Some recent cupcake purchases

First a couple of new purchases from Robert Dyas -another worktop saver (I have about 7 now) and a magnetic memo board which I plan to use for my magnetic spice racks. Both are showing as sold out on the Robert Dyas website, however I've been in the Fleet Street one recently and they have loads. There are also some tins, trays and picnic wear to match.





The purse is from a little store we visited in Chichester when we went to the Swallow Bakery and the matching little notebook is from Peter Jones. The little wedding favour chocolate is also from Peter Jones (how cute would these be at your wedding!)

Tesco's currently have a cupcake range in store and I picked up another worktop saver(I know!) a placemat (for the cats!) and a little cupcake bowl. They have cake tins, biscuit tins and plates to match. They also have pink silicone bakeware - I got a balloon whisk and a pastry brush.

Finally a mousemat from the Paperchase cupcakes range.

And yes my house is getting full.

Cupcake-a-licious

Cancer-stricken reality TV star Jade Goody’s wedding cake was baked for free by a Ewell businesswoman.

Laura Conway, 28, worked into the small hours of Sunday morning to create seven tiers of 170 cup cakes sprinkled with glitter and topped with iced butterflies, hearts and flowers.

The owner of Cupcake-A-Licious was called on Wednesday night by publicist Max Clifford to make the Vanilla Sweetheart and Pretty in Pink cupcakes in time for Goody’s wedding to Jack Tweed on Sunday.

Miss Conway began baking on Friday evening and had only a few hours sleep before she resumed work on Saturday morning and didn’t rest until it was completed on Sunday morning.

She said she ordered dozens of boxes of icing sugar, caster sugar, flour and eggs to make each vanilla sponge cup cake, which normally cost £2 each and was made with her secret recipe.
