Fingers in many pies!

Its been very busy at Charmaine's Cupcake HQ over the past few weeks.  After a quiet start to the month we suddenly were taking lots of phone calls and replying to many emails, we also had the largest amount of "Could you possibly fit an order in for tomorrow or the next day?" enquiries to date!  As a growing business we have the motto of "Say YES to everything, then make it happen" - this does result in some very long days and the occasional skipped meal but businesses do not grow on dreams alone!

Charmaine's Cupcakes will be launching our own online shop very soon selling decorating equipment. We are so excited to be also be able to sell the equipment that we can personally recommend, fabulous moulds and our very own hand-made toppers (thanks to my very creative sister Fiona) so that cake lovers everywhere can start making their very own masterpieces.  For those of you that are quite happy just to enjoy cupcakes then we will even be able to send ours via Royal Mail.

Our cupcakes, Cup-O-Cake™, muffins and biscuits were all on show this weekend at the very stylish Beechwood Shopping Centre in Cheltenham thanks to the amazing Hayley Pain of www.economummy.com who singlehandedly organised an opportunity for Mums who have started a business since having children to promote themselves on the High Street.  It was a great experience where I was fortunate enough to be inspired by other Mumpreneurs and make some new friends (as well as sell lots of cakes).

Halloween is creeping up fast and marks our 1st year anniversary.  This year we have created a six box of spooky surprise cupcakes using hollow toppers that hide an extra treat of smarties for just £10 - perfect as a gift or for a party.  Last day for ordering is Monday 24th October.

I have promised you some big news........it will be announced soon!
