Client Gifting Campaign for Women's Month! 🧁🧡💙

Thrilled to be asked to be part of this client gifting campaign for Primedia Broadcasting and CapeTalk, with a total of 180 hand-piped floral cupcakes(thankfully, not all on the same day!) in bespoke boxes of 3, in matching corporate colours.

An additional thrill of being at the Primedia studios, was to meet the Kfm 94.5 breakfast team in studio. Huge fan and they have kept me smiling for many years on the school runs!

PROTEA CUPCAKES - 3 BOUQUET OPTIONS

For those that have been following me for a while, you will know that I have developed several varieties of buttercream Protea over the last 5yrs, which started in September 2020 with the first prototype King Protea - what started with one, has now become 5, all of which I used in my Signature "Protea & Fynbos" cupcake bouquet, available in 3 sizes (as seen in the following pics).

These designs are a very popular choice, given the South African connection to the Protea, though are also the most time consuming to do, so I would encourage you to book well in advance if this is your choice for a special occasion/birthday.

You can find the link to these and all other cupcake bouquet options, here: https://crumbscustomcupcakes.com/cupcake-bouquets/ - July is now fully booked and my next available date is 4 August.

Have a great week ahead!

Another week, another Protea & Fynbos 19-cupcake bouquet! This one has even more detail...I have incorporated a mini Arctic King Protea, mixed with Aloe - can you spot it? Inspired by my real Protea in my kitchen. This one was created to celebrate an 87th birthday today, for a lady that LOVES Protea!

Gift boxes are available in a boxes of 6 or 12 or, if you prefer bite-sized portions, a box of 24 mini cupcakes may be just the ticket!

40 IN BLOOM! 🎉🌸🧁🌺

Cupcake number boxes are a stunning alternative to a cupcake bouquet, especially for a milestone birthday, when you want the 'wow' factor! This one is paired with a box of co-ordinating mini cupcakes. A set of double numbers holds between 18-20 cupcakes (obviously depending on the numbers used).

Due to the bespoke nature of the number boxes, they are not on the website, but enquiries can be made directly to me at [email protected] for a quote.
