Comments on: Mother’s Day Cupcake Bouquet http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/05/10/mothers-day-cupcake-bouquet/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Thankfully tonight they're not doing it. It doesn't help that I'm a very light sleeper :( Thankyou! I bought glace peaches from my favourite dried fruit stall at Paddy's markets. They're so fresh and good there. I don't often see them where they're purchased by weight, usually only the packs of glace fruit at health food stores. I think yogurt and sour cream lend the cake a softness, apparently some chemical reaction? I don't know but I always sour my milk in cakes with lemon juice. That's my biggest hint for soft cakes. Thanks again for your lovely comments! :) Hi Tuulikki-Thankyou! Hehe I'm no artist but thanks for the compliment :) Hi Maria-I know, it’s so stressful and noisy.

I hate roadworks.. it really stresses me out to live with any kind of construction nearby. I don't know how people living in brand new estates cope with all the new places being built around them? A lovely idea for Mother's Day, well done Lorraine! I don't think I've ever seen glace peaches.. or maybe I've just not paid attention? Did you get yours from the supermarket? I love yoghurt of sour cream in any cake batter (hence my banana bread recipe had it!). This would be an excellent table centrepiece for *any* occasion! :-D The orange/peach combo sounds very good to me also. Ugh!

I fully sympathise! Hi giz-Thankyou! We had some people pointing to it and whispering when we brought it today. I think it was good whispering (well I hope anyway! :) ) Hi LisaRene-Thanks so much :) Haha I'm not very creative, just frantic and I hope that everything works out in the end :lol: Hi grace-thanks so much! :) Oh yes, a dog is just as annoying, probably more as it’s not constant like drilling.

I haven't a creative bone in my body and could never successfully make a cupcake bouquet in a million years. Nice job! Awww, that’s lovely!
