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!

Chocolate brownies for a gorgeous Christmas present.

Yes! It’s that time of year again when Christmas shopping comes to mind. Here at Mamapie HQ, we’re thinking up all sorts of gorgeous treats to delight you and your friends and loved ones.  Boxes of our luscious chocolate brownies will surely be making their way to lots of happy cake-lovers around the country – maybe you would like to order a box of treats for someone, too.

We’ve been conjuring up some tasty new ideas for you – keep an eye on our website to find out what’s cookin’ in our kitchen.

Love, Mamapie x

The latest photos from mamapie HQ are of a wedding cake I made for some lovely customers of mine in Oxford. They’re huge fans of my mail-order service, and have enjoyed quite a variety of my lovely vegan goodies.

They asked me, at very short notice, to come up with a delicious cake for their marriage registration. The bride wanted chocolate fudge cake, while the groom asked for coffee-pecan cake. So I made them a cake with two tiers: one of each flavour.

For the decoration, I took reference from traditional Pakistani Mehndi designs, which are painted onto the skin with henna paste. I wanted to reflect the intricacy of those designs, and also to create something original for them. These photos show you what I came up with.

A Mehndi-inspired wedding cake.

So, that was mamapie’s first ever attempt at Mehndi-painting. It was such a gorgeous thing to do that I plan to promote Mehndi designs as a speciality I can offer to prospective clients from now on.

Love,

Well, it has been far too long since my last post. I am now a resident of Shrewsbury – coming to live here has been a really positive move.  So your mamapie vegan cakes will now be posted from Shropshire, rather than South Yorkshire.

Here’s a cake I made recently for a little lad in London:

Vansh's Thomas the Tank Engine

…..and another I made for a Sheffield signorina:

Francesca's cake

…and finally, one for my little girl’s friend, Dylan:

Next up: a christening cake for a little boy in Sheffield, and a couple of  interviews for jobs in our new town! Wish me luck…..
