If, like me, you're seriously busy at the minute but still looking for a quick way to enjoy the Jubilee celebrations. Then why not recreate these quick and easy cupcakes for the upcoming Bank Holiday. You'll only need a few Union Jack flags, edible red white and blue sprinkles, and cupcakes of your choice and voila you've created a quick and easy celebratory cupcake. In order to keep with the theme, I chose to put them in a red cupcake case which helps the flags pop on the top of the cake. You could always use the remainder of the union jack flags for sandwiches too. However, you choose to celebrate be sure to do it in style! Enjoy! Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers Creative Corner

These Num nom cupcakes were made to accompany the Berry Berry Swirl Cake I made for my God-daughter. I used claret pink for the faces of the pink num noms and then used a darker claret pre-dyed icing for the bows. The eyes and nose are Renshaws black decor icing and the eyelashes were made using a foodoodler black coloured edible pen. As there were boys attending the party I made some blue Num Noms of my own design, these had the stars on the ear and were baby blue in colour. Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers Creative Corner

Here is a lovely Dalmatian design that I found in one of my books recently, and couldn't wait to recreate him. I made Spot using Renshaws white, black and Poppy red icing. His tongue was made from spare pink icing that I had, and the bone was made using the Teddy bear brown colour. The dog itself was straightforward to make and was just a mixture of rolled-up shapes. I did the spots freehand and added the bone as a finishing touch using teddy bear brown coloured Renshaw icing and a veining tool. I made the red mat he's sitting on out of the Poppy red icing so that he has a little contrast and stands out a little. The book that Spot the 'Dalmatian' was in is called 100 Fondant Animals for Cake Decorators and was created by Helen...
