Exciting few days ahead. we’ve been entered into the Merton New business awards! details and registration forms were sent in on friday, and now we just have to wait until 4th August to find out if we’ve been shortlisted. we’re so excited. this could be a MASSIVE achievement if we win. :) cross your fingers for us. we’ll keep you posted!
So we’ve had a little apprentice for the last few weeks, and she’s been doing a great job. not only has she insisted on helping with the cleaning, she’s also helped to lay out all the cupcake cases into the trays, and fill them, and we even got her sticking spots onto a giraffe cake, and then we let her make her own cake. Her name is Adi, and she’s only 7, but her dream is to be a cake maker, so i thought hey, best start training her early, so she’s ready for working here the day she turns 18! :)
a few more cakes from this weekend!
the first normal day of trading starts tomorrow. here are a few cakes from the weekend. really excited to see what happens tomorrow. hopefully it will be as good as saturday was. fingers crossed. pop in and see us if you’re free. 582 Kingston Road, London, SW20 8DN!
Firstly i’d like to thank everyone for their support today. it was an amazing opening day. Very exciting and an incredible turn out. :) I was incredibly tired, and it was so surreal, but it really was better than i could have asked for. I’d like to thank Nikki and Christine especially for putting in such a great effort today. and i’d like to thank my mum and dad for being such an amazing support. i really couldn’t have done it with out you.
All 300 cupcakes were eaten, all 6 cupcake bouquets, 4 cakes and 80 cookies were sold. so i’ve INCREDIBLY happy! :D
Thanks again, and hopefully we can keep this shop up and running cos its been a long time coming, and now my dream is reality! :)

I cannot believe our open day is finally here. im so excited about today, and i hope that its the start of a great beginning. Please come down and join us to celebrate the birth of CAKEOLOGY! :)
Well the countdown is very much underway! we have two full days until the opening on Saturday 2nd April…. its a little scary. we have 2 big deliveries still to supposedly arrive, the phone lines aren’t connected yet, so therefore neither is the internet, we have no bin from the council, at the moment no tables in the training room which isn’t going to help with the open day cupcake display, and at this point right now i have NO idea if we’ll be getting our PDQ machines on time.
HOWEVER… we will still be opening! and we will still be enjoying the day.
Still to do…. 9 cakes, 300 cupcakes, 5 cupcake bouquets, and 80 cookies… ALL for saturday morning. its definitely going to be the biggest weekend of my life! Luckily i have Nikki our shop assistant/organiser who is a great help, and thanks to my mum and dad who have been the biggest support… who stay with me at the shop most nights until midnight! we will definitely be in need of a glass of bubbly at the end of this…..
AND TO THINK THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! :)
Mothers day is fast approaching. check out our offers. We have cupcake bouquets for £30, a happy mothers day cake for £20 and cookies for £10. All come with a hand made card, courtesy of Bob’s Cards. A great gift for any lucky mummy! :)
So finally the work to the shop has finished. all of the builders have moved out, and we are stocking the shelves. Everything is slowly but surely falling into place.
We’re finally sorted out our logo. we’ve reverted back to the original one, as it best describes our company.
The orders have been taking over my life!!! haha. i never realised quite what i was getting myself into. its like a playground for cakey people. The amount of items to choose from! i never realised that there were THAT many different types of cutters, or chocolate products, or colours, or brands of dust. the best order that i’ve made so far has to be the rainbowdust one. £1300 on glitter! :) it looks great on the shelves!
The signs are yet to go up, but we’re getting there! hopefully this week! :)
