A Somerset wedding

Wedding news from Somerset.

WEDNESDAY, 29 AUGUST, 2012

On Saturday, 25th August, months of planning came to fruition, with the wedding of my friends, Catherine & Adam Turner. Their wedding was held at the glorious Gants Millin Bruton, Somerset – a beautiful venue on a family farm in the countryside.

Waiting with bated breath for the bride.

We created the dessert menu, which comprised three flavours of brownies, a chilled Indian rice pudding, Lemon Polenta Cake wedges topped with some succulent strawberries, and our own original concept, exclusive to the wedding: Thai Rolls in rice-paper wrappers, with a filling of coconut sticky rice, toasted sesame seeds, and a fresh mango-passion fruit custard. All our dessert options were gluten-free, so that the bride could dive right in and have whatever she wanted and really indulge herself.

The wedding guests loved the choices on offer, a fact made all the sweeter because the happy couple are friends of mine. All in all, a really fantastic day!

Hello from Shrewsbury….

Monday, April 18th, 2011

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…..

Chocolate brownies for a gorgeous Christmas present.

Hello again. With Autumn making things rather frosty and freezy here, and Christmas a few short weeks away, I’m looking forward to some cosy nights and lots of gorgeous festive baking for my lovely customers.

Have I got some treats for you! Read on for news of a special discount for all you lovely website visitors…

Christmas is looking like a very decadent affair here at mamapie, with boxes of chocolate brownies set to join the presents under many a Christmas tree.

You can order the classic plain chocolate version, or try my popular Christmassy chocolate-orange brownies – both a delicious treat!

Festive chocolate-orange brownies - for cake-lovers.

And for something even more festive, why not go for my all-out Christmas Specialdark chocolate brownies with cranberries, orange zest, pecans and Christmas spices. Truly extravagant! All of my brownies are available as vegan treats or non-vegan (with eggs and butter).

They’re moist, tender and totally moreish. Available in boxes of 12 – perfect for sharing with your guests at Christmas tea parties!

De Li!

De Li!

I’ve just finished a birthday cake for a little girl here in Sheffield. She loves the TV programme ‘Waybuloo’, and wanted a Waybuloo cake. Mamapie to the rescue! – I made her a vegan chocolate cake, iced it with yellow fondant icing and strawberry-pink buttercream, and decorated it in true mamapie style, with an adorable De Li on top. Happy birthday, Hidaaya!
