Here are some of the cakes from the stall this week - the bottom one was definitely the most popular: a vanilla cupcake, filled with caramel sauce, topped with fluffy buttercream and covered with marshmallows, sugar crystals, crushed digestives AND melted dark chocolate. It was bloomin delicious :))

Graduation day cupcakes for a large business school in Cambridge. It was great fun making the graduation caps and scrolls. I hand tied the scrolls with strawberry sweet shoelaces which took ages but the effect was worth it :)) Apparently another department in the same school liked the cupcakes so much that they want to order 500 for next year! I'd better start baking now eek..

Cakes from the stall this week - it was back to cake eating weather this week after the heat, hooray! The two cupcakes in the picture are Oreo (the ones with the chocolate sweet on top) and raspberry. I really like the look of these ones and they were definitely the most popular. I also had some lovely boxes this week (thank you mum!) which fit 6 cupcakes and have a polka dot design so I'm going to make sure I have some of those with me every week. I didn't have enough bags though which I usually use for one or two cupcakes so this week people took the cakes away in a combination of bags kindly given to me by Ark and Pret a Manger, and some little cellophane bags instead of my usual paper ones. I put the cakes in them and tie the tops with a ribbon which looks very pretty..
We had lemon meringue, mocha and chocolate cupcakes too but the photos didn't come out too well as I was using my phone so you'll have to trust me that they looked good and tasted even better :))
