Cake pops

Oh my, a new obsession has been born...

OMG.

So that's what I'll be doing this weekend then...

Hale Farmers Market

So, my first stall at Hale farmers Market was a bit of a mixed bag really. I woke up on Sunday morning completely prepared for all eventualities. Apart from Snow. Error. However, I got there despite having never driven in snow or driven on a motorway (I know, I know, I took a wrong turning alright!). Anyways, it went well, the cakes sold well, here: have some pictures...

Vanilla...

Chocolate with ganache topping...

Rum and Raisin...

and finally, Cookie and Cream (well, Oreo's)...

The Mill Launch 20th Feb 2010

Bonjour! Saturday saw us at the launch of The Mill on Sunderland Street in Macclesfield. We made 50 cakes, all vanilla with buttercream and topped with various flags from the countries that provide the languages that they teach at the mill...

Japanese...

German...

Italian...

Spanish...

and French...

We will be doing another batch of 50 for this weekend for the second launch, as featured in the Macc Express this Wednesday. Unfortunately there isn't an online version of the article, so why not bob down and see for yourself what the mill can offer!?! 10am until 2pm apparently.

New flavours this weekend

Just soaking some raisins in rum for our rum and raisin cupcakes! Never made them before so we'll have to see what they taste like but in all fairness what's not to love? rum? raisins? yes, yes, YES!

Also, gonna have a go at some Oreo cookies cakes, I'm thinking Vanilla with smashed Oreo's buttercream.

What else would you like to see? Email me at annie@teacupsandfairycakes.co.uk and let me know.

Posting flurry

It's just occured to me that I haven't put my logo on here yet, so here she is...

...Lovely, isn't it? I'm so happy with it! (the novelty still hasn't worn after after nearly 4 months)

The Hollins and Barnaby

The next Hollins Farmers Market is the 7th March, have a look here for details...

All readers of this blog who come to the market and say the magic word will receive 6 cakes for the price of 5! The magic word is Barnaby.

Speaking of which, has everyone seen how good this looks...

Rum, Lime and Coconut treats

Hello all,

Have been pretty busy recently, and I've been making lots of fab cakes! Unfortunately I forgot my camera on 2 recent occasions so you will have to make do with my descriptions...

Lindsays birthday called for some boozy delights - Lime and coconut cakes with a rum buttercream, topped with coconut. Yummy!

And then to Valentines day... Nicki asked me to create some chocolate cake hearts with a ganache icing and covered in glitter. I think they went down well with her husband Chris!

This weeks see's us making the first of 2 batches of country themed cupcakes for www.themill-online.org.uk. They are having open days this weekend and next to mark the opening of their language school at Waters Green in Macclesfield. Come down and say hi!

Also this weekend we are at Hale farmers market and also (hopefully) The Governors House in Cheadle Hulme. Come down and say hi!

I think thats all for now, must go and sort this website...

Farmers Market at the Hollins

Here are a couple of pics from the Farmers market I did at the Hollins on Sunday. It was marvellous! Met loads of really nice market folk and sold out completely!

The Daily Hate!

Hmmmmm, it would appear that apart from hating every single group of people in the world, the Daily Mail also hate Cupcakes!
