Cupcake D’Lights
By HeatherLynn on October 6th, 2009 . Filed under: Artwork, Bakeries, Birthday Ideas, Blogs, Cupcake Ideas, Decorating, Kitchen .Once again as I was doing one of my searches for all things cupcakes online I came across these lovely intricate detailed cupcakes. I contacted Zahirah Motala that master mind behind these cupcakes of Cupcake D’Lights.

Where is your company located?
I’m based in Durban which is situated on the east coast of southern Africa.
How did you get the idea to ‘paint’ cupcakes, such as your cupcakes and tea cupcakes?
When I decided to do the vintage tea set I really wanted to paint on a design as I love the gorgeous designs you find on the china especially the vintage cups and saucers.
What are a few cupcake tools you couldn’t live without?
That’s a hard one as I really love my tools which I’ve bought over some time. But my favorite ‘find’ was a box of old mini cutters which was being sold for next to nothing and there are some jewels in there which I know I’ll never find again! So it would def be those :)
What is your inspiration for these lovely cupcakes?
Inspiration comes from everything and everywhere sometimes just a pretty piece of fabric or a tea cup might spark an idea. Lately I don’t have time to play as I get fully booked out and it’s generally what people request from me that I need to interpret their brief and add my unique touch. Sometimes a mistake or something you throw together becomes such a huge hit :) I enjoy those ones the best!
When did your love of cupcakes start?
I am an oil artist by profession so when I was doing a search for pretty cupcakes to paint and I came across Kylie Lambert amazing cupcakes and I fell in love! She has been a huge support and great friend and I really owe it all to this amazing personality.
Do you eat any of the creations you create?
No I never have the time :) but we often bake for the family and I enjoy making new flavors just for home, but the decorated cupcakes never get eaten at home :)
If you had to eat one flavor of cupcake (& frosting) for the rest of your life what would it be?
Kylie shared with me her very amazing chocolate mud cupcake which I only make for special people and for myself! It’s the most divine cupcake ever which I team it up with my delicious cappuccino nougat ganache mmmmm I could never tire of it!
Anything else you want to share about yourself or your company?
I’m really excited that South Africa has finally caught onto the cupcake fever I started way back in early 2006 and everyone laughed at me when I caught onto the fever. I pride myself in being the first person here to do decorated cupcakes. I also see my ideas and styles all over now (Kylies as well) and it’s great to see that you are an inspiration to others.
I would like to thank Zahirah for taking the time to answer these questions.
Please check out her blog for more information and some amazing looking ( & I am sure tasting ) cupcakes!

The modern town of Durban dates from 1824, while a party of 25 males underneath British Lieutenant F. G. Farewell arrived from the Cape Colony and dependent a cost on the northern shore of the Bay of Natal, near as of late’s Farewell Square. Accompanying Farewell was once an adventurer named Henry Francis Fynn (1803–1861). Fynn used to be ready to befriend the Zulu King Shaka by serving to him to get better from a stab wound he suffered in battle. As a token of Shaka’s gratitude, he granted Fynn a “25-mile strip of coast 100 miles in depth.”
