only 8!
Serves 30
What you will need:
30 cupcakes, cooled, baked and ready to ice (use your favourite vanilla cupcake recipe!)
2 quantities butter icing, one quantity red, and one pink (you can find the recipe for this icing from my other post, here)
glace cherries
Method:
1. Ice each cupcake, like a spiral, going from the inside out until every cupcake is iced.
2. Put a cherry on each cupcake. (I know...not a very long method!)
^ YUM! Enjoy it. :)

heart cake
Hello everybody! I have an entry for Heidi's challenge... I did a heart cake.
Heart Cake
You will need:
a baked, cooled and ready to be decorated chocolate cake (use your favourite recipe! make sure it's in a heart tin and also make sure that there's two of them)
100g soft butter or margarine
500 ml (250g)
5ml vanilla essence
about 20 ml milk, if required
white icing, ready to roll
pink food colouring
Method:
1. To make the butter icing, first cream the butter and sifted icing sugar together. Add the vanilla essence and the 20ml of milk. (only use the milk if you think the icing is too thick! Add the pink food coloring and beat well.
2. Sandwich the two halves of the cake together using some of the butter icing, leave the rest for later.. Roll out the white icing until thin and smooth. Brush the cake with jam and then stick the white icing on it. ( If the icing is to much, just cut around the cake and put the leftover of the icing away.
3. Pipe hearts using a piping bag and what's left of the butter icing. Fill in the piped hearts using with pink food colouring the end of a beater. Be creative, do different hearts...ones using only food colouring, ones with spots on and ones that have a food coloring outline instead of a butter icing one...etc. :)

P.S. Remember that this is an entry for Heidi Mari's baking challenge.
raspberry surprise
For pudding on a Tuesday, I made Raspberry Surprise. So I decided to make a tutorial on it...with pictures! :)
Here is what you will need:
50g Raspberries
1 tin ideal milk
4 packets jelly
4 cups boiling water
3 cups cold water
This recipe serves: 10
Method:
^ You can use any flavoured jelly, but I used 1 mango, 2 raspberry and 1 cherry.
Open the packets of jelly and pour them into a large bowl. Add the four cups of boiling water.
Now stir until the jelly is dissolved. Then, add the 3 cups of cold water and stir again.
Use 1 cup of the ideal milk and add it to the mixture. Mix it well.
Put the rest of the ideal milk in the fridge.
Then put the jelly mixture in the fridge as well, once it is mixed.
Once the jelly has set (which should take a couple of hours) take the ideal milk out of the fridge and beat it well until the texture of whipped cream.
Then get the jelly out of the fridge and scrape out the whipped ideal milk onto the top.
Now spread it out evenly, and put the raspberries on top.
Wala, there you have it, raspberry surprise.
^ Well, it does go fast with a big family, lol.
Enjoy it!
