Christmas presents

This Christmas, i love cake teamed up with Magnetic North to make some super cute presents for their clients. 

Each spangly gold box had almost everything you need to make i love cake's Christmas cupcakes - a very secret recipe (shhh), piping bag and nozzle, even spanglier cases, Christmassy sprinkles, chocolate...cinnamon sticks...the lot. What a lucky lot.

A Winter Wedding

Ooo Christmassy wedding cakes for Marie. I like these. I think these photos look a bit shabby but these cakes looked a real treat in all their silver and red finery. I just love those little sugar flowers too. They just seem to make the perfect little cake.

Birthday Butterflies

Zareen asked us to deliver some surprise birthday cakes to her sister Hina - butterflies, flowers and hearts. Pretty and girly.

First Birthday cupcakes

We made these for JoJo's, ahem, first birthday.

Christmas Market

We'll be churning out Christmas cakes a plenty this weekend for the Manchester Real Food Market.
Open on Friday and Saturday - 9.30am ish - sell out!
Special Christmas flavours - Spiced Chocolate Orange and Mint Choc Chip.

November Market

Here is a pic from our stall a couple of weeks ago. You may notice a lack of cupcakes - we kind of felt like baking something new for a change, and wondered if you guys fancied trying something new too.

You kind of did (especially brownies) but we gotta say, the cupcakes flew off the stall the quickest, followed by other cakey treats. So it turns out you really do love cake.

Next month there will be a mountain of cupcakes we promise.

This weekend

Don't forget we're at Piccadilly Gardens market today and tmw. Feeling a bit experimental, we decided to try some new recipes this month. So get on down there for brownies, flapjack, cookies, cakes and a few of your favourite cupcakes.

Council Cakes

More cupcakes for Manchester City Council's New East Manchester department. This time we made them a tower of vanilla, lemon, chocolate and mint choc chip cakes. Sweet!

Halloween cakes

Gareth is starting his new job at Wonder tomorrow and wanted to sweeten his fellow designers up with some cupcakes. We chose these Halloween sprinkles because...well really because they're just pretty cool. And it feels kind of Halloweeny and frosty outside. Enjoy!

i love cake's first celebrity order....

When we were asked to make cakes for Davina McCall's birthday we were pretty excited and a little bit giddy. A celebrity! Eating cake! Eating our cakes! Check out her Twitter page:

All boxed up and ready to go

Cakes for Granada TV

Channel 5 wanted to say thank you for being jolly nice people to Granada TV, and what better way than with a giant box of cupcakes.

Autumn Wedding

The lovely Laura got married at the lovely Cresswell Hall last Saturday. There was a distinct feel of Autumn in the air at this wedding. Oranges, purples and pumpkins of the tables.
We made Laura a mix of flavours topped with colours to match, including some deep purple blackberries.
Congratulations Laura!

Trouble Afoot

Bad news I'm afraid. The British Defence League are having a knees up in the city centre on Saturday and as a result have scared most of the market traders off....including i love cake.

Sorry! Buy if anyone wants to order some cakes for delivery we'll be on it in a flash. Just say the words 'need cake' and we're there.

Next market: 13th and 14th November.

Hello folks. Just to let you know we'll be at Manchester Farmer's Market this Friday and Saturday.

Flavour of the Month is After Eight - rich, sticky chocolate cake topped with a chilly minty frosting. 

See you there!

Super Chocolate Birthday Cakes

We say Super Chocolate because these cakes are indeed super chocolatey. Rich chocolate cake, chocolate and Oreo icing topped with, yep, more chocolate (and a little bit of glitter. Well it is a birthday). A true treat.
Happy Birthday Lesley's nephew! Don't eat them all at once!

English Garden Party Wedding

Liz got married today at the beautiful Combermere Glasshouse. The sun was shining, the bunting was up and errr, the cupcakes were baked.

A beautiful sunny market day.

Delicious flavour of the month this June is Elderflower. Bit old fashioned elderflower but believe us it's a goodun. Lovely with gin and mint actually which a friend made for us last week. Come and sample some tasters and see for yourself! (not gin, cupcakes. But maybe it'll get you in the mood for a gin afterwards)

Cherry and almond

We love cherry and almond. Mmm like a bakewell tart. So when Sam asked for cherry and almond cakes for her wedding we were more than happy to oblige. And make a few extra for ourselves!

Summer wedding cakes

We had a lovely drive through Lancashire to Mitton today to deliver Sam's wedding cupcakes.

Sam chose a mix of flavours, topped with some pretty, summery decorations including fresh cherries and rose petals and buds. Delicious.
