Love hearts and rolos...

Last night I made a trial batch of Valentines cupcakes (the boys have gone off to school happy with a nice treat in their lunch-box).

I made vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing with 2 designs.  The first is a lilac sugar heart with a  love heart sweet on the top, in a pink cupcake case.  The other is a 'my last rolo' cupcake in a red cupcake case with tiny red edible hearts sprinkled on the top.  And of course, a rolo.

I'm taking orders to be delivered in the Lancaster area (or collection for orders outside Lancaster) for Monday 13th & Tuesday 14th February, and there is no minimum order.  Single cupcakes will be presented in a clear single cupcake case (see photos below).  For orders of 4 or more, the cakes will be delivered in a white box with special valentines ribbon.

The valentines cupcakes cost £1 per cake, or take advantage of my special offer of 6 for £5. 

You can place an order by emailing me at cupcakeheaven0@gmail.com, by mobile at 07746 497350 or sending me a message on Facebook or Twitter.

And don't forget to treat yourself :-)

Birthday cupcakes and Valentines day.

I've been busy making cupcakes for 2 birthday parties; the first a 60th up in Durham, and today, for a 16th birthday closer to home.

I've found a brilliant local supplier, Cakes, Cookies & Crafts.  See their online shop at http://www.cakescookiesandcraftsshop.co.uk/  They have a brilliant collection service from their warehouse in Morecambe, which saves waiting for a delivery if you need things in a hurry, and also saves the cost of postage.

The 60th birthday cakes had an 'autumn yellow' and gold colour scheme, with handcrafted flowers, hearts and '60's'.  I was really pleased with the results - they looked great on the stand that we have available to hire.

For the cupcakes for today's birthday, I used different colours to ice the cakes as well as the sugar toppings.  I really like the cake with the flake & sprinkles - it reminds me of an ice-cream cone.  My boys were very pleased to hear that there are some left over for them to try after school today.

Have a look at the photos & let me know what you think!

I'm now taking orders for cupcakes for valentines day - as a treat for your special person (or the whole family!).  Orders can be delivered on either Monday 13th or Tuesday 14th February, and there is no minimum order - so you can order just the 1 (but you might feel left out!)

The cakes will come in presentation boxes, as is usual for cupcake heaven orders.

Let me know if you'd like to place an order; email cupcakeheaven0@gmail.com, tel. 07746 497350 of send me a message on facebook or twitter.

Look forward to hearing from you :-)

Happy New Year from cupcake heaven!

Cupcake heaven's kitchen has finally quietened down after an influx of orders for boxes of christmas cupcakes.  I've had some great feedback & lots of cards handed out - thank-you :-)

The year has started off well, with my fist wedding order confirmed for 1st June 2012.  Can't wait.  I'm also having lots of ideas for themed boxes, starting with Valentines Day in February, pictures to follow.

If you have a party, a celebration, an opening or any special occasion coming up, please contact me & I can discuss cupcakes made personally for you.  Prices start from £1 per cupcake, and will be dependent on the topping that you choose.  You can have sugar paste toppings, or sprinkles or crumbled flake bars - whatever takes your fancy.  See my flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cupcakeheaven0/ for the cakes I have created to date, or perhaps have a look at some of the cupcakes on google images - there are some fantastic creations!

I also hire out cupcake stands - ranging from 2 tiers to 7.

As well as creating the cupcakes, I need to become a bit more IT savvy (or have a bit more patience) and set up a proper website,  as well as learning more about the business side. Any tips would be gratefully recieved...

Finally, my luxury buy of this year which I am busy saving up for (and would make life a whole lot easier - as well as being a lovely feature in my kitchen) is a KitchenAid artisan mixer (see picture below).  Not much to ask for!

Happy New Year to you all!
