Cadburys Purple and Ivory Cupcake Tower

Here's a cupcake tower we created for our friend's wedding. Featuring ivory and Cadburys-style purple buttercream and fully edible glitter, these cupcakes are baked into Cadburys-style purple cases and the tower is topped with a gluten free vanilla cake. 

Massive congratulations to Lydia and Chris! 

I heart 1980s!

Being an 80s child myself (albeit early 80s) I am partial to all things 1980s, so when I was asked to create a cupcake tower for a friend's birthday I couldn't wait! 

There were cupcakes with Rubix cubes on, Pacman, some with 40 on in neon colours and the I love 80s ones, which were my personal favourite. 

Happy Birthday Annelie! xx

Hot Pink and Orange Gerbera Cupcake Tower for a Wedding

Apologies for the long absence - it's been a busy old time with Holly's first Christmas and the run up to that including various illnesses and a lot of sleepless nights! 

Here's a wedding cupcake tower I created earlier in the year. Hot pink and orange were the colours, and the  bride and groom requested simple gerbera flowers on their cupcakes. There were also some mini cupcakes for smaller mouths :)

Congratulations!

Gold and Ivory Roses Cupcake Tower

This is a wedding cupcake tower I delivered to Holdsworth House Hotel in Halifax over the weekend.

The bride had a gold and ivory scheme, so we baked vanilla and lemon cupcakes in gold cases. Half were topped with gold edible sparkles and half were put into ivory cupcake wrappers with a rose theme. The top cake was iced in ivory sugarpaste and had a large ribbon rose.

Massive congratulations to Kate and her hubby! xx

Navy and Ivory Blossom Wedding Cupcake Tower

Here's a cupcake tower we delivered the other week to Tankersley Manor Hotel at Barnsley. Took my whole family on the delivery (haha!) and while I was setting up the tower, my hubby sat in the car with our baby and saw the West Brom players! Apparently H was less than impressed with the likes of Ben Foster though.

The top of this cake tower was baked by the groom's mum and was a rich fruit cake, which I marzipanned and decorated to match their scheme. The cupcakes had a singe navy blue blossom on, and were encased in a beautiful butterfly wrapper.

Gorgeous!

Hot Pink and Ivory Cupcake Tower

Here's a gorgeous hot pink and ivory cupcake tower we did for Marcia's wedding. 85 cupcakes and a top 6" round cake, all in delicious vanilla flavour. Delivered to the YMCA in Huddersfield, a fabulous venue!

Congratulations to Marcia and her new hubby! xx

Cadbury's purple wedding cupcake tower

Here's a wedding cupcake tower I created for Claire and her hubby last week. Delivery was to the Hey Green Hotel in Marsden, Huddersfield (and I have to say a massive thank you to Alex, the wedding coordinator there. He stopped me from crashing my car into a wall!!).

Cupcakes were a mix of chocolate and vanilla, with the top cake being a gluten free lemon sponge. The chocolate cupcakes were iced with purple frosting and had beautiful butterfly wrappers distinguishing them from the vanilla ones. Each cupcake was topped with an edible butterfly.

The top cake had a topper on which the bride supplied, but looked brilliant!

Congratulations to Claire and her new hubby xx

Claret/Burgundy Heart Wedding Cupcake Tower

It's been a while since my last post, which is very naughty of me and I'm very very VERY sorry! I've been enjoying my maternity leave before our baby arrives, making the most of the time I have before the sleepless nights, the sick, the crying (and that's just from me and my hubby!). 

Here's a few photos kindly provided by the gorgeous bride of a wedding cupcake tower we delivered to Wood Hall Spa near Wetherby (lovely hotel, by the way. It's got a spa and everything!). 

The theme was claret and ivory, with the bride even having claret nails for her big day. 

There were 70 cupcakes altogether, with a mix of vanilla and chocolate sponge, each having ivory vanilla frosting swirls and a heart in either claret or ivory on the top. 

Big big congratulations! xx

Black and Silver 21st Birthday Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a surprise birthday party and were all vanilla topped with vanilla frosting. Some had black stars, some had silver stars and some had silver '21's on. 

They were displayed under a 6" round cake on a tower, and this is the photo my customer sent along with a message to say they were delicious!

Valentine's Day Cupcakes

Here are some of our Valentine's Day cupcakes. Available in gift boxes of 12 or 6, these make a delicious treat  for your sweetheart. We can personalise as requested :)

Fireman Sam Cupcakes

It's always nice to get repeat orders from customers, so I was really pleased to be asked to make some cupcakes for one of my recent customer's nephew's birthday party. He loves Fireman Sam, so I made vanilla cupcakes topped with vanilla frosting and a fondant disc with an edible image of Fireman Sam on. There were six different images which made a nice variety in the 24 cupcakes. 

These cupcakes are £1.75 each, and we can make them with literally any image on. Please contact us for more details. 

Thanks for looking! x

Chocolate and Blue Giant Cupcake for Christening

Katie asked if I could make a giant cupcake for her son Finley's christening with some "normal" sized cupcakes for her guests. The colour scheme was specified by Katie, and here's the final result!

Inside the giant cupcake was a vanilla sponge cake topped with chocolate frosting, and the normal cupcakes were chocolate sponge with chocolate frosting, made with finest Fair Trade cocoa.

Vintage Style Butterfly Cupcakes for a Wedding

Over the summer I was asked to create the wedding cupcakes for the fabulous Richard Daniels and his lovely wife Gill. Richard is a swing singer who I've had the pleasure of listening to many times - check out his website http://www.richsingsswing.co.uk/. 


Here are the cupcakes - vanilla sponge topped with vanilla frosting, with a fondant butterfly. Some cupcakes were presented in butterfly themed cupcake wrappers, which added to the overall feel. 

Here is a professionally taken shot of the cupcakes take by Stott and Atkinson Photography of Leeds (www.stottandatkinson.com)

Purple and Ivory 50th Birthday Cupcakes

These were ordered as a surprise for a lady's 50th birthday. I love being part of surprises! My brief was to make 18 vanilla cupcakes, decorated in purples and ivories. Some were to have a "50" on, and some a butterfly. Job done! 

I like the colours on these - they match the Jo's Cakes' purples!

Thomas the Tank Engine 3D Carved Cake

This was my first attempt at a 3D Thomas cake, and overall I was pretty pleased with how he turned out. His face was a bit on the small side (he looks like he's eaten the Fat Controller!), but I know for next time! I also made some vanilla cupcakes to go with this order featuring Thomas' face. 

Thanks for looking x

Red and Ivory Giant Cupcake

Here's a giant chocolate cupcake I baked for Zoe's 18th birthday. Her mum asked if I could make it in reds with a big bow so I made an edible bow (a lot nicer than a ribbon bow I think!), and here's the finished cake. 

I hope Zoe likes her special birthday cake!
