So this afternoon I applied skills learnt with Green Stuff in moulding sugar paste and that of using  Vallejo acrylics to painting with chocolate! Here are some of our efforts...

  2. Great stuff!! My 19-year daughter is screaming right now in my ear where she can buy or how to make them.

    1. If it helps(!) these cupcakes were copied from the current (Autumn 2014) issue of Cupcake Heaven (I can't believe I'm typing this!). SWMBO has an online subscription so she can access it on the PC, my iPad etc. More details here. Good magazine - of you like cupcakes! http://www.foodheavenmag.com/buy-online/
