(The competition is only open to UK residents and it will close on 31/01/13)

Competition Time!

 

Competition Alert!

 

 

 

Well, I haven't written on my blog for a while!  The business has grown quite substantially since I last posted, and I never seem to find the time to get on here.  Facebook seems to have taken over as a way of promoting the business, although this is slipping lately too.

 

However, as a huge thank you to all my fans on facebook, I have THREE fantastic cake stands to give away courtesy of Wedding Acrylics.

 

Wedding Acrylics are based just north of Cardiff, and produce a very high quality range of cupcake stands, as well as lots of other cake goodies.  If you haven't checked out their website, then you must - they sell loads of other products besides cupcake stands. They even run sugarcraft workshops.

 

 http://www.weddingacrylics.co.uk/

 

All you have to do to enter is answer a question about one of my cakes.  There is a pig celebration cake lurking in the photo gallery on my facebook page, made for Elle who was 10.  Just answer the following question, emailing your answer to amanda@cleverlittlecupcake.co.uk, stating "2012 Competition" in the subject bar.

 

Q:  What colour is the balloon?
 

 

There will be three names drawn at random, each winning a great little cupcake stand.

The competition will be open until the 2nd of January, so plenty of time to get your entries in!  Best of luck!

There are three stands to choose from - the winner will get the choice of these three:

1)  Hot Pink Petal Stand - three tiers (Colour 004)



 

2)  Baby Pink Round Stand - 3 Tier (colour 007)


 

 

3)  White Heart Shaped Stand - 3 Tier (colour 003)



The runner-up will get the next choice, and the third place will have the remaining stand.

The very best of luck!

Award Winning Cupcakes!

This weekend, we have been awarded 2nd place in the prestigious Fair Cake's christmas cupcake competition!  We entered our cakes on a whim - these cakes were an actual order for a children's party.  We never thought that we could ever win, since we haven't been up and running for very long.

Here are the cupcakes:

The complete set of cupcakes can be seen on Flickr:

We are so overwhelmed, and over the moon!

Up, up and away!!

Well, the website is well and truly up and running!  How exciting is that?!!  Which means that I now have to market myself as soon as possible.  

I have leaflets, so look out for one dropping through your door very soon!

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far, especially to my family who must be so fed up of the constant cupcake talk and future ideas.

If you have time, please visit the website:

Thanks!! xx

Busy few weeks, sorry!

It's been a bit hectic over the last few week, so sorry for not posting anything for a while.

Me and my mum held a stall at the Ramsbottom food festival last weekend, and we had a ball meeting all our new customers!  So much so, we have signed up to do the same event at Christmas - keep your eyes peeled for lovely bespoke christmas cuppies!!

 My mum helped out too and was amazing!:



Sorry for the bad picture - Dad's thumb I'm afraid!

We had a few left over, and they went down a storm with the trick or treaters!

Besides the usual simple flavours, I did a large Hallow'een tower with 96 cupcakes, and a few stands with specialised cupcakes on them:

This week I have been doing a Dr Who Themed birthday, big cake and little cakes:

Let's hope the lucky little boy loves them!

Finally, here are some fashion cupcakes I made for my sister's birthday.  I had fun making these, and will be making these for a fashion show in a few eeks time:

Out damn'd spot, out I say!!!!

This week, I have made a large batch of Macbeth themed cupcakes for my son's school, as they have been studying the play all term.

According to George, they went down a storm (well the kids were noshing away when they came out of school!).

My nephew has been very poorly this week, so I thought a box of get well soon cupcakes might help!!

And finally, here is a picture of the "99" Cupcakes also made this week.  The kids will have a sugar rush after eating one of these!!!

Get ready for Halloween and Bonfire Night!

Halloween is a coming, quicker than you might think!  This weekend, I have been busy in the kitchen creating samples for the deluxe and standard ranges of cupcakes for both Halloween and Bonfire night.

The deluxe boxes take alot longer to handcraft, where as the standard box decorations are a little easier and take less time.

If you would like to order a box, then please email me, with at least a week's notice (especially for the deluxe box).

Welcome to my brand spanking new blog!

Hello!  And welcome to my new blog, where you will read the highs and lows of my daily duties as a newly formed cake decorator.

I have been making cakes, and mainly cupcakes for the last six months, and decided to make a go of it as a business after much encouragement from friends and family.  The orders aren't rolling in yet, but I am hoping they will, in time, after word gets out!  So, for the time being, I am spending my husband's hard earned cash on cutters and ingredients practising on family members, and selling the odd box here and there.

The website is currently under construction, so I am hoping that will drum up some business once it is up and running.

I hope you enjoy reading about my cakes, and looking at the pictures I have uploaded (eventually, once I get the hang of it all!)
