Cupcakes, strawberries and chocolate!!!!

Well, here are a couple of pictures of my new cupcakes, at long last! I'd hoped, by now, that I would have at least three to show you, but I have been fulfilling orders so I've had to delay for a short while.
Anyway, strawberries and chocolate, here we go...

....this idea came from some real ones which I made last year. I try to knit what I see (and eat) if you know what I mean.
I thought 'd make them all slightly different. The first two are in chocolate cases...

... with two different toppings, one with a strawberry (just as it comes) the other with a milk chocolate dippping on it.
The second two are in springtime colour cases....


each with lashings of toppings and finished with a strawberry, one "as it comes" and the other with a dark chocolate dipping on it.
It's a good job they're not real as I don't think they would have lasted very long!!!!!
I have also been making more of these....

.... but only ordered ones at the moment.
I'm still working on my greetings cards, now I have a new laptop (which I have to say is taking me a while to get used to)my graphics programme runs much faster. Sadly I'm not "running" along with it! Maybe I will when I get used to it!!
There's a lot of mice in the house at the moment. Not real ones I'm glad to say, it's a special order but I have to keep that under wraps for now.
Hopefully it won't be long until I can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Roll on spring, it's almost here. Happy crafting everyone!

Cupcakes and more.

The plan was, to have my new designs out. But I've been quite busy of late with fulfilling orders. The cold virus I had for the last three weeks didn't help much either. I was playing catch up with myself, or trying to.
Here are the latest cupcakes....
For the chocolate lovers....

.....and creamy pastels...

and these.....


....and more pretty springtime flower topped....

.... there are new mixed tarts available....

....and these...

.... there are some mice available too.
I have sourced some beautiful new springtime shades, and these will feature in my mice selection and cupcakes. But at the moment I have another order to fulfill, which hopefully I will be able to show, when they are all complete.
I'm still working on new designs, but they are still " on the drawing board" so to speak. I'm also hoping to get the greetings cards on sale shortly.
At least all this food is calorie free!
