P and B fancied an end-of-school/Christmas treat, so asked for a dozen cupcakes in Red Velvet and Banoffee (spiced banana cupcakes with toffee buttercream icing). I had bought some gorgeous icing toppers from Jade at The Cupcake Company, and was only too keen to use them and make decorations to coordinate. You'll recognise them from the Teacher treats post, as they were done soon after.
I had just recently visited my local TK Maxx store, here in Dundee, and bought myself some Jem bow cutters. I've tried in vain to make bows free-hand, based upon watching a selection of YouTube videos, and despaired of ever doing them well. Then I spotted the small bow cutter set at the store, and didn't think twice. I was able to follow the instructions, and was really pleased with the result.
These decorations were really fun to make, and coordinated well with the vintage style toppers I planned to use on the Red Velvet cupcakes.
The banoffee ones I did a little bit differently this time, as I had some toffee sauce leftover.
They look pretty luscious, right??! They got great reviews too :)
