Hello lovelies, I have been super busy preparing for halloween and part of that preparation included making these fun halloween cupcakes for our party. I used a basic vanilla cake recipe and brought some cute halloween themed decorations, gel food colouring and cupcake cases. 

  1. The first thing you need to do is put all of your ingredients into a bowl and mix them together, either with a wooden spoon or electric whisk.
  2. As I wanted the actually cupcake to be coloured I split the cake mix and added some of the gel colouring until I was happy with the colour it produced.
  3. You then want to put your cupcake cases ready onto your cake tin and start putting an even amount of mixture into each of the cases.
  4. Depending on what mix you have used the oven temperature and cooking time may vary.
  5. To test whether your cupcakes are done you must dip a knife into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean this means that it is done, if there is wet cupcake mix on it still they need longer.
  6. You can then put your cakes onto a cooling rack and must wait until they are completely cold before you can start icing them.
  7. Once your cakes are cool you will need to make some frosting I made butter icing mixing butter and icing sugar together until I was happy with the flavour. I also added a tiny drop of vanilla extract and food colouring to make the icing more halloween themed.
  8. I then pixed my nozzle and put it and the icing into my piping bag and began to decorate.
  9. You can easily experiment with the piping bag, creating different designs and patterns.
  10. I also used my different sprinkle decorations and these cool candy eyes.
  11. Once you have finished decorating your cakes they are ready to eat!












I hope that you enjoyed this post and maybe try making your own halloween cupcakes. Stay tuned for more posts like this.

Much love

Hello lovelies, so today I have a Lush bath bomb review/demo for you. Now that I live in a student flat that does not have a bath I do not get to enjoy this wonderful products as often as I would like, but when I visit home I make the most of using the bath. 

I recently tried out my Frozen bath bomb, which is of course inspired by the film. I love its bright blue colour and it also has a slight shimmer on it. It has a floral scent as it is made up of grapefruit oil, neroli oil and rose oil. When I put it in the water it instantly started changing colour, my favourites are always ones that make the water a bright colour. As it fizzed I began to notice the water started turning shimmery, not full of glitter as such just a shimmer/glisten so you are not going to be covered in noticeable glitter when you get out. 

I would definitely repurchase this bath bomb, I loved the scent and I really enjoyed watching turn the water into this extremely bright blue. It was so bright that I was worried about it staining the bath, but there was no sign of staining afterwards.

It travelled around the bath quite a lot spinning around as it fizzed away. I also filmed it so keep any eye on my youtube channel where I will be uploading a demo soon.








I hope that you enjoyed this post, keep an eye out for the demo video coming soon.
Get your frozen bath bomb here for £3.95.

Lots of love

For university we recently were put in groups and given a task to produce a piece of work in the space of a week. Due to our group being super organised and knew exactly what we wanted to do we managed to produce our pieces of work in just three days. 

I decided to make a short look book moving image piece and the other members (who are modelling in the video) just took photos. I was inspired by short campaign/adverts for clothing brands that you may see on the TV or online. I also took some photos to go along side the video. Here is what I produced, I hope that you enjoy.









Thanks for checking out this post, please stay tuned for more.

Much love,
