Preparing for a Cakey weekend

So someone asked me to make 30 cupcakes a few days ago. Things seemed fine but then my cakes sank. Never happened to me before (I swear) and I couldn't figure out why. That is until a few hours later when I passed by the other side of the kitchen and saw a bowl of eggs I'd forgotten to put in 0_0


It wasn't a complete disaster because they weren't all the eggs, I did remember to put half :-p. Therefore, I'll be using those sunk cupcakes to make some cake pops later when I manage to buy some lollopop sticks. Meanwhile, I made another batch, remembered all the ingredients and they came out fine :-p (pics coming soon)


So this weekend have two Birthday cakes to make; one a pretty birthday cake with flowers etc and the other a replica of a Street Fighter PS3 joystick. 


My friends and I saw the cake online, made by Love & Sugar Bakeshop (all her cakes are amazing, do check 'em out) and were blown away! My cousin wanted one made for her husband but as the bakeshop is in Canada, I'll be attempting it myself.


It's an amazing cake and I know I won't be able to do all the painting on it so not really going to attempt it :P but the rest looks simple enough.

I've also been asked to make some cupcakes for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in a few weeks which I am really looking forward to. Will be making crowns, roses and maybe union jacks if I get time. All cake pics will  be uploaded on my facebook page.
