National Cupcake Championships 2012

Hi All, it's been a long and busy day!

I attended the National Cupcake Championships this moring. I didn't win an award :-( this year, but I did have some fun! After I safely got of the train at Charing Cross, I came out of the station and in true British weather style, it started to rain, just my luck! I made it to the ICA in one piece!

CC Treats Entry - Bourbon Orange & Choc Chip Cupcakes

Our cupcakes were a zesty orange and choc chip cake, filled with an orange & bourbon whipped cream filling, topped with an Orange zest & Bourbon infused Chocolate Ganache. A quick registration, and boy oh boy had I forgotten about the stairs at the ICA, I made it back downstairs, waiting for the day's proceedings to start. I met Vy from The Bake Shop UK, so we buddied each for the rest of the day and also spoke to a few other bakers, Chatter Cakes, Bollymix(sorry I forgot the other names)!! Presentations and demos commenced shortly after 10am, with presentations from one of the David's from Outsider Tart (very funny), Cerys Glen from Clic Sargent, Cacao Barry Chocolate, Shuga Budz Bakery, and Ms Cupcake(another fun presentation).
A yummy lunch followed with some quick networking with Gill from Secret Ingredients and few more bakers and then onto the judges presentation. The overall winner was Upsy Daisy Bakery's Mojito Cupcake (it looked so good!!), who were also in my category, Best Cupcake Made with Alcohol, well done to them and all the other winners!! The judges to name a few were Edd Kimber, Fiona Cairns, Will Torrent and Ms Cupcake.

I forgot my camera, so here are a few pics I took with my phone. A big thanks to the organisers, British Baker for putting this event together for us!

Tangerine & Fuchsia Wedding Cake details

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of delivering a 4 tier wedding cake for a couple who held their wedding reception at the Hilton Dartford. The couple's wedding colour palette was tangerine, fuchsia and ivory, with tangerine being the dominant colour for the cake decor. The cake was made up of 2 tiers of Red Velvet Cake with a White Chocolate Cream Cheese filling (bottom & third tiers), Lemon Blueberry Cake with a fluffy Lemon Buttercream filling (2nd tier) and a Rich Fruit Cake (top tier). The cake was finished off with Ivory fondant icing, and decorated with a thick tangerine ribbon and thin fuchsia ribbon, a tangerine bow and diamante brooch and the top of the cake was adorned with tangerine & pink sugar flowers.

Here are few shots we took, whilst the venue was being setup. 



More cake treats following soon!

April Days

April is my month! I am an April baby! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL babies!!

I've been gone for a while, but I am back! I have been very under the weather to the point where I thought I was going blind (drama queen)! I've had some serious allergies (and it's not even sunny here in London!), but I am fully recovered and back to being busy, busy!

So, my birthday came & went too fast. I was sick and my precious girls made me a lovely cake surrounded by plenty of strawberries and dark chocolate...yum!!
