Let them eat cake...and enter my competition


Get your apron on for National Cupcake Week. Created by British Baker Magazine, the week celebrates cupcakes of every shape and decoration and hopes to get you not just eating cupcakes but baking them too!

Last year David Bennett of Sunshine Bakery in Leeds was crowned Cupcake Champion of Great Britain 2010. The winning recipe was a banana and mango cupcake..mm fruity!

As anyone who knows me will vouch for, I am a huge cupcake fan (fyi - red velvet is my favourite). And cupcakes have in fact played a large part in two very special occasions in my life so far.

Mr ETM proposed to me in the form of cupcakes last year.  A moment that I will treasure forever.

These fabulous cupcakes came from Love To Eat in York

On our wedding day we decided to go for a cupcake tower with a variety of delicious flavours including sticky toffee pudding and strawberries and cream...they were truly scrumptious!
The cakes were lovingly baked by Mama Doreen's Cupcakes in Killinghall, near Harrogate.
