Fender Guitars, Cakepops and Markets.....

A Fender Esquire 

Last week it was Peter's birthday and with him being as mad about guitars as I am about horses I thought it only fitting that I had a go at making his pride and joy into a cake.  It is only the second 'novelty' cake I have ever made and by far the most complicated and fiddly but it was worth every minute of it to see his face on Wednesday morning!!!  Onto facebook it went and off round the globe to all the guitar 'gods' and it got 239 likes before the end of the day!!!  Needless to say we are still eating it!  Good job it tastes as good as it looks!!!!

So what to do with the left over cake after the guitar was made......I thought I would have a go at some cake pops.....also a first for me.  I'm not sure I would want to make a lot of them but the kids loved them at Dolphinholme Market on Saturday so maybe I'll bear that in mind.

Dolphinholme Market was a success with a lot of stalls from bric a brac to cupcakes to sketches and also a pig stall with quails eggs and honey but no pork......yep I do have to say I thought that was odd!!!  The pork will be available in Feburary so orders were being taken.  It was a shame though as I thought we could have sausage sandwiches on Sunday.... :(  Roll on the next one :)

Birthdays, BBQ's and Open Days........

So last week was a busy cake week for me and I baked 200 cakes to take to Ribby Hall Equestrian Centre Open Day on Sunday (see above), the weather was good to us and loads of people turned up to watch the demonstrations provided by the staff and others from Ribby Hall EC.  The cakes went down a treat and we only had one cake left by the end of the day!  I did a raffle for a giant cupcake and this was won by a very excited lady!!!

 

The above are just a few of the many cakes we took with us.

This week I have been busy baking for my friends for their trips away, birthdays and BBQ's.

 

I have been busy setting up my new website www.jeniscupcakes.co.uk.  Please take a look and let me know what you think.  I'm open to any suggestions.
