Cupcake Wench

Sometimes you sleep in because it’s raining cats and dogs (I’d love a Maltese puppy btw). Then, oh crap! You remember you need to go out. And the car is parked outside. So you get out of bed and get ready and realise the umbrella is INSIDE the car that’s parked out in the rain. *sigh* So you get wet when all you wanted to do was stay in bed and snuggle.

Had a morning like that? Well I did but then it got better.

Why? Because I went to check out my Facebook page and saw that 501 people like me! And that made me happy. And being a good happy wench, I want to share the joy around. That’s why I’m giving 4 lucky people a 6-pack each of our locally-inspired Creole Cocoa cupcakes.

To score your pack of these sweet treats, simply tell us what makes you happy in the comments below by midnight on Tuesday 22nd May. Enter an email address you use frequently (wouldn’t want you to win and don’t know it!). One comment per person please.

Winners will be announced here on the blog on Wednesday 23rd May and on our Facebook page so check us back to see if you won. All winners must be able to collect their prize at Grand Bazaar for 3pm on Sunday 27th May.

While out on a cake delivery last year, we happened to meet a couple of Marc’s high school classmates. We had some extra red velvet cupcakes (weird huh) so these guys got lucky!

Fast forward to February when I got an email asking if I would make a wedding cake. It so happened, one of the guys was getting married in early April and was so impressed with how my cake had tasted that he was ready to book me once I said yes!

I was totally honored. And freaked out.

Wedding cakes are so much responsibility. It’s right there in the spotlight with the bride and groom so I knew it had to be perfect.

Then to top it off, they wanted 250 red velvet cupcakes packed in boxes as their favours. Thankfully I had Marc and my mom to help decorating these otherwise I would have collapsed from the stress of it all.

It was actually fun making the cake. Transporting it… not so much. Have you any idea how terrifying it is to transport a wedding cake with the condition of our roads? I was in the car behind the one carrying the cake and my heart would skip a beat every time we had to go over a pothole. I wasn’t even that nervous on my wedding day!

Finally we got there and I was so relieved that it was still perfect. I assembled the top tier and the elephants and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Want the perfect gift for your special someone?

Surprise him/her or treat yourself with this Valentine’s Day gift box. Four red velvet beauties packed with love in an elegant gift box for $60.

Orders close on February 10th and deliveries will be done on the 13th (Hey! I have to celebrate too!). Depending on location, your delivery will be free.

XOXO!

Greetings, cupcake-keteers. Mr Wench here with my inaugural Cupcake Wench post.

I know nobody likes freeness like a Trini. Especially when the Wench’s famous cupcakes are involved! And have I got some secret insider’s tips to scoring free cupcakes for you. Gotta hurry though. Can’t let the Wench catch me mucking around in here.

Yesterday one intrepid phototakeouter scored a dozen of our classic Chocoholic cupcakes as part of our Photo Walk T&T competition for #photowalktt06. Shoot, share, win. It was that easy.

Wondering how you can get in on the action? Here goes:

1. Take part in a Photo Walk T&T photo walk
   The Wench and I organise regular photo walks in Trinidad and Tobago. Past photo walkers have gotten to sample brand new flavours like our Ultimate Mokalicious cupcakes, and we guarantee there will be more Cupcake Wench contests at future walks.
2. Visit us at UpMarket
   We’re making our second trip to UpMarket at the Woodbrook Youth Facility on Saturday 10th, December. Our super-yummy, never-dry-or-boring cupcakes will be on sale and we’ll be taking orders for our Christmas cupcakes. Limited samples will also be available.
3. Just ask (nicely)
   Last time we ran a giveaway one of our Twitter friends didn’t enter in time. But she asked nicely and we were able to get a couple samples to her. We’re nice like that.

What are you willing to do for free cupcakes?! (There may be a surprise in store here…)

Every Christmas the Wench offers a special packaged gift with cute Christmas cupcakes. This year is no exception. You can get your beautiful Christmas decorated cupcakes in an elegant gift box for your friends, family and yourself. And better yet, for every box sold we’re giving back $5 to charity.

Our Christmas cupcake gift boxes are perfect for our corporate clients who want to show their clients and employees just how much they’re appreciated.

And if you’re overseas, how about sending some gift boxes to family and friends. You know they’ll love you for it!

Want more than 4 in a box? We can do 6 cupcakes in our standard plastic containers or 9 in our white bakery boxes. All packaging comes decorated with pretty Christmas ribbons.

So place your order today by calling 868-482-5094 or email us at orders (at) cupcakewench (dot) com. Orders close on December 17th and deliveries go on until December 23rd.

Give the gift of sweetness!
