Fairy Cupcakes

I found these two plates at a local home ware shop very

randomly I must say and I just fell in love with them :)

So what you need are :)

- 115g unsalted butter

- 115g caster sugar

- 2 eggs, beaten

- 115g self raising flour

- sugar flowers/hundreds and thousands/chocolate to decorate.

- 200g icing sugar

- 2 tbs warm water

Just place the sugar and butter in a large bowl and cream together.

After add the eggs and mix well.

When done, add the flour lightly and evenly.

Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and leave in for 15-20 minutes.

Mix the icing sugar together with the water and spread on the fairy cakes.

And finally decorate as desired.

Enjoy :)

Simple Sunday - 200th Post!

Spotted!

So, lately I've been asked a lot about how to spot a fake YSL arty ring...as they are quite 'new' to the market so it may be more difficult to spot an authentic and a fake replica.

The first obvious thing to look out for is the price. YSL rings are usually sold for about $250 altough they could be found at a cheaper price from Ebay, but be careful ladies....before buying anything from online stores make sure that the seller is an honest one and an authorised seller of the brand, if not here are some tips how to spot a fake : )

Spotting a fake is actually very simple if you compare with real YSL arty rings

Above it's a fake YSL ring purchased from Ebay

& here is a real YSL ring

Take a look of both gold tones...the fake is a faded greenish gold whilst the real YSL ring has a textured gold-finish metal setting encases a brilliant glass stone.

& Obviously YSL rings come with a YSL box and a pouch!...altough in some cases when you buy second hands they may be listed as without a box.

Also, take a look at the ring itself the lower part is much higher than the replica.

& the textured details on the real YSL is more clear than the fake.
