Deep, Dark Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

Treat yourself to some luscious cakes, all made by hand. Brownies, cupcakes, celebration cakes, lovely presents: all my cakes are truly gorgeous. Vegans and those with special dietary requirements need not miss out, either; there are lots of egg-free, dairy-free and vegan cakes here. We also use wheat-free and gluten-free flour in several recipes (all my different varieties of chocolate brownies, for example).

COMPETITION!  ‘My Fantasy Brunch Date’

Hello, lovely readers. Here at Mamapie, we’re starting to feel the Autumn chill. Time for hot baths, home-made soup, country walks, and some seasonal cooking….and a competition!

Up for grabs is a copy of ‘Vegan Brunch’, by the fabulous Isa Chandra Moskowitz of the Post Punk Kitchen. Isa has written a number of books on vegan cookery and baking – her recipes are absolutely cracking.

‘Vegan Brunch’ features recipes for 75 scrumptious dishes such as Swiss Chard Frittata, Rosemary Tomato Scones, Blueberry Ginger Spelt Muffins, and Pain au Chocolat with Fresh Fruit. There are gluten-free dishes, too. This would be a great addition to your stash of cookbooks, whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just a lover of really fresh and tasty food.

You could even enter the competition on behalf of the person you’re inviting on your fantasy date, and have the prize sent to them if you win!

Our competition runs until 23:59 on Monday, 2nd December, 2012, so you have plenty of time to concoct your entry! Read on to find out the deal.

Star Cake with White-Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Well, well, well. We begin 2012 here at Mamapie with a booking from our friends Catherine and Adam, for a dessert table at their summery August wedding. It’s all taking place at the beautiful Gants Mill in Bruton, Somerset. Brownies and cheesecake are part of the plan so far, and we look forward to dreaming up lots of ideas for other yummy delights to add to the menu. How lovely! It’s great to be thinking of luscious Summer berries already.

Christmas was a time for the (now traditional!) Mamapie Chocolate Brownie Factory. Each year, we get super-busy taking orders for our boxes of assorted brownies, which we then send out, on our customers’ behalf, to their friends and relatives all over the country. If you’d like us to send a box to someone, please just get in touch at mamapiecake@yahoo.co.uk and we will be happy to help. Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us, so how about getting your beloved’s gift sorted nice and early? Leave it in our hands, and we will send some gorgeous treats to them in time for the special day!

Read our article on the Shrewsbury Finger website.

We’ve also been featured in the Shropshire Star newspaper, and Shropshire Life magazine are running an article about the Market Hall in their October edition (available from Wednesday, 21st September). I’ll be posting a link to that article ASAP.
