I hope you all had a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend!
The sun was shining here in Mousehole!

I took some time out to spend with familyโ€ฆand of course, a little bit of home baking was involved too !

Thereโ€™s something so special about a classic Victoria spongeโ€ฆ

Although, I decided to give this one a little twist on the flavours!
โœจ Lemon buttercream
โœจ Raspberry jam
The perfect balance of sweet and sharp !

Itโ€™s simple bakes like this, that bring back the sweet memories of my Mum !

Now Iโ€™d love to knowโ€ฆ
Whatโ€™s the one cake that takes you straight back to your childhood? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ˜‹ Chocolate and marzipan were the chosen flavours!
๐Ÿง So each topper was thoughtfully designed and handcrafted using marzipan - every detail completely edible!

โญ๏ธ Not my usual forte of design, but super proud with how these turned out!

๐Ÿคฉ These personalised cupcakes arenโ€™t something youโ€™ll find on a supermarket shelf - and thatโ€™s the beauty of choosing a bespoke cake maker here in Cornwall!

I was absolutely in my element creating these baby shower cupcakes for a mummy-to-be ๐Ÿค
And so grateful to be part of such special celebration!

With babyโ€™s gender being kept a surprise until the big day, I was asked to create teddy-bear themed cupcakes. I chose soft, neutral tones to keep the design timeless and elegant.

Every topper โ€“ from teddy bears to rainbows and โ€œbaby on the wayโ€ details โ€“ was carefully handmade with love.

Iโ€™m a huge believer in supporting local businesses wherever possible, and using the very best ingredients in my baking.

For the filling in my cupcakes, I use these beautiful handmade jams and lemon curd, made right here in Cornwall by Abi's Vegetables, Jams & Chutneys

Not only do they taste incredible, but supporting fellow small businesses, is something that means a lot to me.
When you choose The Baking Maid, youโ€™re supporting more than one small local business ๐Ÿค

Every cupcake is filled, baked and decorated by hand in my kitchen, which is what makes them so special.

Thank you so so much to those that have ordered this yearโ€™s Motherโ€™s Day cupcakes. Your โ€œsomeone specialโ€ is certainly in for a lovely treat!
