I’ll make this post very short and sweet. This morning I got a lovely-looking package through the post from Brides The Show, which I thought was wonderful! Inside, two invitations to their wedding show, some meringues (which were delicious) and a cupcake. It was a bit squashed, but fair play I thought: it’s come all the way from London, poor little thing – and they’ve tried hard and spent money. Least I can do is say thank you for the treat.

So off to Facebook I went, excitedly chirruping “thank you Brides The Show for the lovely cupcake, I’d love to come to your wedding show but can’t make it.” I thanked the meringue people, and the cupcake makers. Hadn’t tried the cake yet but the meringues were really nice.

I was saving the cupcake for after my lunch. There was a little note asking if I could recognise the flavour. The clue: tastes like a popular breakfast flavour. Easy, I thought – has to be toast and jam. What else could you possibly turn into a cupcake? I briefly considered coco pops, but was smugly convinced it’d be jam or marmalade.  See more...
