About 2 weeks ago Tina Dolder of Toast Your Event, an events organiser who arranges parties, weddings etc and who has many famous clients including Alan Shearer, contacted us as she wanted a unique and novel way to invite her client’s friends to a Baby Shower at The Ivy restaurant in London.
We spent a good few hours on the phone to each other, most of the time with me clamping my mobile to my ear with my shoulder, whilst playing around with packaging, ribbons etc. We talked through the possibilities and I emailed her mock ups of what we could do. We confirmed the contract and I then had exactly a week to organise, bake, decorate and package 28 boxes of cupcakes with invitations attached.
Although we had, the week before, launched our national cupcake delivery, we had to use entirely different shipping boxes etc for this order, sourcing the various display and shipping boxes was a challenge but we met it and all 28 boxes left at 9am on Monday to travel to all parts of the UK. I sent Tina pictures of the cupcakes and display packaging and was thrilled to receive the following email from her;
Hi GillThey look amazing. I love them …..THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!Can’t wait to hear what ….. and ……. think.Let you know tomorrow.Take careTina xxxxx
But, yesterday was an anxious day as I knew all of the boxes would be delivered by 1pm so my nails were bitten to the quick as I avidly pressed refresh on my email account….. My imagination was fired up with pictures of sad boxes of my lovely cupcakes but no worries because this is the email I received from Tina;
Just spoke to …… and she said her phone never stopped all day from all the guests just saying how amazing the invites were . She was absolutely stunned and loved them. S…….. screamed with joy she was so excited.Thank you thank you thank you.You should be proud as punch .Take careWell doneT xxxxxxxxx
So I will now be adding a wonderful new product to our online shop and you too can have unique, unusual invites too whether you want to invite people to a Baby Shower as in this case or you want an unusual Wedding or Engagement invitation.

Well done Gill! What a way to start off the UK nationwide delivery of cupcakes to your door. 28 boxes of cupcakes delivered as invites for a baby shower at none other than The Ivy in London. And everyone who received them said how much they loved them. You can’t get better than that!
