I'm pretty sure I've dreamt of mass amounts of pink frosted cupcakes before. Helen, have you been sneaking into my dreams at night?
Yummy yummy yummy! Pink is such a lovey color and I bet they taste wonderful. That chocolate loaf looks pretty good too.
Shelley
These look fantastic! You have been busy, thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my hippy pic, I know you don't have much time, so it is really appreciated.
That. Is a LOT of cupcakes. Very impressive :-)
The chicken stir-fry and the scallops look really good. I haven't done a stir-fry in ages because I got sick of always doing the one recipe that the kids would eat. They've become more adventurous recently, I should try something new on them.
Mmmm...making me hungry. Gorgeous cupcakes!
The cupcakes are seriously pretty!! Nice decorations....and you made 100. Wow.
All of the other food looks to die for. The artichoke dish is something I know I would love as well as the Sesame Chicken Salad.
I really enjoy your blog! Good stuff.
Beth
YUM! I would love the recipe for the salmon nuggets!!
So many cupcakes! So many pretty, delicious looking cupcakes! And oh so much work!
You did a wonderful job dear- everything looks wonderful!
Have a wonderful day~
One of these days I'm making it over to your side of the pond & getting some of your cooking & baking. Man those look good!
Those cupcakes look amazing! YUMMY!! Awesome job!
Those cupcakes look devine! I honestly can't say that I've ever baked 100 cupcakes at one time- what were you making them for? (That's a lot of cupcakes even for two parents and three kids!) :)
Brittany, they come out of your dreams and into my own! Wait...isn't that an old song...? ;O)
Shelley, thank you! The loaf was nice...a bit odd...isn't that a funny thing to say about a chocolate cake but maybe it was the lack of icing.
Janice, I was so glad I did; now I have that image of you, that is how I see you! ;O)
mimbles, I found that by marinating the chicken in 2 parts soy sauce to 1 part sesame oil and a squeeze of lemon juice for 30 minutes beforehand that the chicken cooked really quickly and tasted gorgeous. The kids loved it...I was so delighted because, like yours, they don't go for too many stir fry recipes and I love them.
obladi, thanks hon...I'm going to make more today just because! ;O)
Beth, thank you! although my husband said that the salad was where sesame seeds go to die...I did overdo them a tiny bit.... ;O)
Shana, they were little chunks of salmon cut from a fillet, dipped in a beaten egg and rolled in, on this occasion, a packet of ready salted crisps (chips) which had previously been bashed with a rolling pin. They were then cooked in the oven for approx. 6 minutes I think. Always have a tester nugget for yourself! ;O)
Catherine, that's really nice of you, thank you. x
confused homemaker, you know you are welcome anytime! :O)
Christina, thank you, it was so much fun.
Virginia Mom, *L*...they were for the opening of a spa. We did get to try them out though.... ;O)
pinch me 'cause i must be dreamin'! Wooooooooo hooooooo, pink cupcakes!! You never cease to amaze me, Helen. Beauty and yumminess in one friendly place. Heaven! :) Lizzy
It all looks yummy (as usual) but those cupcakes are kind of spectacular. Why so many? Is this a new business venture? If not, maybe you should consider it - they certainly look professional enough to sell.
Check out the sea of pink cupcakes. They look absolutely gorgeous and all the other pictures make me so hungry right now.
excuse me while i go find a tissue to clean up the drool....it's a pity we can't just live on food by looking at it!!! off to the supermarket...i am sooooo hungry all of a sudden???????!
Those cupcakes are gorgeous along with the rest of the food as well! I'm definitely intrigued and have become a follower!
Lizzy, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you. xx
angelcel, it was for a new beauty spa opening. It was a one off but I've been asked about taking orders and I wouldn't say no! x
Ms Bibi, hope you had a lovely dinner then! :O) xx
Shelle! Hi hon, hope you are well. Did you buy cupcakes?? ;O) xx
Julie M, that is so kind, thank you! :O) xx
You never said what the 100 cupcakes were for. They are lovely.
I did a food page article on Wales once and made Welsh cakes. They are pretty yummy,a big hit at my house.

The cupcakes look fantastic! Well, most everything does, but I'd really like that chocolate loaf for lunch! :)
You amaze me with those cupcakes my friend...I love how you decorated them...so so beautiful. Have a great weekend. xoxo
I was inspired to try a noodle stir fry - udon with pork fillet, onion, red capsicum, baby corn and sugar snap peas in oyster sauce - it was pretty good and the kids ate quite well. A veritable success!
There's a little something waiting for you over at my place.
oh my gosh, those cupcakes look orgasmic! and you put so much detail into them! wow.
just so you know, there's an award for you in my "i'm a slacker" post!
I love cupcakes and they look so gorgeous. This post has made me very hungry. By the way, I was directed here by Mim of Mim's Muddle.
I think the gates of heaven are lined with cupcakes. They must be because those look divine.
Oh, I like them, I do. I need me some cupcakes right now!!!
Awww! The cupcakes are too pretty to eat. Especially the butterfly one. I love the scallops and your roasted artichoke salad....
Holy cow am I ever hungry now! When is dinnertime?
your cupcakes look amazing and they're just how i like them best: with lots of pretty and yummy frosting! mmmm! and the rest of your dishes look equally as delicious--you are one gifted woman! oh how i wish i had the knack to make such good food!!! love to you!
Welsh cakes? They look wonderful.
I'm also drawn to that scallop and pan-fried greens with artichoke hearts.
Your food always looks amazing. Happy Easter! X
Happy Easter!!
Beth
100 cupcakes? awesome! how'd u get the pink icing totally flat? did u drizzle it?
Scrappysue, it was butter icing from an icing bag, drizzled icing, made runny and poured on top and royal icing, cut out with a cutter. :O)
oh, you've put me in the mood for sesame chicken, i must put it on the menu for next week. glad you stopped by today, you were missed.
