Navajo cupcakes @ Cake International

Here's something a bit different... A few pics of our entry for the cupcake class in this year's Cake International show at ExCel London. My old pal Jemma created these Navajo-inspired cupcakes which not only feature some pretty cool sugarcraft, hand-painting and piped icing but also come in a smokey Lapsang and Maple flavour, redolent (she says) of cool nights around smokey fires on Dinetah mountain. That all sounded a bit far fetched to me, but in fact they turned out delicious.

Cake International is on from today until Sunday afternoon, with a whole host of great cake artists and cake supply companies exhibiting. If you don't yet have tickets I'd strongly recommend a visit - you can buy on the door and the competition cakes in particular are truly spectacular. I snapped a few pics of some of the entries - unfortunately the stands don't show who made each one but if your work appears drop us a line in the comments below as we'd love to add a credit.

UPDATE:

Epic win! Congrats to Jemma for winning the Gold Medal in the Cake International Cupcake Class! So proud... *snif*
