As those of you that follow me on Twitter and the new Lindy’s Cakes Facebook page will know, I am busily making cupcakes for my next book. I have always made cupcakes and they have appeared in many of my book titles, as ideas to compliment my main cake designs. This book however is letting me put the humble cupcake centre stage and making it the star. I’ve experimented with many different icings and cake flavours over the last few months and have definitely decided that I personally prefer sugarpaste to decorate and to eat, although if it has to be buttercream, Swiss meringue buttercream is my preferred choice – recipes will be in the book!
I am making both quick and clever cupcakes – the ones that you need if you’re planning on making 100’s for a wedding as well as special individual ones that you make for your nearest and dearest.
Thought I’d tease you with an example…..
Tea Rose cupcakes from the book Lindy is currently writing
To decorate this cupcake I’ve embossed the patchwork cutter tea rose into sugarpaste and then brush embroidered with royal icing. Hope you like it!

I love these cupcakes. The color is great! I can’t wait for the book!
Beautiful! I may just give this a try, it looks so pretty!
This looks very impressive but very labour intensive. Can’t imagine doing 150 of these for a wedding and expecting to make a decent profit! Fine for small numbers and people you love. But better to do ‘simple with the wow factor’ for the masses!
The rose pattern on the cupcakes is awesome! It gives a totally different look to the cupcake. The colour combination is wonderful too. I am looking forward to the book.
They are just so elegant. They’re really different from most cupcakes I have seen, I love them, yet another of your books/dvds to add to my wishlist, lol.
I totally agree Megan – I wouldn’t want to make lots of these. What I have found however, is that a few highly decorated cupcakes mixed in with a lot of simpler ones work really well and looks very effective when displayed
love them …the clematis would look lovely too as per your cake on your dvd!!!!
Amazing-I just wish I had the time —I love some of your wrappers from older posts, can I link to them for my site? Thanks
Pleased to hear you like my cupcake design and yes by all means link to our cupcake wrappers
I agree the clematis would work and the biar rose (all Patchwork cutters)
love the ribbon idea…have a 6 tier choc wedding cupcake tower to do at the weekend with a choc cake with a fountain coming out of the top on the top!!( if that meake sense!!) will def be using ribbon around the cases after seeing this!!
thanks Lindy….yet again great inspiration!!!!!!!!!

The Rose embroidery technique is stunning-really eye catching.can you sucessfully freeze cup cakes before decorating?
Freezing cupcakes before decprating is fine
