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.

Promo cakes!

i love cake have been busy bees this week, whipping up boxes of tasty samplers for a select (and lucky might we add) few. Check out the cute heart tag!

Keep your eyes out for our next post - i love cake is about to get all Christmassy x

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!

Where we are in November

I love cake will be at two markets in November -

1st Nov: set your alarm for an early start at Knutsford Farmer's Market, 8.30am until 1.30pm

7th/8th Nov: Manchester Farmer's Market, Picadilly Gardens, 10am until 6pm

Manchester Fine Foods Market

This time last week we were baking the first batch of cupcakes for the Manchester Fine Foods Market. It's all over now but what a great week! We loved every minute (apart from the odd late night panic over sunken cherry cakes). We met some really nice people - especially our super helpful neighbours Friendly Food and Drink - and the stall was a great success. Thanks to everyone who bought our cakes and don't forget you don't have to wait until the next Farmer's Market to stock up - i love cake is ready to put it's pinny back on should you have a party to cater for or just fancy giving someone a sweet little box of cupcakes. See you next month in Piccadilly Gardens!
