It's Ekka time again - one of my favourite times of the year! For those not in Brisbane, it's the Royal Queensland Show. I love going to the show and getting in the spirit of it! Nothing can keep me away from the Ekka - not even 2 years ago when I was 39 weeks pregnant!
We had an Ekka theme at our Mainly Music group this week, and I had some cupcakes leftover from the Pine Rivers Show, so I decided to make them into these cute clowns! I just used plain buttercream icing on top, and secured the ice cream cones upside down. I tinted the leftover buttercream red, yellow & blue and just piped on the faces and hat decorations. They were very popular with the kids!
And as revealed on my Facebook page, I entered two categories in the Ekka baking competition this year - carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes. Here they are, ready to submit:
And the exciting news is, I came 2nd in the red velvet cupcakes! Hooray! It was very exciting to go and check them out :-)
It's one better than the 3rd place I got for carrot cake 2 years ago, so next year, I'll be pushing for a first!
Also, here's the link to my Ekka treats from last year (Strawberry Icecream Cupcakes) - they were a super popular post, so check it out!
Hope you're having a great day in the Kitchen!
