Blossom Bakes

Long post incoming!

I’ve thought long & hard about this, but following the untimely death of my Dad, I’ve made the tough decision to close Blossom Bakes 😞💔

This is not a decision I’ve taken lightly, but it’s for the benefit of my girls & my own mental & physical health.

Blossom Bakes was a sideline to my 30 hour a week job, as well as raising my girls & keeping my home in a liveable state 😂 Something had to give!

Maybe someday I’ll start it up again, but for now this is the right choice for us.

For any outstanding orders, or for anyone who needs me, I can be contacted on 07850864388.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support over the past few years, for all the orders that have been placed, the messages & comments - it’s all meant so much to me!

Hopefully I’ll see you all soon 🧁💐

Piping in this heat can be a real pain in the ass 🥵 but it’s worth it when the end result is like this 🥰🥰

Due to me being a total dose & getting my dates wrong 🙈🙈 I have this 7 cupcake bouquet available if someone wants one for this evening (£30 - collection only)

*Edit* Bouquet has been claimed 🥰

💜💜 On the subject of special bouquets, this beauty was delivered up to NI hospice this morning to mark a gorgeous wedding that took place a few days ago. Ordered by a family friend in Scotland!
The lady in question left the colour choice up to me & I had to go with purples as they are my favourite 🥰
Once again, I wish the bride & groom a lifetime of love & happiness ♥️

🤍🤍 This one was a little bit special, because it was actually my very first wedding booking! (It was booked over a year ago)
Doing a full 19 cupcake bouquet in just one colour (with some greenery) is actually much more difficult (to me) than doing various colours. I made sure to add lots of texture & detail to make it look as real as possible!

I hope they have the most amazing wedding & wish the bride & groom all the happiness in the world ♥️♥️♥️

My favourite size of bouquet to do is the 19 cupcake. I love planning it, piping it & wrapping it! And this beauty in its gorgeous soft tones is no exception - I just love it ♥️

Oh I do love a pretty pastel bouquet 🥰🥰

✨12 cupcake detailed bouquet available for £45 (usually £50)

How cute is this 7 cupcake bouquet with matching sponge ♥️♥️♥️

A beautiful blend of soft & bold colours in this one 🥰

I’ve let the cake/bouquet combo slide this past few months but, inspired by a few queries over the weekend, I’ve decided to showcase them once more 🥰
Stunning centrepiece for any event!

Finishing off the weekend with this beauty. 19 cupcakes finished in tones of blush, white & caramel ♥️

🤍💙Blue & whites for this beauty 💙🤍

Simple, understated, elegant .. this white & gold bouquet has a real touch of class ♥️

Two totally different bouquets out the door this evening.
💚🤍First up was the 7 cupcake - white with a touch of light green & I fell in love with the textures of it!
💗💛Next up the swirl rose/dahlia 12 cupcake bouquet in striking tones of pink & yellow.
I’d love to combine these 2 and do a full bouquet of dahlias so if anyone would like one of those, just let me know; I think it would look amazing!!

A wee break from the boxes with this gorgeous swirl rose/dahlia mix. I love these dusky tones 💕💕

💜 When you want to give a gift of luxury, decadence & class to your clients …. it just had to be the purples 💜

I swear I’m like a kid with a new toy when it comes to these boxes 😂 I can’t get over how pretty they are!

After a busy few days with Easter bouquets, I am so excited to have the next few days off so I might be a bit quiet on here, but I couldn’t leave without showing you all my newest offering.

♥️How elegant is this!♥️

🧁4 gorgeous cupcakes presented in a beautiful clear lidded box with rope handles.

I’m running an introductory offer with these beauties;
From now until the end of May they’re available for only £15 ✨✨

🐣Have a wonderful Easter Sunday everyone and thank you, once again, for all your continued support 🐣🥰

A little break from the Easter bouquets with this little 12 cupcake beauty & matching sponge.
We kept the Easter colour scheme though & I absolutely love it!

The Easter 🐣 bouquets 💐 have officially begun!
I just think these are so friggin cute 🥰
Time to clean the bomb site that is the kitchen & get tomorrow’s prep underway ♥️

Sweet & pretty 7 cupcake bouquet to brighten up your Monday 💕

Another week of (mostly) prep .. so I’m posting old pics so you don’t forget about me and Instagram doesn’t punish my lack of activity 🙈😂

When pink is your favourite colour 💕💕💕💕💕

A little midweek cutie 🥰🥰

🐣💐🧁 How cute is this Easter bouquet! 🥰

🐣7 cupcake bouquet - £30

🐣Collection dates will be Friday 7th or Saturday 8th April 💕

🐣As always with bouquets made up for advertising, this particular one is available for the discounted price of £25 for anyone who wants to collect it today. No word of a lie, I won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t go - I’m sorely tempted to keep it for myself 😂

I did promise a wee post for the poor purples 😂💜
I would say 98% opted for the pinks.
To all the wonderful Mums out there, I hope you have a fabulous Mother’s Day.
Massive thank you once again to all who placed an order ♥️
I’m spending the day with my 2 gorgeous girls, so all messages will be replied to tomorrow 🥰

And we’re off! The madness of Mother’s Day cupcakes has begun. Not necessarily the St Patrick’s say I would be used to 😂 but I’m eternally grateful that I get to make these cupcakes for you all 🥰

Taking an hour or 2 off this afternoon to take my girls to the parade & fair, then right back to it ☺️

Have a fabulous Friday everyone ☘️♥️

Prep for next weekend is well & truly under way 🫣
There have been a few enquiries about an Easter bouquet, but I’ll definitely be taking a few (well earned) days off after Mother’s Day, but I promise to post it the following week ♥️

Up before the birds this morning to make this gorgeous 24 cupcake bouquet in white, lilac & blush ♥️

Todays bouquet was a recreation. With varying tones of pinks & white, I remember making this the first time & how much I loved it ….still do 🥰🥰

💜💗 I knew the slots would fill up quickly, but I’m in shock at just how quickly!🫣😂
Saturday 18th is fully booked & I only have space for 2 more collections on Friday 17th!
Thank you all so much for your orders. It’s time to get forward prepping & planning as much as possible 💗💜

Both boquets still available - £20 per bouquet; if anyone would like either of them ♥️

So here we have (finally) the 2 options for Mother’s Day 🥰

Option 1: Shades of pink & white
Option 2: Shades of purple & white

The roses in option 2 are a very pale shade of purple;I think I’ll do them a little darker for Mother’s Day, but it’s worth noting that shades may differ slightly anyway.

The slots for Saturday 18th are very nearly gone already! So please message early to book yours - £30 per bouquet.

As these 2 were made up for advertising purposes, they are available to buy for the discounted price of £25 each but would need collected this evening/tomorrow 🥰🥰

A previous customer tagged me in photos from her wedding last year at the gorgeous
19 cupcake bouquet with matching sponge - the focal colour was a deep “Cadbury” purple.
I loved making this for their special day ♥️♥️♥️

This photo was sent to me by one of my amazing customers. Their Valentines bouquet all laid out on a stand. How cute is this?! ♥️
