There was a brilliant buzz around the market today, not entirely from customers though, hence I was not sold out this week! It's not too hard to get rid of leftover Chocolate Cupcakes though.. :) I had great fun with my guest stall-helper Stewart, and had the pleasure of Collette & her family dropping by to sample everything on my stall! :)
This week was a load of firsts, with my first "employee", my first time selling Banana Bread and my first attempts at piping icing... :) It all went really well, I was surprised at how popular the banana & walnut loaf cake turned out to be, and even more surprised at how pretty my amateurish attempts at icing looked! I'll definitely be using that method in future, I think I'll just be experimenting with my toppings. I might even start playing around with fondant and sugar craft if I find the time!
Siobhan, as part of the new site I'm asking some local bloggers to write a one-off article. Would you be interested in writing something about cupcakes, or the market? Drop me an email if you are j.ferris@belfastmediagroup.com
ReplyDeleteMmmmm banana bread!
ReplyDeletemmm.. I know... I'm a big fan too... I didn't think that so many people shared that love though! :) I was going to make banana cupcakes but I didn't want more hassle of piping more buttercream on Saturday morning! :D
ReplyDeleteGood luck! You're very enterprising and the cakes look great. I'm still looking for a fairy cakes by post online company that delivers to Galway...
