An extraordinary way to spend an afternoon

Today Ivy came round to my house with some exciting cake decorating ideas! She'd made a cake that looked like a pie (a pake) and had some ideas to decorate cupcakes to look like pie and other foods.
Armed with a large amount of colourings and some fresh raspberries and strawberries we made a batch of fairy cakes and got started.

Before adding the 'pastry'
They turned out pretty awesome, well done Ivy!
Next was hot dog cupcakes, we tried adding watered down jam and lemon curd for ketchup and mustard but they just went a bit sloppy!



 We made some green icing to make alien faces


There was one cupcake that spilled over at one side so Ivy had the genius idea of making it into a waterfall. I added 'rocks'.


















Separately, I cooked some cheesecake cupcakes with strawberries and raspberries in, cream cheese icing and crushed digestive biscuits. These turned out to be mostly fruit but were very tasty!














Along with random decorations, this is all our epic cupcakes together. It was so fun decorating them and a brilliant way to spend the day with Ivy.
