Hummingbird Chocolate Orange Cupcake. These sprinkles are the brightest orange I've ever seen! And notice the tiny black bats?
More Halloween baking! Chocolate orange again, from the Hummingbird Cake Days book. If you try it, be warned, the frosting recipe makes an absolute ton. Love these sprinkles too much, they are such an amazingly bright orange, and the little black shapes on there are (I think) bats. Or tiny vampires? Who knows, but either way they’re pretty cute.
I picked up these black polka dot cake cases on Saturday, they’re perfect for Halloween but I’m not sure what I can use them for in between. Hoping they would make a chic compliment to a pink and black combination sometime?
Aside from chomping my way through the cake mountain, I have nearly, nearly finished this lil mug cosy. It’s primarily rich purple acrylic DK, with a couple of lavender stripes, for maximum washability and minimum visible tea-stains. The pattern was originally devised for a special commission, in royal and bright blue.
I’m debating how much detail to add to this variation – the original included a crocheted company logo, so there’s room for some fuzzy fun on this one, but it’s also kind of nice as a simple design.
Mug cosy - my own pattern. I'm calling this the Tantallon colourway.
