IF you want to wow your guests with unique favours or a wedding cake with a difference, speak to Claudia’s Cupcakes.

Set-up just over a year ago by entrepreneur Jane Hosking, and named after her daughter, Claudia’s Cupcakes specialises in fresh, beautiful individual cupcakes that lend themselves to every occasion, from christenings and birthday parties to weddings and hen nights.

Jane said: “I’d been making cupcakes as a hobby for family and friends for a long while and someone said why don’t you give it a go as a business. So I started with a market stall in Ipswich and did weddings and other occasions. I just love making them.”

Claudia’s Cupcakes can make cupcake platters, lots of tiers of cupcakes, favours and even placename cupcakes.

The cupcakes are made with fresh ingredients to a traditional American cupcake recipe, with all cupcakes being made on the day of the event.

Flavours range from plain vanilla to chocolate chip, carrot cake, peanut butter, lemon meringue, red velvet and strawberry. If you can think of a flavour or colour, Claudia’s Cupcakes can make it.

Jane favours the classic cupcake cream cheese frosting, which she says is very light and delicious, although other toppings are available including fondants and sugarpaste.

Claudia’s Cupcakes make all their own toppings and some  sugarcraft to decorate the finished cakes too.

To serve your cupcakes beautifully, Jane has a very large collection of stands, platters and vintage china available to hire.

Cupcakes start at £1.50 each and they can either be picked-up from Claudia’s Cupcakes’ Ipswich base or delivered for a small charge.

A £10 delivery, set-up and takeaway charge is charged for weddings.

Jane said: “I give a very personal service. I sit down with the brides before the wedding and talk about what they want, and the cupcakes are guaranteed fresh on the day – I love doing it.”
