Cakey Birthday to You...

It's my sisters birthday today (36!!!) and I wanted to try something new for her to take to work. I settled on Lemon and Poppy Seed Cupcakes.  I didn't  taste one (unusual - if I'm baking for public consumption I usually eat one un iced to be sure!) but apparently they were well received.

Pretty cakes all in a row

To decorate -  I cut what should've been flowers, but look more like fried eggs thanks to the cutter I used, out of white fondant icing, put a circle of edible glue onto the centres and stuck assorted sprinkles on. The cupcakes were iced in lemon butter cream tinted slightly yellow and a flower was glued to each.

Et voila! If you give these a try, the mixture doesn't look promising but they came out fine - or so the taste panel at Christ Church Primary tell me.
