HAPPY 2013!!

Wishing you a very happy & blessed 2013!!

Today's our first day back from a well deserved 2 week break! I have a lot of catching up to do and although it's only day 7 of 2013, it's already very busy! I have been off the blog for some time...I have no excuse really, it just got so busy and before we knew 2013 was here! 2012 was a good year, but 2013 will be even better! We have made a lot of exciting changes and our new look site will  be live soon, it's just taking a little longer, so please bear with us!

In the meantime, here are some pretty cake pics from 2012...

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!
