Happy Birthday to.. Us!

Create our birthday cupcake
How time flies.. Chilli and Chocolate is a whole 2 years old on September 28th!
We started our little blog to keep track of all the places we’ve eaten in and all the recipes that we make at home. The fact that people liked reading about our culinary adventures was a nice bonus. Thanks to you, though, the site has become a lot more than that – and hopefully we’ll continue to grow.
Now that it’s time to celebrate we thought that it was only fitting that one of our favourite Local Food Heroes join in – and that you get involved too..
I sense a competition..
We’re all about moderation here at Chilli and Chocolate (yeah, right!) and thought that a whole birthday cake was a little excessive.. I mean, really, who eats a whole cake!?
A few dainty and delectable cupcakes, though.. Oh yes, right up our street!
Bernadette and Martina, the sweet-toothed artisans behind Belfast’s own Cupcakes & Fairycakes, have donated their baking skills to help us celebrate our big day in style.
Now all YOU have to do is to dream up the perfect cupcake!
How to enter
- Comment on this post or email us at info@chilliandchocolate.com, telling us what your signature cupcake flavour would be.
- The competition closes at 5pm on Wednesday 15th September.
- We’ll have a taste-off of the 4 best cupcakes on Sunday 19th September at the Cupcakes & Fairycakes stall in St. George’s.
- The winning creation will go into production and will be sold on their stall at St. George’s Market on Saturday 25th September – and credited to you too.
- The winner will also get a whole box of cupcakes from the stall that day – whichever flavours they want!
Now, how’s that for a prize?! Your name in lights (well, printed on card) and a box of the best cupcakes in town!
Want to help us decide? We’d love you to call down to the stall on Sunday September 19th and judge the top 4 entries for yourself!
Tips for entering
Just entering “chocolate” as a suggestion is fine.. but “a dark chocolate cupcake topped with Belgian milk chocolate cream-frosting and dark chocolate nibs” is better.

The dreaded Terms and Conditions
There’s just one – if you want to collect the box of cupcakes you’ll need to be able to call down to the Cupcakes & Fairycakes stall at St. George’s Market on September 25th.
If you’re content with just the fame and the incessant intrusion of the paparazzi that goes along with it, then no geographic restrictions apply!

I think a lemon curd cupcake would be delicious. A soft buttery lemon base with a lemon curd fillling topped with lemon buttercream. Yummmm
A Sugahfix special – dense chocolate bun with a raspberry cream cheese frosting – tart and sweet and pink – perfection :)
