Giant Cupcakes and Little Cuppies

Last night was filled with baking... two Giant Cupcakes and a batch of little cuppies just for fun! The silicone giant cupcake mould I use is just fab and I'm definitely going to invest in a second one as it means I can have a second giant cupcake ready to go in the oven when the first comes out (they take up quite a bit of room in the oven).
First we had a golf themed giant cupcake complete with green, rough, two golf balls and a hole with flag (number 19 - the clubhouse, ha!).
Next we had a malteaser melt giant cupcake... chocolate sponge with buttercream and melted milk chocolate topped off with a family size bag of malteasers... delish!
We made a nice little batch of cuppies with the left over batter mix and decorated them with leftover green buttercream and some milky eggs - they'll be lovely with a cup of tea over the weekend...

Strawberry Champagne and White Chocolate Giant Cupcake/Cupcakes

Oh my goodness, it's been so long since I've made a post! A lot of things have changed in the kitchen since then... I've discovered GIANT CUPCAKES and all manner of fancy toppings to boot! Here's one I made earlier...

Some white chocolate dipped strawberries... this was the first time I've managed to melt the white chocolate to that 'just right' consistency

Normal sized cupcakes with white chocolate frosting topped with a chocolate dipped strawberry

From the top...

The Big One! Filled with strawberry champagne and buttercream, coated in white chocolate frosting and topped with three chocolate sipped strawberries and a paper daisy

Ta da! I'm very proud of this one :)

Our very first exhibtion stand!

We had our first ever exhibition stand in the Hilton Hotel, Templepatrick yesterday at the Northern Ireland Travel News Golf Day and Big Event. There was a fab turnout and we hope everyone enjoyed the Cupcakes in Jars! Here's some photos of the wee stand :)

Drum roll please!

Tada! Here they are, the first batch of Sweet Like You Cupcakes in Jars. These jars of yumminess are heading to the Northern Ireland Travel News Golf and Trade event tomorrow, which is oh so exciting!

We're currently taking orders for Fathers Day for the Cupcakes in Jars and also for our Confectionary Cakes - and sponge, frosting, and topping of your choice.

Personally my dad's already requested a chocolate nut one :) although I think he might quite fancy a Mint Chocolate Aero one as I had a hard time keeping him from pinching one of the filled jars last night, lol!

Ready to Go!

All the bits and bobs for our first sample batch have arrived and will be finished tonight!

We'll be using the three basic sponge flavours - chocolate, red velvet and vanilla

We'll be baking the following combos:

Chocolate Sponge with Mint Aero Frosting and Topping
Red Velvet Sponge with Cream Cheese Frosting and Malteaser Topping
Vanilla Sponge with Strawberry Cream Frosting and White Chocolate Frosting

Check back tomorrow for some scrummy photos!

We have just made our first booking to appear at the Frock Around the Clock vintage fair on August 7 in the Holiday Inn, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast - 11am to 4.30pm. there will be plenty of samples from our basic flavour range and it's also a great opportunity to discuss your own flavour options - remember we make them to order! Hope to see you all there :)

Cakey fun!

Although Sweet Like You is primarily edible favours in a jar, I have been known to bake a cake from time to time so, while we are waiting on our first shipment of jars to arrive I've uploaded some photos of cakes I've made - some are very old first attempts from 2010 (so don't laugh too much)! Hope you enjoy looking... and laughing at some of my first attempts from 2010 :)
