Cupcake Giveaway 7 May 2011

The winner is.... Kim Morgan!
Congrats! please email enquiries@vanillalily.com.au in regards to claiming your prize.

Read below to find out how to enter and win 6 lovely decorated cupcakes - JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHERS DAY!:

So I stuffed the girls around a bit with dates for the January/February workshop this year. What does this have to do with your cupcake giveaway? Well I promised I would give the lady who made the best cupcakes on the day of this workshop, a coveted Jessie Steele Designer Apron valued at $40. Annnnnyway, rather than just giving your name to enter this cupcake giveaway, I'm going to get you to VOTE on the cupcakes you think were the best of the day to go in the draw to win.
So what you have to do is comment on this post below with your first name AND surname and the corresponding letter (A, B, C, D, E or F) of the cupcakes (pictured below) which you like best.
Your cupcakes will be available for collection only (sorry no delivery available this time!) on 7 May 2011 (Saturday - the day before Mothers Day) at 4pm. Please only enter if you are available to collect them at this time on this day. They will be a delicious banana cake with white chocolate ganache. The banana cake recipe includes rich cream which makes the cake deliciously moist and out of all my recipes, this is my familys favourite one!
You must be a liker of the Facebook page to enter (of course!).
Thanks everyone so much for your participation. All the workshop attendees were so lovely, I can't wait to give the winner her prize :-) and yes the ladies who attended this workshop and made the lovely creations below are also allowed to enter!

YOU HAVE UNTIL 7PM THURSDAY 5 MAY 2011 TO ENTER

Here is a picture of the gorgeous Jessie Steele Apron that one lucky lady will win.

Here is a photo of the latest cupcakes made for our cupcake giveaway winner!

Made in November 2010, I was told by Melinda and James that the wedding cake was AMAHHHZING. Thanks!

Two tier square cake topped with white peonies. The bottom tier is dark chocolate mud cake with dark chocolate ganache. The top tier is hazelnut mud cake layered with milk chocolate ganache and syruped with frangelico mmmmm......

Shona got married...............

.... and it was a toss up between a traditional cake or the rugby jerseys. Looks like the jerseys won!
The wallabies jersey is white chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache and the all blacks is dark chocolate mud cake with dark chocolate ganache.

Time for a giveaway!

Well I've been a bit slack with updating my blog so I'm trying to keep on top of things.

Exciting news that the Facebook Page has reached 2,000 likers. I'd like to do something special but I'm not sure what, I've received some suggestions in the past. I'm thinking a day of caking with me where you'll receive a baked cake to ganache and decorate under my tutorial.

What are the thoughts on this? Good idea? bad? does everyone just want the free cupcakes? I don't know!

Let me know. I'll get something in the works xo

Sad news at Vanilla Lily HQ

Well the time has come to make the announcement that the beautiful Belinda (my partner in crime at VL headquarters) has recently made the decision to hang up her apron and focus full time on her new beautiful little daughter Holly. It certainly hasn't been an easy decision for Belinda to make and we still remain close friends.


Some of you may know Belinda, some won't, but she has been on maternity leave from VL since March 2010. So whilst I've always made the comments on blogs and Facebook about 'we' and 'us' since she has been on leave it's more just a habit then anything else as it has been just me running the show for a little while.


I would like to assure everyone that it is still business here as usual and there is no intention on my part to depart the cakie world. All booked in orders are proceeding as normal :-)


Belinda, I wish you every success in your future ventures. I will miss you very much in the cakie business.


On a happier note, is anyone looking for a part time cakie job? Perhaps I will be needing some help down the track ;-)
