Canadian Cupcakes

A rather hectic time was had last weekend, as I frantically baked and iced cupcakes, tried to tidy the house, and also make a silver charm bracelet for a christening (more of which later).

So, my flatmate Yuri turned 40 and arranged a little party in a rather nice pub in Canonbury, the Marquess Tavern, which I've not been to for ages and is happily staggering distance from our house. Even though I wasn't actually drinking...

Anyway, I made some Canadian/birthday themed little cupcakes, with maple leaves and 40s cut out of red sugarpaste, with red and white frosting swirls. I even made them maple and pecan flavour...

Tada!
