Launch Party Cup Cakes :)

I have just got back from my holiday to Morzine (France), where I was visiting my bosses from my ski season - Karen and Richard (the mountain lodge company).

I had a fantastic time, loved the sun and the Tour de France, and more so meeting Karen a
nd Richards baby girl Norah.

while I was out there Karen asked if I would make some cakes for a launch party, to open her's and friend Jackies new shop/ studio. so after deciding to make cup
cakes I got to work.

I used a yoghurt cake recipe, and used summer fruit flavoured yoghurts because I wanted a fresh taste. I also decided to put mixed berries in the
cake which added extra flavour and texture. after making 24 cup cakes I decided to put pink food colouring in the remaining mixture to add colour.

Once the cakes were baked, I wanted to make sure they looked the part. so using more mixed berries, white chocolate buttons, icing and sprinkles I decorated
all of the cup cakes to ensure there was a wide variety of colour.

The final result was great, the colours looked fantastic and they tasted very summery, which is what I wanted. I hope they go down well at the launch p
arty! maybe some future bookings :)
