Happy New Year!

Here's a look at what I've been up to til the end of 2011...

 

 

Another cupcake tower with a brown and cream theme...

 

The wedding was held in the Yarra Valley...just gorgeous!!

And of course there was all the Christmas baking...

 

Chrissy cake pops!

Made some cookies for our friends - 

gingerbread and dark chocolate!

And what's a party without a Christmas log?

This one's an oldie but a goodie - chocolate ripple cake!

With summer berries and a lil' dusting of cocoa to bring some yuletide cheer!

Another dessert I've been wanting to try out, the Brownie-cheesecake trifle, 

or what I call "Your Daily Calorie Intake in a Cup"

It features layers of:

Triple-chocolate brownies

Cheesecake mix

Summer berries

Whipped cream

Oreo cookies

It's based on this one from Lauren's Kitchen

The last year has been an amazing journey, an amazing start! Looking forward to the new one ahead. Happy 2012 everyone!!

 

PS. Buttercup Bakeshoppe will be taking a well-deserved break (VACAAYYYYTION HERE I COME!!!) until late February. But I'll be posting up my food adventures abroad here, so stay tuned. And I've got some exciting news for March to announce too!
