After going through close to a thousand kilos of flour and sugar in the past four years, it's time to pack up the mixer and say good bye to our little cupcake business. It's been such fun baking cakes, meeting so many lovely people and hearing wonderful feedback from our customers. But well, there's so many exciting things happening in our world that we had to cut something. And the weekly cake stall was it.
So what are we doing you may ask? Well, we are super excited to be working on a new book with Matthew, Ross and Nick, we're still doing cakes by request, we're catering for events using delicious, sustainable and local ingredients, we're writing about food, styling for food photo shoots, and well, there is one project that we are so over the moon about that I have to pinch myself to check that I'm awake and that it's real. But you'll have to wait to hear more about that.
As they say, you have to close one door before another one opens and well, this week that proverb certainly rings true. Hooray for cupcakes! Those dear little treats have been so much fun.
Congrats - I'm sure this was no easily reached decision. Best wishes for the book and the new ventures - will watch enviously!

Wow, I can't wait to hear what your next big adventure is!
ReplyDeleteBut a selfish little bit of me (and Rob for sure) will miss your stall, and your treats.
Only the other day we made a batch of the choc chip biscuits and Rob was disappointed as they "weren't as good as the girls'"!
Perhaps one day there will be that iphone app of C&C treats.
Good Luck in your new adventures

ReplyDeleteYour cupcakes will be missed but it is one less temptation for me since going sugar-free!
Looking forward to seeing what the new (ad)ventures are.
Wow. Congratulations and good luck with the next step forward. I must say I am a little sad. I always dreamed of a day I'd visit your way and try one of your fabulous cupcakes at a market. I'll have to come knocking on your door when we make it that far!! xx m.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with new venture!
ReplyDeleteWow - this is exciting - and sad - but WOWOWOW!! Can't wait to see what the next chapter unfolds. x
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations on all the wonderful things happening in your world! The book sounds AMAZING and I can hardly wait to hear what the other project is! If it's bigger than a book it must be HUGE! Sad I never got to try one of your cupcakes thought...
