A fantastic gift....







I arrived at work last Tuesday after a wonderful "snow day" and found an email from Lola's in my in box - they were dismayed to read that I'd had a bad experience with their cupcake from Selfridges and wanted to send me a free box to show how great their cupcakes can be. Although never one to turn down a cupcake I replied and said it wasn't necessary to send me freebies as I was already aware they could be nice from Selfridges, however I'd just obviously got a bad one!

However on Wednesday my reception at work called me to tell me there was a "beautiful package" down there for me and lo and behold a huge be-ribboned box of gorgeous looking cupcakes were waiting for me! All 12 of them looked STUNNING and I shared some of them with some friends in the office and took some home and I have to say they were some of the tastiest cupcakes I've had - the base of all of them was moist (including the ones we saved for the next day), the flavours were really nice and the frosting was FANTASTIC!

Flavours we tried included carrot, chocolate, black and white, peanut butter and coconut. The pink ball covered one was one of the cutest cupcakes I've seen and Manny devoured all but one of the truffle-like balls himself...my chubby hubby indeed!

Thanks to Lola's for such a lovely gift - it was trully scrumptious! Oh and those I shared with in the office were definitely converted to cupcakes!

Sunday's cupcake haul




Today's walk was a stomp back from sunny Lewisham where I managed to buy some rather fabby cupcake wrapping paper and a cupcake card from the Cancer Research Shop (http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/). I went to get a Fukoro shopping bag but I wasn't keen on them once I saw them - http://supportus.cancerresearchuk.org/uploads/images/fukurobag.jpg.


However I did spot they do a nice range of cards and gift wrap with cupcakes on so bought some - both were 99p each. I was happy I managed to find something cupcake AND help charity a bit at the same time :)
