The Lo Down - Davy Cakes

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Even though I'm on my weightloss journey I still can appreciate a nice cake now and again. My Aunty's friend Johanna set up her cake company, Davy Cakes a couple of years ago and boy are they amazing. It was hard for me not to eat all of these I gotta tell you but I left them for my family who enjoyed every last tiny morsel.

Johanna gave me four scrumptious cupcakes to review and they got five gold stars from my family especially my Dad who loves these alot. The cupcakes she gave me are lemon and chocolate & vanilla with Nutella frosting, don't they sound yummy.

Davy cakes is such a amazing little company, Johanna is doing such a super job, if you want to check out her Facebook page you can have a look here. Davy Cakes caters for every budget imaginable and every themed cake you could imagine, novelty, special occasion, novelty cakes etc. You can also choose whatever flavour you like so use your imagination.

Prices start at €10 for 4 cupcakes and they are beautifully wrapped as you can see in the picture above. The more cupcakes you buy the cheaper they are which is good to know. Johanna needs 3-4 days notice to do each order and collection is from Ballyboden in Dublin or if delivered locally it's free. If you are from further afield a arrangement will be made and it will incur a small fee which will be negotiated.

More Scrumptious Baking!

I blogged last weekend about our attempt at making these Double Choc Chip Muffins and this week I'm back with another yummy baking relating post. My nephew came over to stay for the weekend & of course we baked some cakes again. I think Sunday has become the official baking day in the McKenna household. I enjoy baking with my nephew it's such a nice start to Sunday plus with the weather being so horrible out later it's definitely something fun to do whilst stuck in doors.

This time around tried the Cadbury's Button Cake Mix. These look amazing on the box, so yummy! Included in the box was a cake mix, icing mix, a packet of white choc buttons and paper casings. We scrapped the latter as they were a bit on the small size, my Mom wanted to make bigger cupcakes. We used the step by step guide on the packaging which couldn't of been more straightforward. The buns took literally 12 minutes to make in the oven when they were done we left them to cool before putting a lot of icing on them. I'm surprised there was any white choc buttons left as they are Ryan's favourite and of course he took the page and devoured most of them. We managed to safe a few to finish off the cupcakes. The only thing that didn't go to plan was the icing. Something went terribly wrong there! Like it didn't look anything like the picture on the box, if anyone has tips or knows how we went wrong let me know.

I think we did a pretty good job if I do say so myself. I know we won't be opening a bakery anytime soon but these look nice nice to me. A lot of the family will be enjoying these after our Sunday dinner. I seriously enjoyed the break from working on my college assignment. This particular one has been extremely stressful for me. I can't wait to hand it in tomorrow and get it out of my hair for good.
