Rockin' cupcakes for Kerrang! Radio's Xmas Party!

Whenever we're baking here at BCCo's HQ, we always have Kerrang! radio cranked up to 11.  So imagine how excited we were to make these cupcakes for Kerrang! radio's 2011 Xmas party at the Birmingham Ballroom.  These were made to match both the Kerrang! Xmas party and Birmingham Ballroom logo's in black white and red with a rockin' Christmas theme.  

Birmingham Cupcake Co. gets the Gems TV Extra treatment!

Here are some cupcakes we made for the cast and crew of Gems TV Extra to help them through a particularly long shift.  We were delighted to see our creation shown on TV, thanks Alan!

Courgette and Walnut Cupcakes

I've had a few 'eurgh' type reaction to this cupcake when I've told people about this, but I promise you... this cupcake... tastes... AMAZING!

The courgette melts and disappears in the cake, leaving behind a soft, moist cake, beautifully sweet, delicate and light to contrast the dense nutty crunch of the walnut pieces.  Plus, if you're eating one of your five a day it can't be all bad, right?

Birmingham Cupcake Co. goes artsy!

We were very excited about providing cupcakes for Sarah Graham's artist appearance at Castle Gallery, Solihull this weekend, and the cupcakes went down a storm!


We provided vanilla cupcakes in colours to match Sarah's art (you can see this in the background) with sweets and treats and Sarah's signature 'Scat' logo to match.

Five-Layer Pecan & Maple Syrup Cake

This was my first go at frosting a cake à la the Hummingbird Bakery way and I think I needed a bit more buttercream as it wasn't quite thick enough for me.  Still lesson learned for next time.  


This tasted amazing with a coffee on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Let me know what you think!

Something sweet for the weekend - Sarah Graham!!

Sarah Graham is one of my favourite artists.  Inspired and motivated by vivid colour, her subjects include sweets, toys and other yummy goodies.

Sarah will be making an appearance at Castle Gallery in Solihull on Saturday 19th November 2011 between 12-3 to showcase her new autumn prints, and we will be joining forces with Sarah and Castle Galleries to provide cupcakes for this event.

Topsy turvy cake version 2!!

Poor old topsy turvy cake no. 1 suffered a mishap.  So here's topsy turvy junior to take its place, and I must say, I had a lot of fun making this one.  Personally I have a bit of a thing for zebra print, so this was my idea of a good time!
