Cakes-a-go-go!

It’s full steam ahead at The Cakehouse at the moment.

We’re getting much closer to finding a property, orders are coming in thick and fast on our website (we are about to cater the cakes at another wedding) and now we’re about to sell cakes at a deli.

Last week our cakewagon took to the roads of Cardiff to mark National Cupcake Week. We made several house calls and sold at organisations around the city. In fact we were so successful that this week Deli-a-go-go in Whitchurch has asked us back.

So between 9am and 12 on Saturday we’ll have a stall at their shop selling delicious cupcakes with free tasters and special offers on our 6 box of cupcakes.

So if you are in the area (or even if you’re not) you really should go-go there!

A Week of Firsts

Last week was National Cupcake Week, and what a week it was for The Cakehouse!

Our first official review was published on the internet. Food Critic Your last Mouthful said “Hearing about the girl’s plans was so inspiring and their enthusiasm for their business was seriously contagious! They are clearly very passionate about baking and what they do”. And as well as being excited by The Cakehouse concept she loved all our cupcakes too, her favorite was the raspberry ripple “Topped with a piece of coconut ice, this cake was fresh, tangy and sweet with fresh raspberries running through the sponge keeping it beautifully moist. The sweet icing complimented the tangy cake. Yum!”

Praise indeed!

We also took our cakewagon on the road for the first time. We made some home deliveries, as well as selling delicious cupcakes at Cardiff University, Heath Hospital, Blue Hair Design and Deli-a-go-go. Our cakes were so successful that one customer tweeted “Didn't know The Cakehouse until this eve, but I 100% support them” and the deli liked us so much they have asked us to go back next Saturday morning to sell cupcakes on a stall! (So if you’re in Whitchurch between 9am and 12 pop down to see us.)

Our day ended at Ty Hafan Children’s Hospice. We had promised to make a donation from all our sales last week to the charity Free Cakes For Kids Wales who asked us to take the cakes to Ty Hafan. The smiles on people’s faces when we arrived was fantastic to see, and we will continue to support them.

So National Cupcake Week may have been full of firsts for us but they definitely won’t be lasts!

Jumping On the Cake Wagon

We’re getting ready for our favourite time of the year at The Cakehouse – National Cupcake Week. It starts on the 12^th September, and runs until 18^th, so to mark the occasion we’ll be getting on the cupcake bandwagon (or should that be cakewagon?) and going mobile.

Our cupcake van will be out and about in Cardiff on Saturday 17^th September selling all our regular flavours. The exact details of where we will be are still to be confirmed, but we will be keeping people posted on Facebook, Twitter and our website.

It’s the first time we’ve gone mobile, so it will be a journey of discovery. And who knows, if the road to London is paved with gold, perhaps the roads in Cardiff will soon be paved with cupcakes!
