Love the comments guys..

FAO Anita:
                   Just to let you know how much we enjoyed your cup cakes with the ganache toppings bought from the Market Event today.

                   Really delicious !!!
           
                    Hope you sold out and have warmed up.  Nice to talk to you both.

                    Regards  Margaret & John   

We had some cupcakes at the Irish Clothing store on the corner of High St/Silver St over the weekend.

Although, I did not get to try any, they looked very nice. Would you kindly tell me what the lead times
are and how much they would cost please.

Thank you

13th Nov Local fete extravaganza

Hi all,


Lots of good feedback about the cognac and orange flavour cupcake. But the best in order was:

1. Vanilla base-Vanilla pod butter cream with cappuccino and peppermint chocolate centre masses.
2. Cocoa base-Vanilla pod butter cream with Lemon, Lime chocolate centre masses.
3. Cocoa base-Lemon with zest shreds, caramel and peppermint centre masses with raspberry fruit inset.
4. Cocoa base-Strawberry butter cream with Belgian 80% ganache with strawberry fruit inset.
5. Vanilla base-Strawberry butter cream with caramel and peppermint ganache with strawberry fruit inset.
6. Cocoa base-Strawberry butter cream with Belgian 80% ganache with Jamaican rum.
7. Cocoa base-Belgian 80% butter cream with 1.5 tablespoon Belgian 80% ganache with malteser crunches inset.
8. Vanilla base-cappuccino butter cream with caramel and peppermint ganche with strawberry fruit inset.

They all went by 4pm.


Also, Lots of love to my new followers at the offices in Meridean.


The business has turned a corner recently, the testing and selecting of new chococlates has made me more determined to stick to quality of flavours than tastesless sprinkless.


But the childrens parties will have the little devils sprinkled as a normal design.

This week we will have a blast, I will be making:

1. Concentrated raspberry with Belgian centre masses
2. Irish Coffee with Belgian centre masses
3. Orange and Cointreau with Belgian centre masses 
4. Bourbon Vanilla with cappuccino centre masses
5. Mocca 'Rio' and chocolate peach centre masses.

I may change mix designs, all depends on what get the juices going. But one thing is for sure, all ganaches will be made last thing at 10 am Friday, these will rock until Sunday dinner with the fruit.


I only received requests late last week after the deadline mixing for the concentrate  and chocolate. I do this 24hrs in advance, this way the chocolate absorbs all the juices before the tempering with the cream.


So if you have a favourite, drop me a line on quantity, also don't forget your

1. Extension to office tel number
2. Floor level
3. Company if it is not attached to your email string (yes I get the request for Jenny 01@aol.com want 5 of the killers.)
4. QTY.
5. Time.

We can normally hit delivery time within 2 hrs, but everyone ordering for 5pm calls before the girls night out is now gaining some status. We try to be accommodating, but you will have to bare with us for these little extras.


The secret is in the mixing...

Tasting session 23 rd November -NatterJacks in Braunstone Gate

Hi everyone,

I'm holding my new tasting session for the new flavours, this is about everyone who has purchased a cupcake to come along and taste the variations in the range.

I hope everyone can spare a hour, the session is booked from 7pm to 9pm on Tues 23 rd Nov. It will hold about 100, so not everyone can come. There is almost 1000 people now who have my cupcakes every month.

So, if you send me your details on cupcake.anita@gmail.com, then I will create a list of first come first serve basis.

There also will be a special chocolate drink, this is not drinking chocolate,but the stuff you find in Harrods.

At the end of the session you can pick your cupcake of choice and be able to purchase anymore if your stomach and taste buds will allow.

I love my new flavours.

Just to let everyone know that I now have some new flavours to add into my mid dark chocolate, only for strong hearted. The recent requests for something for the liquor artisan in us, has created the interest to find these new little new additions.

Jamaican rum, Cognac and Orange and Cointreau. These have bite. BEWARE.

Also, my new passion fruit is smelling and tasting like heaven. My new chocolate taste this week is Lemon and Lime, a very citrus aroma and taste.

Fridays round was great yesterday, big thank you to all the late sales at 6pm in the call centres, big thanks to all the office managers who gave the opportunity to sell my little delights.

Christmas orders for Dec 4 onwards are now being taken

Hi everyone,

Viva la Cupcake is making some small sample Christmas sets for advanced ordering due to last minute rushing for office party treats.

Its all in the wrist.

First of all, big thank you to everyone at LHA Leicester.

You made my day with some of the feedback my assistant returned (hubby god bless him).

It was great to know that bigger corporations, will let the small lady in of the street to sell her special cupcakes to its wonderful staff.

From what I hear, it sounds like fun place to work. Everyone was friendly and appreciative.

My cupcake ethos is only about creating the indivudual flavour and smell, rather than tasteless decorations that are bone dry.

I spend a few hours aweek, simply mixing and tasting fruits with high quality chocolates and desert addititions such as vanilla pods, etc.

The positions for my resale are going to be in the Braunstone gate area, ideally this will be two spots.

1 coffee bar and 1 eaterie to be named shortly. The interest is hot, but the Viva brand needs a loving home to show off her colours and aromas.

The two families providing a meal for the young hearts, which send them into a drunken conscious stupor under a new moon, viva la moon.

So this week is all about the new inner tastes, cocoa and chocolate mass centre with a dulce de leche toppings.

This is a truly silky smooth look with a selfish indulgent aroma. The classic feel to this is alike to toffee cheesecake.

Of course, I will add some small twists to these centres based on flavours that are for the mind and heart as always.

Love to the diary, x

My top flavours are for this month

Hello diary,

Today is the best day of my week, creation and fantasy. I sit down and find natural concentrated flavours from top fruit artisans who then supply me with sample pots. I have a process of testing the flavours with my eyes closed and then have a small intake of the aromas. Then comes the small tastes followed by the big spoon.

This week, I have some new ideas, a hint of chocolate coffee ganache topping with my favourite butter cream mix. This went down well yesterday with my friends, they are so fussy, but honest. And when one of them who says coffee is not her thing, is now converted.

This was followed by my new ganache range; orange, lime, peppermint, strawberry, dark chocolate 85%, white chocolate, honey, cappuccino and caramel.

The whole production kitchen was smelling of fruit and chocolate sweetness. The testing will be my new round of potential clients and 1 new restaraunt. The small run will be around 100 cupcakes split into 10 flavour sections. Since Friday is my new week round, I will increase the production from 3 to  4 days to expand on Fridays potential new clients and customers.

My weekly list for Saturday and Sunday is almost full, but its a sellout in its own right in terms of sales.

The cupcakes tomorrow may have some hidden features on the filling that are top secret, so, I will expect more questions on what is inside the centre filling.

Since swapping all of my cheap off the shelf for high end quality chocolate from the chocolate artisan,  the response from my existing customers and the feedback has been brilliant.

Bye for now my little diary..
