National Cupcake Week

Last week was National Cupcake Week, so I decided we just had to share some information on our cupcakes over at Thomas the Baker. As you can see in the pictures, all of our cupcakes are hand piped and decorated. What you might not realise is that they are even hand piped by a Thomas family member herself – the young lady in the photos is my younger sister, Beth, who is currently working full time in ‘Confec’, as it is colloquially known in the bakery. One of her everyday tasks is to load up a piping bag full with delectable butter icing and use a steady hand to form the perfect swirls. The range of cupcakes is constantly evolving, with new designs being thought up all the time by our development team, including a celebrity chef (more on that at a later date though!).

Unfortunately our cupcakes are not currently available to buy online, so if you want to get a taste of their yummy goodness, you’ll need to make your way to one of our shops to try one. We currently have flavours ranging from summery strawberry and tart blueberry to rich chocolate, topped with rolos, flakes, edible glitter, chocolate flakes and sprinkles. Did you know that it’s also possible to order them in store? If you want quite a few for your child’s birthday in a few days, or just a couple for yourself the next day, pop into one of our stores and ask. You’ll be able to order as many as you like for you to pick up at your convenience.

Is there a particular flavour or topping that you’d like to see on our cupcakes? Let us know and we’ll do our best to get it on the shelves! Of course, our cupcakes, as well as all our other products, go through a rigorous testing process meaning that not everything that we try out reaches the shops. But you never know, if there’s something you’d like to see, we’ll have a good look in to it! If it was up to me, the shelves would be lined with salted caramel and fudge cupcakes!
