December Diary

Knutsford Farmer's Market - 6th Dec
Picadilly Gardens, Manchester - 12th and 13th Dec

Take some cupcakes home this year! Who likes Christmas cake anyway?

i love cake loves Christmas!


Now we're not usually ones for celebrating Christmas in November but here in cakeland things are different. For one, a celebration of any kind is an excuse for new sprinkles. But more importantly you need to get your orders in before we run out of mini snowflakes.
i love cake have been experimenting with some new flavours to cheer you up this winter -
gingerbread, chocolate orange and mint choc chip. They're so tasty it seems a shame to say goodbye after Christmas!
On another note, we've had a change of heart when it comes to icing as you might have noticed. These yummy big fat swirls were made with our brand spanking new piping nozzle, and we think they look irresistable.

Piccadilly Gardens Farmer's Market






We really like the Manchester markets. Actually we really like all markets but Manchester's are nice and busy, fun and very friendly indeed. This was our first time at Piccadilly Gardens and it was really cool. Partly thanks to our good neighbours Duerdens Fudge and Toffee (going since 1922! Pretty cool. Even more so because they still have the origional toffee hammer. Amazing!), but mostly thanks to the good people of Manchester who bought lots of cakes and paid us lovely compliments that kept us going despite our tired up-all-night-baking heads.
See you there in a month, or if you can't possibly wait that long (birthday? party? bad day? munchies? addiction?) give us a ring and we'll see what we can russle up xxxx

Knutsford Famer's Market




This morning we were up bright and early for the Knutsford Farmers Market. Our first time there and what a great market! Unfortunatly we spent most of our earnings on the other stalls...but who could resist all that lovely fresh food?! Not us! You should go and check it out - the Cloverbank Organic Farm sausages are a winner.

Halloween Cupcakes



Boo! Here are some cakes we made for Halloween. The sprinkles are wicked - little black cats and ghosts and bats. I wish Halloween was longer!
