I love cupcakes and right now I am thinking about cupcakes ...any cake. A party isn't a party without cake. I got up early to make a chocolate cake...but there isn't much left to photograph.
My boys would quite happily eat any cake covered in lollies, chocolate, smarties. Well they eat the lollies first.
Then the cake they apply all over their face, with chocolate grins ear to ear . They would probably rather only eat the lollies I decorate with. I am not fond artificial colourings but you are limited if you want to use Smarties.
These are some of my favourite cakes from flickr ...
1. Groom's cake!, 2. choc n pink, 3. Drum Grooms Cake, 4. More cupcakes!, 5. White and dark chocolate bow @ Amphora Bakery, 6. Cupcake Bear!, 7. Birthday Cakes, 8. Flowers bring colours... Happy Birthday!, 9. Noah's Ark Cake @ Amphora BakeryWelcome to my Ultimate Blog party post ...and ICLW visitors . I know some of you are doing both.
What is your favourite cake recipe ? and what decorations do you prefer ?
I want to try making these monogram cake toppers ...awesome !

Have fun at the parties.
Cupcakes, YUMMMM!!!

Happy UBP 09!!

That grooms cake is kind of intriguing! I enjoyed your party, come visit mine in Dubai!
YUM!!! I'm not a huge cake fan but I do like to look. Unless it's mud cake of course...
Nice to fid another Aussie blogger - I knew you must be Australian as soon as I read the word "Smarties". My party blog is about food too....Caramel Slice.
Hooray! You are the first Australian blog I came across at The Ultimate Blog Party! I'm in Queensland.
I hope you find time to hop on over to my party.
Cheers!
Gosh, so glad sweets are not my thing, cause those look good but at least I don't want them. That kinda helps when your DIETING! HA! Have fun at the UBP2009!
Trish ~ Ack! You are ruining my diet! Ah, well - no worries - they never last long anyways. And those cupcakes DO look yummy.
I poked around a bit and noticed in your profile that you have twins -- my daughter is a twin magnet! At her birthday party two weeks ago, we had three sets of twins there; only 10 children total.
I am going to have to go eat breakfast now, those cakes look awesome!
Cupcakes are the best party food ever. I love Carrot cake cupcakes with Creamcheese icing.. OOh yummy sounds good. I also like anything Chocolate.
Thanks for inviting us to stop by during the Party.
I am Aunt Rene from auntrene.blogspot.com
Have Fun!!
mmmmm cup cakes!
Just stopped by from the UBP to say hello! Your boys are adorable!!
Nurm !! Happy Party Day !!
My favorite cupcake or cake is homemade yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting...yum...to die for!
Swing by my site, The IE Mommy, to check out my Ultimate Blog Party Post.
Those cakes look too good to eat, especially the chocolate package one in the middle!
I don't do cake much anymore since my son doesn't like it and is on a special diet. His favorite treat is Monster Cookies.
I love making cakes--especially mu kidlets B-Day cakes. No party is complete without one.
Let's get to party-ing! :)
Visiting party members.
Well, I'm impressed with your cake ambitiou! I just made a chess board cake for my sister and brother-in-law and although my icing responsibilities were somewhat minimal it was SUCH a PROJECT! I just so happen to be full of admirmation for anyone who can do this job and do it well these days! =)
Oh, those cupcakes make me hungry! But what a fun way to party!
When you get the chance stop by and say hi. I'm writing about living an abundant life (on a budget).
Enjoy the Party!

Love those cupcakes but can't for the life of me find the patience to make them beyond the basic cake part lol.
Though I might slap some icing on them if they last long enough!
Great to meet you! Adorable little miracle boys! Nice to meet you! :)
Love your style!
We are recently into Fondant just because we think we sound cool saying it. I'm sure we're wrong.

I like your blog. I have boy girl twins as the result of numerous rounds of infertility. I've also suffered a miscarriage although very early in the pregnancy. It is amazing how infertility stays with you, isn't it? I look forward to getting to know you.

The Blog Party looks great too...I'm just too overwhelmed with everything at the moment to take it all in and participate! Have fun though!
