Having a well earned rest today after a successful street fair sale yesterday at Milverton. I completely sold out by 2pm - hurrah! Am sure I could have sold more Chocolate Chocolate and Very Vanilla, but actually things quietened down around lunch time, so probably not a bad guesstimate of numbers. The day stayed fine although a bit chilly and blustery in the morning, so overall pretty busy. Was most excited to sell a box of 12 - pleased I got those new extra large boxes in!
Thanks to friends who popped by to say hello and bought cupcakes and for Miverton Hall for the loan of the table!

Milverton Street Fair
The kitschy kitchen is a hive of activity today in preparation for Monday's stall at the Milverton Street Fair. This will (hopefully) be my biggest sale so far, so I'm ready to bake with a mountain of butter, a crate of flour and sugar and more eggs than I've seen in one place outside a shop.
If you're interested in the Milverton Festival you could check out the particularly uninformative website www.milvertonfestival.org.uk but, frankly, I wouldn't bother! Just come along and see for yourself (and buy a cupcake).
Oh, and keep your fingers crossed for fair weather.

Cupcake accoutrements
Sadly, my wrist is giving me too much gip this week for there to be much activity in the kitschy kitchen, so I have been busying myself with preparations for my first ‘sale’.
Monday I got myself officially booked in for the next Wivey market – 20 March – where I will be putting my wares on display. At this point I realised I would actually have to display the cupcakes. What in? What on? Help! EBAY!
So, I am now the proud owner of this rather goth-cutesy cake stand (from the highly recommended lovetoplan25 if anyone is an obsessive ebayer ); I patiently await more kitsch in the form of a red and white polka dot stand and Allan is on the scrounge for some plastic trays for transporting from his chum at the greengrocers. I think we may be bartering trays for cupcakes….
I can’t think of anything else at the moment. I’ll have to sell 40 cupcakes to make enough profit to pay for the stand, so it’ll probably have to wait anyway!
