Let them eat.. Cupcakes and Fairycakes

Cupcakes and Fairycakes
We decided to head off to the West Coast of Ireland at the weekend to celebrate our friend Orlaith turning 21 (again).
As you all I’m sure would agree, it’s not a birthday party without a moist, sinfully sweet cake! Mind you, I can never decide what I want – should the cake be chocolate, lemon, white chocolate, strawberry, plain, double chocolate…?? It’s a real dilemma!
This is where cupcakes, and in particular Cupcakes and Fairycakes, are the perfect choice.
As both Niall and I were working all week we decided that instead of baking them ourselves we would order them. We found a company in Belfast called ‘Cupcakes and Fairy Cakes’ that specialise in celebratory cupcakes for birthdays, weddings, christenings, or any other excuse you can find to eat cake… and I have many.
To satisfy my indecisive sweet tooth I wanted all 14 to be different flavours and thought this might prove difficult, but Bernadette and Martine were extremely helpful and put my mind at rest, even suggesting flavours they thought would be big hits at the party.
Needless to say, the cupcakes went down a treat and, with all those flavours, there were almost no disagreements over who got what: Niall’s favourite was the Strawberry cupcake (it had homemade strawberry jam mixed through the cupcake batter. making it really moist and sweet); Ciara and Orlaith loved anything with buttercream frosting; and I preferred the chocolate ganache… no suprise there then! :)
Now, we’re no novices when it comes to baking (or eating!) sweet treats, but I can safely say that everything that we tried from ‘Cupcakes and Fairycakes’ was deliciously moist and fluffy – I wonder what their secret is?!
We’ve have already placed our order for Halloween..
