Umm, well I tried to doing red velvet cupcakes, like red sponge, white icing, but they looked a little mad. I do some nice one's with a dark brown sponge, white icing and red cherry, those colours go well. But what would look really cool is have the sponge the same colour every time and then change the icing, so you sort of get a different cupcake each time, x

Okay Just checking. I didn't think you would post them without her permission or anything, I just thought she wouldn't post it online for free. By the way: Do you know any good colour combinations for a cupcake scarf? I've been trying for such a long time to get a really cute combination!

@tessel it's a different pattern to her book (i have it too) it's one she shared on facebook the other week if i remember correctly, she gave the pattern to an alternative wedding website to use as a wedding garland.

I love those cupcakes and yours look nice too! (I've got twinkie's book too ) Did she give you permission to post these? I was thinking that seeing as it's in the book it wouldn't be free? I don't mind though
