Time to take up running

Well that's unlikely to happen, although after losing some weight I can now run without giving myself black eyes and passing out, but the thought of this lovely track jacket might encourage me to be sporty - I could run to the cupcake store :)

I'm trying to hold off buying it till we've been away on holiday to MAGIC CIRCLE FEST but I'm not sure I can hold out much longer as its just so cute and its only $32 which is nothing for something so cute! I'm really worried I'll come back and it'll be sold out as Shana Logic have a habit of selling out v.quickly!!

Oh it's a dilemma!!!

Thanks to my lovely chum Kirsty for forwarding me the latest Shana Logic update as for some reason I didn't get it!!

Update - first posted this 10mins ago but have now bought the jacket....bad Anne!

Drooling with anticipation

Actually ignore the post below- I'm not going to Hummingbird tomorrow as I'd already planned to go to Richmond Farmers Market to pick up some Outsider Tart cupcakes as its their cupcake weekend (as is the first weekend of every month!!). I've just read their flavours for this week and I'm already hungry...yummy

Cupcake-less 4th of July

So I went to Selfridges this am, ready to get my lovely 4th of July cupcakes (below) and alas they didn't have any. The man serving at Lola's didn't have any idea about them, although he didn't seem to have much of a clue at all, it took him 10 minutes to stop his conversation and come to serve me, while another woman just stood there blatantly ignoring...nice staff they hve there!

I think tomorrow I shall go to Hummingbird and see what they have - I have to say I heart Lolas but the staff at Selfridges are just rather unpleasant to deal with and if you promise special cupcakes maybe you should have them :(

However we can trust good ole Martha Stewart to be patriotic today and clicking here will find you her American Flag cupcakes!

Today we celebrate our Independence Day

Celebrate the 4th July with a delicious box of LOLA's red velvet, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. Each gift box will contain cupcakes iced in red, white & blue and decorated in an assortment of sprinkles & images with an American theme.

Lola's will be sampling red velvet cupcakes at Selfridges on Friday 4th July for the "United Tastes of America" - I shall be there at about 10am! I hope they're doing single red velvet ones - they're my favourite, although I'll get a box if I really have to ;)

Happy 4th July my American chums - wish I was in NY to celebrate!!!!

Cupcakes can make a difference...

LOLA's has South African roots, so it was only natural that we decided to celebrate the 90th birthday of this great man.

Our Mandela's 90th gift box contains images of Nelson Mandela, the AIDS symbol, and cupcakes decorated in the South African flag colours. Each box is tied with a ribbon and finished with your personal gift note.

Orders can be collected or hand delivered to the recipient.

30% of proceeds go to the 46664 campaign which raises awareness about the impact of AIDS, especially in Africa, and promotes HIV prevention measures throughout the world.

Its cupcakes o' clock!

How fantastic is that expression!!?

Lola's Kitchen have launched their Wimbledon cupcake box to welcome summer and the Wimbledon season! What better way to celebrate the game of tennis than stuffing yourself with a box of LOLA's strawberry cupcakes...yummy!

Their strawberry box contains cupcakes smothered in strawberry icing and topped with a whole fresh strawberry on top. The tennis box sounds rather funky as each cupcake is iced like a tennis ball but I can't find any pics!

New balls please :)

Cut your cake..

and eat it!

I think it might be a bit fancy to cut your cupcakes in half but I'm sure not everyone scoffs them in the same fashion I do. Manny for example likes to use a teaspoon to eat his, although this is because if not he ends up with frosting on his nose! However if you do fancy cutting your cupcake in half and being dainty, or any other cake for that matter, this fancy knife from Rockett St George is just the tool for the job as supposedly the cut out letters lead to a cleaner cut cake..so no wasted crumbs! :)
