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!
