You may be thinking about doing a bit of home-baking and making it look a little bit special for Mother’s Day and I have a useful link or two to pass on to you.
The first link comes from goodlife{eats} http://tinyurl.com/6yypf2a and demonstrates how to make the two-tone icing as I have done in the pictures here.
I came across this link via Caroline & Kristen, the team behind Irish Food Blogger’s Association in a ‘What we’re reading’ section rounding up links to what’s new in the food world and be sure to check that out at http://www.irishfoodbloggers.com/
Any aspiring food stylists or bloggers looking for a chance to improve their food styling skills could win yourself a place on a Food Styling Workshop in Germany courtesy of Plate 2 Plate & Bordbia. Details of this amazing competition – open to all Irish resident food bloggers – are available at http://tinyurl.com/4qrcylh but you need to hurry as closing date is 31st March 2011.
If you do plan on trying out the two-tone frosting, a word to the wise, this is not as easy as it looks. I mucked up two cupcakes and readjusted technique until I got it right. There is however the joy of sucking the left over butter cream frosting out of the nozzle. Sugar high.
Til next time, Sheila
