A sneaky peek at some white wedding cupcakes

These little beauties were made for a consultation, their theme as you might have guessed is predominately white! They have gone for a mix of beautiful vintage cupcake designs including cameos, buttons, roses and a little hint of green in some delicate leaves. I cant wait to design these cupcakes and deliver them to the amazing Chatsworth House!

Jam making!

Last night at precisely 11.38pm we finished making all of our raspberry and strawberry jam. It was hard work but worth it!

All of the fruit is from our own allotment so it is organic and very tasty.

I will be using our jam in all of my Victoria sponges and afternoon teas at my cupcake decorating workshops.

Hurray for jam!

Look whose joined the Vintage and Cake team!

We have 8 lovely chickens who will be working hard to produce the fresh free range eggs we use in all of our baking.

They are all the same breed so we cant really tell the difference between each one, I wanted to call them all Mrs Higginbottom but is that just cruel?!

I love them, they are so sweet; they will be a valuable and cherished asset to Vintage and Cake!

Vintage Wedding Cupcakes

I made some vintage style cupcakes for a wedding on Saturday, they had it in a little place called Alison House in Cromford, Derbyshire, it was gorgeous! The bride and grrom were so lovely.

Here are the cupcakes...

Flowers and prettiness

Hello! I have had a very busy week with cupcakes! 500 mini corporate cupcakes on Thursday. 100 blue cupcakes and a giant cupcake for a lovely wedding on Saturday. 135 cupcakes for 15 ladies to decorate at my workshop on Saturday and finally 80 cupcakes for an 80th Birthday for Sunday, phew that is a lot of cupcakes!

Here are the 80th Birthday cupcakes, I will share the wedding cupcakes with you when I have the photographs from the bride.

A busy weekend of wedding cakes

First up on the delivery schedule on Saturday was a VERY heavy 4 tier wedding cake. I couldnt actually lift this cake once it was tiered so my lovely fiance had to help me!



The cake was a medley of lovely flavours, including, a rich fruit cake, a rich chocolate brownie cake, a lemon drizzle and a vanilla bean buttercream. It smelt delicious!



After that was delivered to Donington Park Framhouse safe and sound with flowers placed onto it by Kerry at The Blossom Tree we headed over to Tutbury Castle for our next delivery which was 100 chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and a top tier with an English Country Garden theme, so lots of dolly mixtures and pink roses to tie in with their colour scheme.








The rest of Saturday was mine to relax and then Sunday I ran a cupcake decorating workshop for a hen party of 11 very excitable ladies... then it was home to sleep!

A very glam vintage hen party

I held a cupcake decorating workshop with afternoon tea for 11 very glam ladies on Saturday, they were told to dress in 50's chic (not by me!!) and they certainly did, they all looked amazing!





They each decorated 9 cupcakes and learnt how to pipe with buttercream in two ways, buttercream swirls and buttercream roses, they also learnt how to make and use glace icing plus they had a lesson in sugar rose making and how to use lots of cutters and moulds.



I think they came up with some pretty lovely cupcakes.











Well done girls and congratulations to Tina on her engagement, we wish you a lovely wedding day!!!



We now run 2 new cupcake courses, take a peek at our webiste for details
