Crikey time really does fly when you're having fun - or when you're extremely busy! Since my last post I have started to receive some great feedback on the cake pops. The 'tasting session' I mentioned in my last post went really well with an overwhelming positive reaction to my cake pops. My first postal trail has gone well with a full batch arriving at its destination and in one piece just this afternoon (posted yesterday afternoon) and with this great response:
'Hi Helen..just to let you know that my cake pop samples have JUST arrived safe and sound and I was so thrilled when I opened the box to see the little bears that I had to write and tell you about it before I have even had a bite!!! They are absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I've never seen anything like it before..think I may have a sneaky one before I get the boys from school. Can't wait to show everyone. xxx'
The little bears Cat mentions also marks me making good progress in starting to extend the designs of cake pops available. The next big step is for me to start getting these designs, with relevant price and ordering information finalised and online ready for trading to (hopefully) commence at the beginning of December. I am hoping to have the Christmas range online early next week (some really cute Christmas trees, Santa hats and Christmas pudding cake pops coming up!) and am working on some 'corporate' samples too. I anticipate that cake pop prices will start at £1.25 a pop for the standard range, up to £2.00/ £2.50 a pop for intricate or complicated designs. (This is just an indication and is subject to change!!)
I have thoroughly taste tested 3 flavours now and will begin by offering Vanilla Sponge and Buttercream, Red Velvet Sponge and Buttercream and Chocolate Sponge and Buttercream - all thoroughly delicious!
So lots more to do and lots of exciting things happening, and obviously, I will keep you posted as they do :)
