Cupcake Camp Adelaide!

It all went so well! I spent most of Sunday smiling and running around like I was on fire but everything fell into place wonderfully. We raised over $1000 for Camp Quality by selling over 400 cupcakes! I baked over 60 myself and many others put in the hard work and brought loads as well.

Here’s some of mine, also with a secret surprise!

My delicious Jelly Slice Cupcakes, which were gone pretty quickly!

Award winning Oreo Cupcakes (on the bottom row of the stand, which I actually hired for the event)

An old classic favourite, Vanilla Butterfly Cupcakes. These are just wonderful. :)

Red Velvet! These also vanished pretty quickly too, and it was the first time I tried to make the cream cheese frosting for these and it just turned out lovely (thank goodness). I need to get some of the Wilton Red colouring paste for these to get that real red colour instead of a pink ;)

And finally..

OHMYGOSH HAMBURGER CUPCAKES!

Essentially, to make hamburger cupcakes, bake 12 vanilla and six chocolate, cut all of them in half, make up or use some premade green, yellow and red icing and put it together. Oh, and the sesame seeds! They’ll stick on with some orange juice. Everyone thought they were adorable, and they were gone in less than a couple of minutes. :D

The winning cupcake of the day was the vanilla dairy free one – and the recipe for that is on this website! Congratulations Anne on winning that (they are really tasty).

Thanks to Taryn for taking all of these photos while I was setting up, you can see all of them at the Cupcake Camp Adelaide November 2009 Flickr Set.

  1. Oh, wow! Your creations are absolutely stunning, congratulations on your amazing fundraising effort! :) I have never wanted cupcakes more in my life than I do now..

  2. I stumbled accross your blog by using stumbleupon and love the design of the whole thing! I normally skip straight past blogs as I have over 20 in my RSS and dont even have time to read the ones that I have! I am started out as a blogger myself and always tried to keep the design simple like yours as I think it is crucial, if you can back it up with some lovely pics like yours! Keep up the nice work! Cheers!

    Hi! My name is Monnie and I live in Adelaide, Australia. Thanks for stopping by my cupcake blog! I love cupcakes because they bring people joy - so they make me happy in turn. I have got everyone hooked on making them and hopefully soon you will be too!

    My cupcakes have won first and second place at the 2009 Coonalpyn Show so you're looking at award winning cupcakes ;) I also sell them at Cupcake Treats, my business :)
