I’ve been buying even MORE baking supplies this week… I decided it was finally time to invest in paste food colours for my baking and bought these from a specialist supplier on ebay. They normally retail at about £2.30 / £2.50 each so 5 for £9.90 isn’t bad. I chose primary red, primary yellow, primary blue, bright pink and purple!! I was sad at first that I couldn’t have green too but then I realised I was being exceptionally thick and that I could make green with blue and yellow!!
Yeah… I’m pretty stupid. But I’m hoping that the new gel colours (plus some new cupcake equipment I’m getting for my birthday) will enable me to make the perfectly piped, brightly coloured cupcakes that I dream of!

Wow! If wishes came true, I would be eating these right now...
Of course, a google search for brighly coloured cupcakes turned up this picture from Star Bakery! These yellow cupcakes were made by the hugely talented Liana - click on the photo to see more of her creations!
Take a look here for more baking inspiration – product results for cake toppers = 20000… wow!
As you can possibly tell, I’m pretty excited about my 27th birthday tomorrow. I’ve already been treated to lots of lovely presents, flowers and plants and tomorrow I’m treating myself to a Golden Fleece veggie burger (review coming soon!) and some more birthday gifts – I’ll do a post to show you what I’ve bought!
I’ll also be posting the following recipes later this week! So check back soon
- Mixed berry frozen yoghurt
- Veggie sausages and mash
- Watermelon cupcakes
Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can get a delicious birthday cupcake in Nottingham?

hey kerry, you could try getting cupcakes from Your Unique Day, they have a shop in netherfield and a pop up shop in victoria centre outside boots. We got some for my mums bday and they were delicious! Happy birthday for tomorrow, hope you have a fab day! X
Thanks Jenna!!!
Can’t wait for the frozen yoghurt recipe, have been hunting some down and shops don’t appear to sell it.
Hey Hollie-Anne! I know you can’t seem to get it anyway here – wish we were like London and had frozen yoghurt shops and hummingbird bakerys here in Nottingham! Its a really simple Jamie recipe, I’ll post it asap!
PS. Think I might treat myself to some of those colours on pay day too. Great recommendation.
Yeah they’re not bad value! Plus they last for a long time apparently 🙂
Wow these cupcakes look so delicious. Can’t wait to see your next batch of cupcakes now you’ve got all the tools! Happy birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have a lovely day. xx
Thanks Emma! Can’t wait to open your presents (I was good and haven’t opened them yet!)
you’re very good! x
