Instead of flowers...

I've been pretty bad at keeping the blog updated....my bad! Sorry! I will definitely try and do a better job of it now on. It's just that at The Little Cakery we've  been busy with so many things.

Firstly,  The website is nearly nearly very nearly done. Our designer, Tina Ghela, has been doing a fab job of trying out different looks and themes, and with Christmas up the road we're nearly set to launch with our christmas look website. Watch this space and we'll keep you updated.

We've also been totally overwhelmed with orders for cupcake gift boxes. Flowers just don't taste as good, and it seems that cupcakes can even make a great gift for men (and we all know how difficult it is to buy presents for men!). So, here are a few snaps of the giftboxes we've put together over the past month or so. 

This first one was very last minute. Where possible we'd appreciate 3 days notice on celebration cakes and giftboxes.  On occasion we get 24 hours notice and we try our best to accommodate those requests. But this one was seriously a last minute gift. A lovely lady working at Morgan Stanley called at 11am looking for a gift box to share by 2pm. I couldn't help but want to help her! So got to baking, and voila!! We even delivered it to her, by 1.45pm all was well again in the world of cupcakes. Remember, delivery in Canary Wharf is free, and we also deliver across Greater London.

This next one was a gift for a birthday boy over at Barclays Capital.  What a perfect gift for bloke! I couldn't help but add a flower, though in my defense it is a blue flower! I heard these went down a storm.

And here's another pic of yet another gift box for a birthday boy over at Hays Macintyre. Our gift cupcakes are packaged in sturdy cupcake inserts, lined with soft tissue paper and then the luxurious patisserie gift box is finished of with organza or satin ribbon. 

Anyhoo, that's enough for now.... will most more about Christmas Cupcake Gift Boxes soon...
