When it comes to fairy cakes, I pick cactus themed. Whilst more effort that a buttercream swirl, the cactus piping is still pretty easy to do and satisfying to watch. I chose chocolate cake to represent soil, making them look like potted succulents.

Gluten Free Vegan German Themed Cupcakes
What makes these cupcakes German you ask? The colours, that is all I have loosely tying them to my theme, but they are still delicious 🇩🇪 I kept these ones simple to focus on the colours. They’re a classic vanilla buttercream on chocolate muffin sized cupcakes.

Gluten Free Vegan Rosette Cake

For some reason add salt to your caramel and it feels more grown-up. I think it must be because the salt balances out taste, curbing the sweetness of the caramel.
Chocolate Ganache With A Vegan Option
