🍂 WHO’S READY FOR AUTUMN?! 🍂

Summer flavours have officially EXITED THE CHAT. 👋☀️

I’m over it. Give me crisp mornings, darker evenings, rain against the windows and absolutely no guilt about staying wrapped up under a blanket. 😂

Candles lit. 🕯️
Hot drink in hand. ☕
Blanket firmly in place.
Rain outside.
Nowhere to go.

THAT’S the season I’m talking about. 🤎🍂

And with autumn comes some of my favourite flavours…

🍎 Apple
🍯 Toffee
🍮 Caramel
🤎 Cinnamon
🎃 Pumpkin Spice

Warm, cosy, gooey, indulgent… basically autumn in edible form. 😍

And this is only the beginning.

There are already some VERY cosy ideas brewing behind the scenes, and I cannot wait to start bringing them to life. 👀🍂

So…

ARE YOU READY FOR AUTUMN?
What's your autumn flavour?

🏠 THEY'RE COMING HOME WITH ME… 👀🍪

Well… Faringdon wasn't exactly kind to me today 😂😭

So I've come home with 11 COTA treats that now need rescuing!

And because I'm feeling generous, I'm doing:

✨ 2 FOR £5 ✨

What's left:

🍪 2 x Biscoff
🌿 4 x Mint Aero
🍫 3 x Triple Choc Chunk
🤎 2 x Fudge

📍 Collection from Queens Avenue, Highworth

💷 Cash or card accepted at collection

Unfortunately, I can't offer delivery at the moment — we're keeping this one strictly collection only!

The Mint Aero especially needs a new home because that chocolate is NOT enjoying the sun! 😂

First come, first served! Once they're gone, they're gone.

Drop me a DM to claim yours ❤️

2 for £5 — go on, rescue a cookie! 😉

🚨 Faringdon… ROUND TWO! 🚨

Last time I came to Faringdon Market, I sold 2 items.

Yep. TWO. 😂

And who bought them? The market manager. 🤣

I went home thinking well… that was that! — only for my DMs to absolutely EXPLODE afterwards with orders! I ended up baking MORE just to keep up with the demand. 😳🧁

So here I am again… 👀

And I’m bringing a VERY limited amount with me today:

🍪 Biscoff Cookies
🌿 Mint Aero Cookies
🍫 Triple Choc Chunk Cookies
🤎 Fudge

So if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to grab some COTA treats… THIS IS IT. 😉

I’d absolutely LOVE to make today a sell-out… so come on Faringdon, let’s see what you’ve got! 😂❤️

📍 Faringdon Market — TODAY
⚠️ VERY limited quantities — once they’re gone, they’re GONE!

🧁 ONE YEAR OF COTA AT HIGHWORTH MARKET! 🧁

This Sunday, 6th September, marks ONE WHOLE YEAR of Cupcakes on the Avenue at Highworth Market! 😭❤️

A whole bloody year.

And somehow, in that year, I’ve become the stall where I regularly hear:

🧁 “I’ve come just for the…”
🍪 “I bought this for myself but my wife ate it.”
😂 “I bought this for my husband last week, but he didn’t eat it… he no longer deserves one.”

And honestly? I LOVE IT. 😂

To the people who come to the market just for a COTA treat — you are bloody incredible. ❤️

We’ve had sell-out Saturdays, days where I’ve barely covered the pitch fee, freezing mornings, soaking wet mornings, and wind that ACTUALLY DESTROYED MY GAZEBO. 💨💀

There have been plenty of moments where I’ve stood there thinking “why the hell do I do this?” 😂

But then you lot turn up.

You come back every week.
You bring your friends.
You recommend me.
You tell me what you’re hoping I’ve got that week.
You buy something “for someone else” and then mysteriously eat it yourself. 👀

And that’s when I remember exactly why I do it. ❤️

Highworth Market has become such a huge part of Cupcakes on the Avenue, and I genuinely couldn’t be more grateful for all the support over the last year.

And we’ve got even more coming…

👀 Themed markets are on the way! 🎃✨

I’ve been working with HTC behind the scenes to bring some themed markets to Highworth, and I’m VERY excited about what we’ve got planned.

So this Sunday is officially ONE YEAR OF COTA AT HIGHWORTH MARKET.

One year of cake.
One year of cookies.
One year of brownies.
One year of you lot keeping me entertained. 😂
And one year of me repeatedly wondering whether my gazebo is going to survive the weather. 💀

Thank you, Highworth. ❤️

Here’s to year TWO. 🧁✨

Now… who’s coming to celebrate? 👀

🌧️ HIGHWORTH MARKET… WHAT. A. DAY. 🌧️

Well… I genuinely thought today was going to be a complete washout. 😂

Rain. All day. Market day. The odds were NOT in our favour. 🤣

BUT YOU LOT HAD OTHER IDEAS. 🥹💛

You absolutely proved me wrong and showed up anyway — and honestly, I cannot thank you enough! 🥰

And just to add to the drama… my feet were so soggy that my husband had to come to my rescue with a fresh pair of shoes AND socks. 😂😭

Nothing says professional market trader quite like standing behind your stall with wet feet before being rescued by your husband like some sort of damp Cinderella. 👠😂

But it was SO worth it.

Only a few little bits came home with me… and my family made very quick work of those. 😂

So thank you, Highworth. 💛
Thank you for braving the rain, supporting my little business, having a chat, buying your treats and proving that apparently rain does NOT equal a quiet market!

You lot are bloody brilliant. 🥹🧁

Now I’m off to get warm, dry and probably question why I thought waterproof shoes were optional. 😂☔️

🍂 P.S. The autumn flavours are coming… and I’m VERY excited. 🍂

29/08/2026

🌧️ GOOD MORNING, HIGHWORTH! 🌧️

Yep… it’s raining. 😂
And do you know what?

IT’S BEAUTIFUL. 😍🌧️

Honestly, I’ve been waiting MONTHS for proper rain and apparently the universe decided to deliver it specifically on market day. 🤣 Typical.

But I’m here, the bakes are here, and I am absolutely thriving in my natural habitat. 😂☔️

So if you’re already out braving the weather, come and see me! 💛

And if you’re sat at home thinking “absolutely bloody not”… I don’t blame you 😂

📩 Message me and I can put your treats aside for collection from home later — I’ll even bring them out to your car. Because I’m nothing if not committed to cake and questionable customer service levels. 🤣

🍪 Today’s lineup:
🍊 Jaffa Cake Cookie Pie
🤎 Brown Butter Brownies
🍫 Loaded Kinder Bueno Brownies
🤍 White Chocolate Cookies
🍯 Fudge & Caramel Cookies
🍪 Plain Caramel Cookies
🔥 S’more Cookies

Come embrace the rain with me… or let me protect your cake from it. 😂🌧️🧁

Highworth Market — we’re here! 💛

28/08/2026

🌧️ WELL… APPARENTLY THE WEATHER HAS BEEF WITH US. 🌧️

Months without a decent drop of rain… and suddenly tomorrow — Highworth Market day — is looking like a full-on biblical event. 😂

So, if the thought of venturing into Market Square in the rain for your cake fix is making you want to stay firmly tucked under a blanket… I GOT YOU. 👀

📩 Drop me a message BEFORE the market and I’ll put your treats aside for you.

You can then collect them from my house — and because apparently I’m committed to customer service and looking slightly unhinged… I’ll even bring them out to your car. 😂

No getting soaked. No soggy cake. No excuses. 🍪☔️

And before anyone asks… YES, I’m one of those weirdos who actually LOVES the rain. 😂 So I’ll be there, probably thriving while everyone else is questioning their life choices.

🍪 THIS WEEK’S BAKE LINE-UP:

🍊 Jaffa Cake Cookie Pie
🤎 Brown Butter Brownies
🍫 Loaded Kinder Bueno Brownies
🤍 White Chocolate Cookies
🍯 Fudge & Caramel Cookies
🍪 Plain Caramel Cookies
🔥 S’more Cookies

And one final warning…

🍂 THE AUTUMN FLAVOURS ARE COMING. VERY SOON. 🍂

I’m talking cosy, indulgent, autumnal goodness… because apparently I’m already mentally living in October. 😂

📍 Highworth Market — TOMORROW
🌧️ Rain or shine, the brownies will survive. Will you? 😂

Come say hello… or message me and let me be your personal rainy-day cake delivery service to the car. 🤣
