Welcome to MeowCakes! As much as I'd like to say I'm inspired and creative and all of those lovely things, in reality this is my latest way of avoiding writing my papers. I would LOVE to have a cupcake business, but unfortunately my student loan has other ideas. So for now, sharing my cupcake adventures here is the best I can do! My goal is to create something new every week and share it here- whether it's a huge success or a massive failure. Here goes...
So it's officially the middle of October. That means fall colours, fabulous selection of tights and sweaters in stores, and unfortunately for Southwestern BC, the beginning of the 8 million gallons of rain we're going to get between now and March. So, in an effort to stop pining for the East Coast Autumn I'll be spending the next month or so coming up with cupcakes inspired by the changing leaves, and crisp cold days of Fall. Since I haven't actually made any of those yet, you're going to have to make do with taking a look at some of this past summer's creations!

| Back in May, I thought I'd give decorating a go... |
 |
| This beast was created for a very special 6 year old. |
 |
My giant star tip is the best thing that's come into my life
since the DD selection at LaSenza got expanded. Fact. |
 |
| I hate the "Wilton Rose" with a passion-- I much prefer this. |
 |
These are fresh Strawberries & Cream flavoured. I curdled the buttercream slightly so it would look more like whipped cream...unfortunately then the yellow flower middles were also curdled.
Thinking ahead:1 , Mel:0. |

I seriously think everything looks better pink. There's a teensy bit of food colouring
in this batter, but mostly just a pile of fresh summer strawberry puree! |
 |
On the day I made red velvets, I forgot to buy cream cheese first for
the frosting. I figured fondant flowers would make amends! |
 |
| In any case, cream cheese frosting is the only way to go with red velvets! |
 |
| Owen is one of my most dedicated taste testers- he approves. |
 |
| What do you make for a 10 year old birthday girl with Bieber Fever? |
 |
| Cupcakes are cute enough, but then there's mini cupcakes. |
 |
| Raspberry Almond Swirl Minis! |
 |
| Blueberry Vanilla Cupcakes for a Summer 50th Birthday! |
 |
Blueberry cake topped with fresh blueberry coulis
and vanilla buttercream = success! |
