The Happy Cupcake Kitchen 's cakes are designed especially for our clients and their special events. We have baked cakes for weddings, engagements, Hens, birthdays, christenings and much more!! Its great that people let us share in some of the biggest celebrations and occasions in their lives!!!
When I was small, my Mum knew a local baker who was more like an artist. It was a real treat to look through her portfolio of cakes on my kitchen table and choose a cake for my birthday. I didnt have presents because those cakes cost quite a bit even back then! But they made my birthday special - far more special than the lastest craze! Now at 30 I can chart each birthday with the cake that I had. Cutting Hansel and Grettels House, Sad Sam and The Old Lady That Lived in a Shoe was difficult because they were so beautiful!! But eating one of the sugar dwarfs, or popping Snow Whites fondant head off was great fun!
I loved my Birthday cakes from Mrs Samuel. The light yellow sponge, cream and jam so cleverly stacked and carved, perfect with a milky cup of tea, or wrapped in napkins to give my school friends. I must admit, my parents did spoil me with the latest computers, clothes and TV's for Christmas, but the best gift of the year was my Handmade Birthday Cake! This cakes was hand crafted especially for me! It was this feeling of love that inspired me to set up The Happy Cupcake Kitchen
My Mum never baked herself, but we never had shop bought cake, only homemade by my Grandmother or the birthday cake from Mrs Samuel, so to buy a cake from a supermarket was strange to me, they taste so crumby and fake! When you look at the ingredients list you will be shocked by the crazy lists of artificial ingredients and preservatives! Yuck!!!
I always loved baking with my Grandmother, and am lucky enought to still have her to ask a baking question or answer a cake dilema. I would never buy a shop made cake, so synthetic and dry! Its the difference betweeen having a Maccy D burger instead or a sirloin steak! They are incomparible! So please dont cut corners and buy a cheap cake for your celebration, instead go get one made! The Happy Cupcake Kitchen uses only the best ingredients and crafts your cake from creaming the butter and sugar to incorparate lots of air, to handfinishing with the best quality, butter, marzipan and fondant. Cakes are bespoke to our customers requirements to make your celebration cake as memorable as mine were as a child.
