Holidays are coming

If you're lucky enough to live in the Cirencester area you can pick up some gorgeous Christmas cupcakes from Cirencester Cupcakes.

I've admired CC's work for some time, as previous posts confirm, and I was hoping to visit before Christmas as they have a Christmas Market in town as well so I could've had some cupcakes and mulled wine.  I'm hoping that we can make it over early next year instead.

The Christmas selection sounds, and looks, delicious, coming in a range of different flavours including the very festive peppermint and mince pie topped with brandy buttercream. How good does a mince pie and brandy buttercream cupcake sound? I want one!

And lets not forget the most festive of flavours, chocolate orange. Terry can sod right off - it's mine!

You can find out ordering/buying info on the Cirencester Cupcakes website and please do let me know if you try some! 

Heavy metal cupcakes \m/

This in reality should be my 666 post but alas its my 791 (seriously that many posts about cupcakes...wow!)

The reason it should be 666 is because these cupcakes ROCK and we all know the devil has the best tunes right?! These cupcakes are from the incredibly talented Louise owner and baker in chief at Cirencester Cupcakes. The band logos are made using an edible printer - I'm jealous and want one but they're a little expensive to buy just so I can make Manowar cupcakes!

I shall definitely be pre-ordering some Manowar logo/photo ones when I eventually get to visit Cirencester Cupcakes store, hopefully later this year. I've been meaning to visit since they opened but it's a bit of a journey, but worth it for some rocking cupcakes!

It's time to meet the muppets...

I've been meaning to post these since I first saw them on Cirencester Cupcake's Twitter - aren't they beautiful! You can read all about them, and see more photos, here.

Louise is definitely one of the most talented cake decorators I've seen and the good news is she's opening a shop in Cirencester so all of you lucky enough to live nearby can visit soon - I wish I lived nearer! I have had a peek at train info to get there and it doesn't seem that difficult so I may be popping over for a visit in the Summer to get my hands on some cupcakes.

You can keep up to date with the shop's progress, and read about/order cupcakes on her website and blog.

Also today on Twitter Louise posted some gorgeous photos of her mother's day cupcakes - I think I may send some to my mum as they're really pretty. You can see them on flickr. Once ordering info etc is online I shall post it on here.

Thanks to Louise for use of her lovely photographs.
