Pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, made for the Boers annual pumpkin carving day. The hats are made from ice cream cone ends and a chocolate cookie - covered in chocolate.

These chocolate brownie cupcakes, with chocolate fudge icing, were made for a Saturday afternoon of painting and giant spin art with the kids.

A friend sent me these colourful cupcake papers, so I just had to make something to fill them. I tried a new recipe and for the first time I filled the cupcakes -- with chocolate ganache and raspberrry jam.

Something fun for a little girls second birthday.

Dozens of cupcake bugs were made for a summer party. A shaped bug pan was used. A sunflower cake was also made, as the birthday cake, and some of the bugs decorated it.

Along with a birthday cake, cupcakes were made to match.
