A whole new world

Each cupcake is an entire cake made for one making them a convenient and economical snack cake with all the trimmings. Over 220 years later we’re celebrating Amelia Simmons revolutionary invention with rich and decadent chocolate cupcakes on national cupcake day, the 18th of October.
Orange and dark chocolate cupcake
Chocolate is a rich flavour that goes well with just about anything from sweet to savoury and even spicy flavours.
Dark chocolate and orange are a great combination, and while it might not be the sticky sweetness of milk chocolate the kids might like, it’s a great flavour for the grown-up table especially those who lean more towards savoury flavours.

Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate is a flavour only true chocolate lovers can survive. It’s rich, decadent and threatens to drown you in goodness with every bite.
Topped with a truffle, these cupcakes would not be ruined by a dusting of gold leaf.
