Little Jonny's christening cupcakes

A small family gathering deserved some special cupcakes for a little boy called Jonny. Grandad brought his three little grand-daughters to collect these, and their name all began with "J" too, so they had little pink "J"s on their own cupcakes. Lovely!

Nutty Macaroon Cookies

Well, I picked up a very excited little girl from pre-school yesterday, after a busy week off on half-term, she was thrilled to be back with her friends & teachers. So happy, that instead of the usual post-school lull, we had such a lovely mood, that we decided to bake together.

Nutty Macaroon Cookies, these were very easy to make, even with a 4 yr old, who was remarkably helpful for a change, having got to the stage where she can attempt to read parts of the recipe! I might try some of these at the forthcoming coeliac fair, although I'm not sure how in advance I could make them, as I can't do everything last minute.

Look pretty don't they?

Apologies for the lack of blogspots, what a crazy start to 2010. Trapped at home for about 9 days due to the snow, but actually loved the excuse to stop in and spoil Rosie with lots extra attention!

Another good thing about being stuck at home, was that I had a chance to get my teeth into perfecting a gluten free brownie recipe. I tried about 12 different variations, and then opted for my preferred version which I have tweaked to perfection. They have a crispy top, and are so moist and chewy, the perfect brownie consistency. As usual, they are made using my neighbouring farm's fresh free range eggs, as well as fairtrade sugar & cocoa.

My hubbie has declared that it's the best cake on Cupcake Corner's menu, no less! And I have to say, that it is the best brownie I've eaten, even in my gluten eating days. So, if you'd like to taste them for yourself, they are available at £1.90 each, with a minimum order of 6.

Now busy preparing for Valentines Day orders, helping a lovely wine bar & cafe put on the first local "Cupcake Afternoon Tea", and lots more plans ahead.

I hope your year has started positively, I'd love to hear from you if you like the look of the Brownie?

Merry Christmas

Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas everyone, eat, drink & be merry, I'm sure all your hard work will mean a very enjoyable Christmas Day all round, well done! X

"Read All About Me!!!!"

I spent a lovely morning with Amber Locke the food writer for Derbyshire Life and we took lots of photos and I told her all about how Cupcake Corner started out...well, what a surprise when my hubbie brought home a copy of January's Derbyshire Life. I was quietly hoping for a tiny mention, but instead there are 3 pages, yes 3 pages, dedicated to Cupcake Corner, lots of photos and very flattering wording. That should introduce my little business to lots of people outside of my direct area, so here's to a busy 2010!!! Thanks So Much Amber...

Let me know if you get to read a copy!
love Charlotte x
