Sweets for my sweets
I love making cakes that people find IRRESITIBLE. I have some wonderful regular customers who seem to have developed a mild addiction to Classy Cupcakes. I know their favourite flavours and they trust my design ideas. Great relationships!
Cakes and other sweet things have always been a big favourite in my family. I will admit to a little weakness for sugar but there are worse things to be addicted to!
I recall with pleasure: special cakes and treats for birthdays; gingerbread biscuits hanging in the Christmas tree; the excitement of swapping comic coupons for chocolate at the newsagent; extreme portion control that still allowed chocolate as a calorie counting student (5 smarties a day in the 2nd year); my first ever crème brulee in Paris (AMAZING) and my eternal weakness for good ice cream. When an excellent ice cream parlour opened just round the corner from our house a few months ago, in the first week my husband, 3 stepsons and I spent more on ice cream than petrol! We decided to nip that behaviour in the bud.
There has always been plenty of healthy eating going on in households I have been part of too, starting with my mum and dad’s year round allotment hauls.
I have a lifelong adoration of well cooked, fresh food and I love sharing it with others. And sometimes having a big pudding to finish with!
What’s wrong with that...?
