Fabulous Places Xmas Market

WOW what an event, this weekend I had a stall at the Christmas Market, organised by Fabulous Places. It was SO busy, I have no idea how many people visited. I sold all but 6 of my cupcakes and took a number of orders for Christmas, and a birthday gift box, as well as two new baby gift boxes. I met so many lovely new people, both stall holders and new customers alike. The new flavour; "twinkle twinkle" vanilla topped with a white chocolate & cream cheese with white chocolate star sprinkles was a huge hit, selling out fast, and my new all time favourite cupcake "cherry on top" based on a cherry bakewell, with ground almonds, no fat, filled with a dollop of cherry jam and some grated marzipan inside, was very popular indeed. I also picked up - care of a wonderful shop BOW in Cromford, just next to Scarthin Books - a totally gorgeous vintage tea set, in pale pink & gold, I can't wait to hold my first "grown up" tea party with it!!! Well better go really, I'm totally exhausted having been busy baking and selling since last Tuesday, and it's another early start tomorrow, with a busy baking schedule for Kniveton School Fair Xmas Sale - pop by if you can x

Fabulous!

Hello again everyone,

I spent Sunday at the wonderful Blackbrook House thanks to an invitation from Deb & the Fabulous Places website.

What a fabulous day, I sold out of over 170 cupcakes by 3 o'clock in the afternoon! "Dive into deep chocolate" was the best seller, must have been the chocolate aero placed on top, or the mini-marshmallows throughout the chocolate buttercream - actually my mouth is watering just thinking about them!

It was so wonderful to see familiar faces who said they visited the fete especially to stop by the Cupcake Corner stall and buy a little treat, thank you Christine...and also to be visited by people I know from Ashbourne who stopped by to support me, thanks Julie!

Couldn't have done it without the wonderful Jo, who promoted the benefits of free range eggs, Green & Blacks cocoa, fairtrade sugar better than I did!!! Thank You Jo



Most of all, thank you to Deb for organising such a fab event, I had a great time, some lovely food myself and picked up some lovely pressies for my nearest & dearest. If you get a chance, be sure to visit the website, you'll get to know the best of the best around Derbyshire.






Busy preparing for a VIP 40th birthday order and a very special hen party order, so I'd better get on with it

Until the next time, Charlotte aka Mrs Cupcake X
