A warning tale about food colouring - My mum made a brilliant thomas cake with plenty of blue and black icing. The next day the DC's poos were blue too

I ended up having to paint it on straight from the bottle in the end as I couldn't get enough black ready to roll icing

It was great watching people eat it, as they all had black teeth and lips

pants - kitchen still out of use! i am not supposed to be using the floor! - so levitation is in order! any cupcakes i make will have to be very light & airy - floaty light!
d'yer think cod will have anything to say about my kitchen if i post pics now - clue, dd keeps running around shouting 'it's very dusty'

kickassangel · 23/06/2007 08:31

on a tangent - dd loves nemo. i'm thinking of doing a standard shape cake, witha pic of nemo on - is painting it on the easiest/best way? i'm not v good at painting soa little worried.

Slubberdegullion · 23/06/2007 08:57

F&Z, kitchen posturing is purely optional

purplemonkeydishwasher · 23/06/2007 09:22

LL - great cupcakes!

one suggestion though: ROY G BIV!

oh bum.

i'm at work and can't get onto picture trail.

can you just describe them for me chippy?

Idreamofdaleks · 23/06/2007 11:00

stunning cupcakes chippy

ChippyMinton · 23/06/2007 11:34

Entitled The Ugly Bug Ball, ChippyMinton's entry takes cupcake theming to a new level. Utilising the stunning range of sweeties avaiable at Woolies pick n mix plus specialist edible glitter, these delightful cupcakes depict ethereal butterflies, dancing caterpillars, a lone predatory male wasp and a greedy ant scoffing a leaf from the all-night buffet.
