The Anatomy of a Corporate Cupcake Order

Hello Cupcake Lovers!

Every now and then we get a smaller corporate order, and this order for 250 cupcakes was one of the installments for PRP, and so I had a chance to snap a few pics as we went along!

PRP architects were celebrating their 50th birthday, and so they asked us to provide personalised cupcakes for their festivities. They had a special logo designed for this landmark occasion. 

What you can see below are a series of pictures that show you how our corporate orders take shape. All that is left to do is box them up and call the courier!






Happy Cupcaking Darlings!

Crumbs Couture & Cancer Research UK

Hello Crumbs Fans,

Today I am proud to announce that Crumbs Couture is working with Cancer Research UK in a number of ways to help them beat cancer through their fundraising efforts.


Look around you. Can you see two people? Did you know that the odds state that one of the three of you will develop some form of cancer? That's right, more than 1 in 3 people in the UK will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime, in fact, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer every 2 minutes. 


The work that they have been doing since 1902, and continue to do, is all funded through donations as they do not receive any government funding. I am honoured to be helping such a worthy cause and promise to keep you updated on the donations that we make for their events. You can learn more about the charity here:           http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-us/who-we-are/our-story/

Corporate Cupcakes for Jo Malone

Good evening, Cake Lovers!

A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from the lovely Sophie in Events at Jo Malone HQ. She told me about the upcoming launch parties they were having for their Limited Edition Sugar and Spice range. She described them as "A collection of five fragrances created for moments of delicious pleasure. Inspired by delectable ingredients. Decadently tempting."

We were asked to produce some cupcakes for their launch party that were inspired by their fragrances. The fragrances are Elderflower & Gooseberry, Lemon Tart, Redcurrant & Cream, Bitter Orange & Chocolate, Ginger Biscuit. 

We had huge fun producing the cupcakes which were inspired by the delicious special edition fragrances, and had great feedback from our client.

Corporate Cupcakes for Disney HQ London

Hello Cake-Lovers!

A few weeks ago we got an exciting e-mail from Jordan who works for The Walt Disney Company Ltd. He asked us to prepare some Disney-themed cupcakes, with half of them featuring signature Mickey Mouse ears, and with the other half topped with Minnie Ears & a bow.

We used Giant Chocolate Buttons for the Ears and created the bows using red fondant and white royal icing dots. Pop these on top of our signature buttercream swirls et voila.....


We had fantastic feedback from the client and we look forward to creating many more Disney cupcakes in the future!
