Autumn and Halloween Treats for UK Delivery!

They’re here! It’s time to treat yourself and grab one of our seasonal goodies for UK delivery via our e-store now that it is officially autumn. With social distancing and lockdown restrictions we’re sure everyone needs something sweet to look forward to. Why not have macarons, cookies etc sent to a loved one? With each parcel you can add a personalised note too. Perfect for when you miss your friends, need to say thank you or think someone special deserves a pick-me-up!

Autumn treats for UK delivery!

Say hello to our Pumpkin Spice Latte Macarons (or PSL Macarons)! These six beauties are all dressed up as shimmering white and gold pumpkins. Each light brown macaron is piped with a cute pumpkin design before they’re filled with our coffee and pumpkin spice infused buttercream. Then they’re nestled into our small white & rose gold branded gift box. Such a chic and seasonal way to see in the autumn months.

Still loving pumpkins? Our Pumpkin Patch cookie set is both stylish yet spooky… the sweetest Halloween treat! We’ve created five different pumpkins in Madagascan vanilla featuring Halloween sprinkles, pink icing drips and shimmering gold accents. These are great for small family parties. You can even add these to fun Halloween trick or treat bags for the kids (or grown ups)!

Halloween Treats for UK delivery!

Each season we launch a cool treat bag and this Halloween is no different! Inside every white and gold polka dot gift bag (with creepy googly eyes) is a special seasonal sweet. Sink your teeth into one of our Caramel Chocolate Covered Oreos decorated with a sprinkle studded royal icing pumpkin. Add our huge Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow to your hot chocolate for an after dinner treat. Or why not enjoy the cute Halloween macarons with a scary movie!

What’s inside?

Ghost cookie in Madagascan vanilla
Zombie bear macaron in Belgian chocolate
Brains macaron in Strawberry
Marshmallow in Pumpkin Spice
1 x Pumpkin Oreo in Caramel Chocolate
2 x Pumpkins in Belgian White Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice

One of our favourites in our autumn treats collection are these super cute Halloween macarons! They’re adorable zombie teddy bears filled with Belgian chocolate buttercream. We’ve then paired them with creepy pink macarons piped with royal icing brains and filled with a gooey strawberry centre. These are great for the kids, but we also think they’d make the perfect gift for a fun-loving grown-up.

If you’re hoping to create a spectre-cle (see what we did there) then why not add our ghost cookies to your basket? This set of 5 Madagascan vanilla cookies feature a different design on each. We’ve studded them with themed sprinkles and added the cutest expressions too. How fun would these be at your lockdown family Halloween bash!

We hope you enjoy these cute seasonal treats as much as we enjoyed making them. We still have our large macarons boxes to finalise (so excited about these) and add to keep your eyes peeled! However, you spend your autumn months please stay safe and sweet!

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Cake Decorating Tutorials!

#Reels is a new feature on Instagram that we’ve been totally enjoying since it’s launch. It’s a great way for us to share BTS videos, peeks at the latest cakes… AND 15 second tutorials! It’s pretty quick for us to film, edit and share too. We shoot everything via iPhone, photograph the end result, do a few edits and plan a good time to post. To celebrate the fact that autumn is right around the corner (yay) we’ve created 3 quick & easy pumpkin cake decorating tutorials via Reels. Head over to our Instagram to view! Just a quick note: so far you can’t view Reels via desktop or web browser so check it out via your phone or iPad.

Pumpkin cake decorating tutorials via Instagram

One of our autumn tutorials is a quick look at how to ‘paint’ modern pumpkins using royal icing. This is in the style and texture of oil paintings. We’ve done this straight onto pretty gold splatter macarons, but it’s a great technique to use on fondant or set royal icing. You can even use a stiff buttercream instead and paint onto ganached cakes.

Next, is a tutorial on how to pipe the top of a cupcake to look like a cute pumpkin. Just a good plain round tip, some silky buttercream and a few smooth swipes as you pipe can create the familiar ridged look of everyone’s favourite seasonal gourd.

Finally, how to pipe mini pumpkins with buttercream! You can create some fun pumpkin patches with this method. Use different piping tips to make different textures. Try using buttercream in different colours for a vibrant field full of pumpkins.

We’ll have more to come with Halloween and the winter season fast approaching too so keep checking back! Hope you enjoy them.

Autumn Cupcakes Collection 2020!

Autumn is almost here! That time of year when you begin to feel cosy, crave pumpkin spice everything and pin must-have log cabins. It’s also the season to indulge in a few extra treats. We never get bored of all the flavours autumn brings and this year is no different. So… to say hello to falling leaves and crisp mornings here’s our Autumn Cupcake Collection!

Keep scrolling to read all about our autumn cupcakes & head to the bottom of this post to book! (Please note: these are only available within the Kingston-upon-Hull area)

Our six box of seasonal cupcakes comes with two fun flavours. Pumpkin Spice & Caramel and Nutella Stuffed. They’re bound to get you in the mood for autumn if you’re not #feelingseasonal already. Unbelievably, this is our first ever autumn cupcakes box. 2020 has been such a rollercoaster year that we thought an extra sweet treat would be a great idea, right?

Box of 6 autumn cupcakes for £15
Available for local collection or delivery (subject to availability)
We are unable to make amendments to the look, colour, flavour, ingredients etc.

Pumpkin Spice & Caramel cupcake

We LOVE pumpkin spice. When we were planning our autumnal cupcakes pumpkin spice was at the centre of everything. We jotted down ideas for the classic PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latter) and even a Toasted Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow. Finally we settled on Pumpkin Spice and Caramel which leaves out the coffee (perfect for kids) and doesn’t get too sticky (perfect for grown-ups… kids) with all the marshmallow gooey-ness.

Each of our Pumpkin Spice & Caramel cupcakes are cored and filled with salted caramel sauce. We then swirl them with a silky smooth caramel infused buttercream, drizzle with even more salted caramel and add sprinkles. Finally we pipe buttercream pumpkins on top with even more cute sprinkles as the pumpkin stalks!

Here’s a tempting shot of the salted caramel sauce inside! It’s perfect with the pumpkin spice flavour.

Nutella Stuffed cupcake

Now it’s time to look at our Nutella Stuffed cupcake! A spoonful of delicious Nutella (yum) is stuffed into our chocolate cupcakes before each is swirled with a Belgian chocolate and Nutella infused buttercream. To decorate we’ve added a glittering rose gold splatter, roasted chopped hazelnuts and a Nutella macaron on top. Perfect for the chocolate obsessed.

Look at that lovely sticky Nutella inside! Can’t. Resist.
