Valentine’s cupcakes and cookies

It’s not too late to order your Valentine’s Day cupcakes and cookies! They are the ideal gift to show how much you care about someone, can be personalised and taste much better than flowers 🙂 A box of 6 cupcakes in a red gift box tied with ribbon and your personal message is £10 and...

Wordless Wednesday – I can bake too!

Looks like Grace has inherited the love of baking that runs in our family 🙂

Cinnamon rolls

After reading the mouth-watering blog post and recipe on Meridian Ariel I just had to make these cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon is a big favourite in our house and these just seem perfect to have in this chilly weather. You can find the recipe here and I won’t copy it across as Apryl explains it perfectly...

Homemade Christmas – Part 3

As you’ve probably guessed, it’s my job to bring a Christmas Cake to the family gathering every year. This year I was a bit rushed as I had several orders to complete before we went away, but I found time to make some little penguins out of gumpaste and some sugarpaste Christmas trees covered in...

Homemade Christmas – Part 1

For the past few years I have tried to make as many things as I can at Christmas time. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, I love crafting and Christmas is a great time to try making lots of different things. Secondly, I like the fact that a lot of thought, effort and love...

Recipes

Over the past few months I have had a lot people leave comments on my blog asking me to send them my recipes, especially for the giant cupcake (even though the tin comes with a recipe). This has been a tough one for me. I don’t like to disappoint but this is my business, it’s...

Ordering cakes

Firstly I must say a big thank you to Karin from Café Bébé who has included Cake Shop Corner on her Mumpreneurs page. If you haven’t already done so, pop over and have a look at Café Bébé where you will find lots of helpful reviews, mumpreneur listings and competitions. Secondly, I have had a...

Thank you!

Just a quick post to say a big thank you to everyone who has offered to be a guinea pig for my postal cake trials. I had over 20 people contact me via my blog, twitter and Facebook page. I’m just sorry I won’t be able to send a box to everyone, but the courier...

Guinea pigs required!

No, not the small furry variety! I need some willing volunteers to help out with my experiment! For a while I’ve been wanting to try and send some of my cupcakes in the post (well, via courier) to see if this is a possible extension to my cake business. I also have another idea, which...

Chocolate cream biscuits

I have been baking these biscuits since I was a tiny tot and they’ve always been one of my absolute favourites. I’m not sure where the name came from as they don’t have any cream in them (and no actual chocolate)! I imagine it’s either a name my Mum made up for them or that...

Chocolate peanut butter brownies

I thought I’d bake something other than cupcakes for a change and decided on these yummy brownies. I have never been good at reading weights when doing my online shopping and last time I managed to buy the biggest jar of peanut butter I’ve ever seen! Even though I knew Grace would complain, I thought...
