Becca Bakes goes international, again

Oooh, another international order to be delivered locally - lucky us!  This time it was for the wedding anniversary of a man who liked fruity cupcakes.  We agreed on raspberries and cream (it was short notice and I had some raspberries in the house), and I got to work.  I had once not floured my fruit before adding it, and it had sunk to the bottom when baked, and once floured it and it hadn't sunk.  But this time I was only adding one or two raspberries so I thought it'd be ok... 

 I mean, they look as though they'd bake up just like that, don't they?

And once baked, they still looked as though the raspberry had stayed in the middle at the top of each cupcake.

So I decorated them in a 'manly' fashion, whilst still incorporating the wife's requests.  Despite being their actually anniversary date, 7-11 is a secret code in this relationship.

There were a couple spare (which pleased Mini-1 and 2 no end!) and sadly the raspberries had sunk to the bottom.  But hey ho, they tasted great - tart sponge from the raspberries and sweet smooth creamy vanilla on top, yummy.  Oh, and Happy Anniversary guys!

BB goes international

We were contacted last year by a lady who grew up in Dundee but now lives abroad, in Jersey (I think).  She found us online and chose us because we were small and seemed friendly (which reminds me, I need to update the website with some current photos).  She wanted some cupcakes made and delivered to her mother here in Dundee, and we were happy to help.

I have to assume that the whole family were pleased, because the lady got in touch again this week.  After emailing back and forth, we went for a mixed dozen of chocolate toffee and raspberry ripple.  And the feedback was that her mum thought they were too lovely to eat.  Almost.
