CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

I just wanted you to know that K.G. received the cupcakes at her school and was very excited. She told me they are delicious!

The cupcakes looked lovely! Everyone said they tasted great, and thank you for making the special soy order.

Will be in contact soon no doubt :)

“The cupcakes look lovely, great presentation.

My feedback from M.was: "Best cupcake I ever tasted", so a big thumbs up from us both.

Thank you so much for everything.

“Thank you very much for the cup cakes you made for Meg’s birthday.

They looked lovely and tasted delicious.  She was very pleased with them.”

AP, Fenstanton

 

“I just wanted to let you know that my daughter and her friends loved the cupcakes you made for them at the weekend.  They were really pretty.  The service you provided was excellent, particularly the timely delivery and, as

I am a sucker for packaging, the beautiful and stylish presentation of the cakes.  I would definitely come back

for more if I need them in the future!

A.P.

Great Cambourne”

 

I was the lucky recipient of one of your cupcakes on the 16th September. Thank-you, it was delicious!

February Newsletter

1st February 2010

 

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Order a box of 12 beautiful Valentine's Day cupcakes for your loved ones, delivered to their door (check the website for the delivery area covered) or perhaps drop a big hint to your other half! A personalised message can be attached. Book your slot now in order to avoid disappointment! You have the choice of two types of cupcakes:

 

12 x Valentines’ Day ‘Red Velvet’ Cupcakes

Red Velvet Sponge with Vanilla Frosting - in red and white spot cases, decorated with an amazing assortment of designs from red icing plaques, to red roses, red chocolate heart dragees, red sparkles and red & white heart sprinkles. £16.95

12 x Valentine's Day ‘Vintage’ Cupcakes

Vanilla or lemon sponge in pastel cases with pastel frostings, ‘lovehearts’ and pastel non-pareils or sugar strands. £15.95

 

I am also offering the option of attaching a beautiful rose corsage to your box of Valentines' Cupcakes, all handmade to order by Paperwhite Flower Design - full details and photos should be loaded on the website within the next day or two.

 

I seem to be taking more and more large orders for parties and weddings, which is great. I am investing in bigger mixers and 7 tier acrylic stands, so that cupcake towers can be shown off to their best effect.

 

I have also had a couple of orders from people in the USA and New Zealand who have asked me to send cakes to their families in this area - it's a small world!

 

More people are requesting cakes for those who suffer from various allergies, so I am currently working on some gluten-free and wheat-free cake recipes, which I hope to load on the website soon. Testing recipes is always important, but when it comes to replacing regular flour, it is crucial to get the right balance of ingredients.  I think the first cake coming will be a Gluten-Free Lemon Drizzle Cake.

 

I am quite happy to research recipes, if there is something in particular which you would like to try. For instance, the Red Velvet Cupcakes for Valentines Day are a new introduction. I hope you will decide to try them and enjoy them as much we did with the test recipe...

 

 

3rd January 2010

 

Thank you to everyone who has ordered from me during 2009 and for getting the sweet kitchen off to a flying start!

 

January Specials:

I have deliberated long and hard over what to offer as a special in January, that time of year when most of us go on a diet! In the end I decided that if you have a birthday or celebration in January, you might like the choice of something delicious and seasonal, just as in other months of the year, so I have decided to go with a fruit which is only available at this time of year - the Seville orange. There are cupcakes, layer cakes and brownies to choose from - see the Monthly Specials Page for full details.

 

I am in the process of creating a Valentine’s Day page, where you will be able to order delicious gifts for your loved ones, so do keep checking back. Delivery slots are limited, so if you would like something, please do book a slot as soon as possible.

 

This coming year promises to be an exciting and busy one. I have taken several orders for wedding cupcake towers already and this is just one aspect of the business I am going to promote this year. If you have friends and family looking for wedding cupcakes or cakes for any other celebrations, do point them in my direction!

 

May I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2010.

 

11th December 2009

 

The next two weeks will be extremely busy in the lead-up to Christmas, so I am just taking this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Christmas and Prosperous and Peaceful New Year! I am starting to take wedding bookings for 2010, so if this is something you are interested in, please contact me to arrange samples and discuss your ideas.

 

Please note that I am now fully booked for the following dates:

All dates until 29th December 2009, 25-26 June 2010, 6-7 August and 29-30 October 2010.

 

 

1st December 2009

The special offer on Chocolate Roses has now finished. They are available to order for your cakes, but please give 2 weeks notice, so I can be sure of getting stock in. See Gallery for photos.

 

2nd September 2009

I have just set up my blog - www.fromthesweetkitchen.wordpress.com. I have become quite addicted to my blog - check out what I’ve been doing in the sweet kitchen.

 

1st September 2009

 

Now that September has arrived, I am busy planning my Christmas range of cupcakes and iced fruit cakes (it might seem a bit early, I know..).

 

I am also planning to book stalls at local Christmas Shopping Evenings at schools, pre-schools or village halls, so if you know of a local show looking for new and different stallholders, please give them my name or do feel free to contact me. I have had lots of favourable comments from shows I have been to about the contemporary look of the packaging and branding and the 'almost' too perfect to eat cakes! It is also the perfect opportunity to try small quantities of different cookies, brownies and cupcakes, as well as buying my cookie mixes in a jar. These glass preserving jars contain all the dry ingredients you need to make 18 delicious cookies - just add butter, an egg and vanilla extract. They make a great gifts. As I book shows throughout the Autumn, I will list them on my website and I hope you will come along to sample the goods.

 

I have been busy over the school holidays, but now that the new school term is around the corner I intend to put photos on my website of special cakes for weddings, christenings etc. These can be cupcakes or 2" square individual cakes, both of which look amazing piled up on a tiered stand. The individual cakes can be marzipanned and iced or have chocolate panels fixed to the sides. They can be decorated with chocolate roses, handmade sugar paste flowers or cut-outs in many designs. They will also be trimmed with appropriate ribbons. I can offer either of these cakes for weddings, anniversaries, christenings, proms, adult's and children's birthdays and corporate events. Please do contact me for further details and prices.

 

September's special cupcake is: Maple Cupcake with Maple Buttercream

To reflect the changing seasons and the trees changing colour, I am making these maple cupcakes, decorated with a sugar paste maple leaf.

One box of 12 cupcakes costs £13.95.

I hope you will try them.

 

Do look out for my October newsletter containing details of my Halloween Specials. What better way to celebrate Halloween than to give your kids a delicious and spooky cupcake?!

30th May 2009

I have just opened for business and my new web site is now live. I am adding photos to the gallery and the product pages as quickly as I can, so please bear with me on that front.
