Have we told you we're featured in WED Magazine?!

*BLOWING OWN TRUMPET ALERT*

We may have already tweeted and told you on Facebook all about this, however, we really thought it was worth its very own blog – we’re featured in Issue 21 of Cornwal’s WED Magazine!!!!



We were thrilled to go to the fabulous Upton House, Fowey – a fantastic boutique Bed & Breakfast (that is truly worth seeing for believing!) for an amazing photoshoot! With vintage glamour, and a tea party theme, our Dessert Table looked amazing, using Upton House’s own crockery.



There was so much on offer, big scrumptious cakes, chocolate brownies, cake pops, cupcakes, sweets, macaroons, meringues,cookies and much more!! We’re beyond thrilled with the feature in the magaazine and were beyond excited to see we were featured in 7 pages!!! We’ve had some great feedback from brides and grooms to be and other wedding businesses too, and the timing was perfect, to coincide with WED Show – fabulous wedding fayre which took place on Sunday 15th April!

So what are you waiting for?! Order your copy today! Just visit http://www.wedmagazine.co.uk/Cornwall-Wed-Magazine-Issue-21.html  to get your copy delivered to your door! Happy reading!!

With very special thanks to Rebecca and Brendon at www.wedmagazine.co.uk and Angelique at Upton ouse, Fowey www.upton-house.com

When we weren't looking!.....

Ok so imagine my shock today when just browsing through the nerdy bits of this blogging lark I find that over 397 peeps have read my blogs!!! What?!!! I thought I was just waffling on and no-one really read them!!!! Taking into account I've probably jumped onto the page around 200 times that's a lot of people!!!! So very chuffed that you manage to stay awake whilst reading this - I'm assuming you do but I guess the number is just the amount of people who land on this page and not those who manage to stay awake to read it all! Well thanks for staying awake long enough for this anyhoo - mucho appreciated!!



One half of us Cornish Fancies team is currently away on hols and having a little time to reflect on all that has happened in the past few months I'm feeling really chuffed with our little baking company!!

We've had some fab feedback from customers and this week we've had a write up in a local paper and I'm away so can't see it until I get back!!!! If it was just me on hols I would seriously cut if short to dash back to sunny Cornwall to see it but don't think the hubby or 2.5 year old would appreciate that!!! Ah well, will just have to sit tight and wait until we get back home.

Don't forget its Valentine's Day soon and on our super-duper new website www.cornishfancies.com you can even order them ONLINE!!! We can even deliver them to you too - how much do we spoil you?!!!

Well, for those that managed to stay awake long enough many, many thanks!

Tea and Cake!

Here at Cornish Fancies, we think it's important to meet with our lovely bride and grooms to be and give them a special treat as they start to plan their big day. We offer a free, no-obligation wedding consultation here at Cornish Fancies HQ and we get to meet lovely people on the start of their wedding journeys.

Its so lovely meeting the couple face to face and chatting about their big day and their plans. During our consultation you'll get to sample some yummy cake (or treats) over a cup of tea and we'll show you our portfolio and go through your ideas with you to make sure you're day goes as you've been dreamed of.

You'll even get some of our cakes or treats to take home with you too. We want to be a part of your special day and hope to make the consultation as stress free and enjoyable as possible!

If you'd like further information, visit www.cornishfancies.com or just give us a call 01326 291 036 and we'll be more than pleased to help!

Happy New Year!

So 2012 is finally here and now is the time most peeps will be thinking and talking about that all important diet.....well welcome to a breath of fresh air as we take you on cake / sweet treats journey in the world of Cornish Fancies!!! 
 So the end of 2011 saw us being very busy in the run up to Christmas and so what do you do when you're busy? Create something new of course!!! And these fab creatures are Cake Push Ups! Like the lollipops you used to have when you were a kid and 'push up' to get more out, well these are the same but of...yep cake!!! SO much fun to make and eat too!! They went down a treat (if you pardon the pun!!) at the local school's Christmas Fayre!

We've had a nice little break over the festive season but now its full steam ahead as we look forward to 2012! If you have any ideas or a certain sweet treats you'd love to try then please do get in touch with us - we'd LOVE to hear from you!! We're going to be busy over the coming months letting people know we're actually here so please feel free to share and tell all of your friends about Cornish Fancies! Ta-ra for now and a very Happy New Year to you all!!

P.S. If you ARE on a diet then a cupcake is a great small treat that doesn't damage the waist line and is individual so you can only have one!! Well that's my take on it anyway!!! Having said that if I had a box of 4 cupcakes I'd eat 4 so.......!!!!

Time to think about Christmas!!

Well that time of the year has finally reached the nether regions of Cornwall and we're starting to think about Christmas here at Cornish Fancies!! We're preparing for a christmas fayre soon enough, full of delicious goodies in time for the festive season - let us know if you would like to see anything in particular!

We've had a busy few weeks with wedding enquiries, consultations and a lovely order for some wedding favours (cupcakes) for a wedding in the next fortnight!
The above image shows a lovely sample for a wedding consultation we did last weekend. The couple were interested in Baileys cupcakes so we had a couple of weeks of sourcing and testing Baileys recipes much to the delight of our friends and neighbours!!


We've also been coming up with new recipes for yummy treats for our dessert tables or postal treats etc - the above pic is a yummy heap of Toffee Popcorn Brittle - toffee popcorn with white choc and dark choc - just perfect for nibbles over the party season or cosy nights in front of the fire......mmmm......!!! We've also been testing Almond Mazipan Bites too - well it's a hard job but someone's got to do it!!
We've also had the great pleasure of sending out our yummy treats to some special troops in Afghanistan, much to their delight!! They had brownies bites (as pictured above), with some yummy fudge too!! They went down a treat! (pardon the pun!!!) and we'll be sending more their way very soon! We're also offering ALL serving personnel in Afghanistana special discount of 15% off any orders they make too!!
