So it was my good friend, Cindy's birthday yesterday and I thought I would do a little surprise! In which I decided to send her some cupcakes not only saying good wishes on her special day but also because of an upcoming pre-reg exam she has to do (again), that I hope it would give some extra support and comfort.
I know in these trying times it can be hard to push through things and get yourself together so with these in place it's just a nice feeling getting a surprise or even making one hehe
Anyways, I couldn't have done it without the help of this local patisserie in Nottingham (Cherryontop) whom I found online. Not gonna lie, it wasn't that simple to just simply find someone who could deliver some cake to your doorstep (as I need it to be delivered for I am not based in Nottingham) plus in terms of the type of 'cakes' I have in mind, it has to be easy to take in so realistic, as well as not too extravagant (Don't want to end up leaving Cindy in a muddle for I know she's not the kind of girl who is that fancy, as also has to prepare for the exam!). I mean if it was me I'm not sure if I would want to be in a right mind in wanting to a big round cake at my doorstep (even though it is nice don't get me wrong!) but then to later on eat it all in one go lol. I initially went for this website: https://thecakesolution.co.uk/view-all-products/ which I was thinking of getting either getting a strawberry glazed baked cheesecake or one of the party cakes (the 7 "Cookies & Cream) (Looking back again, the Mudcakes - Premium boston- looks nice) but felt that "yeah that is too big" 😅
After going through a couple of websites online for cakes to be delivered, the one that caught my eye is https://www.cherryontopcupcakes.co.uk/ . Her reviews and also Instagram instantly made me choose her shop as I decided on having cupcakes and hers was the perfect choice. It was very simple as luckily she had her email on insta so it was easy to reach out to her and be able to make fast conversation. The minimum order is 6 cupcakes, with up to 2 flavours. However seeing on her insta, it seems to be possible to get 3 flavours so I asked! and fortunately she was able to fulfill that wish 😌.
All in all I cannot thank enough. As I hope not only did it put a smile on Cindy's face but also made me put a smile.
