Oslo World Music Festival 2010

Last weekend was a bisy one, still pakking for the big move and on top of that I decided to try out some new cupcake flavours. Spent friday night and saturday morning making oreo-, banana chocolate & caramel- lemon & coconut- and carrot cupcakes, all with different types of topping and fondant/marzipan decorations. I think I made around 120 cupcakes and brought them to all my friends to taste and to find out what their favorites were. the reason for making this many was because I was asked by my very good friend to make cupcakes for the Oslo World Festival meeting and if everything goes according to plan my cupcakes will be permanent fixture during the festival. Here you can see the results:

Marzipan Flowers

I decided to to take a marzipan class to learn more about techniques and envoke my creative side. I truly enjoyed it and I can't wait to use all the techniques I learnt. I will also take a course in royal icing and basic cake decorating. My goal is now to bake atleast 1 cake per week. I will keep posting the results on the blogg.

Oreo Cupcakes

I've been making the same cupcakes so I decided to try out a new recipe: Oreo cupcakes :) I love the cookies so having them combined with cupcakes which is another one of my favorites, the result just had to be great - and trust me they were.  They might even be my favorite kind. Here are some pictures
