CRAFTY CONFECTIONS Crafty Confections is run by "sugar…read moreartist" Kelly Cope. "I love the challenge of designing each cake, creating something unique, that will truly be a centrepiece and quite simply, make people say Wow! It is very important to me that the cakes not only look good, but that they also taste amazing. I often get told by people, they can't believe they actually taste even better than they look!" The hype can be taken with a grain of salt but the proof is in the eating and I certainly enjoyed a couple of examples of her cups cakes recently. You'd have to say they are excellent. But they are not a big as most cup cakes. They are an intermediate size between the big and the mini and still cost €2.00 each. Once noticeable advantage though is that the toppings are made from Italian Meringue Buttercream, "a smooth, creamy and not too sweet filling, far superior to 'traditional' butter icing, in both taste and texture. Try it, you'll love it!" I did try it and I agree! Crafty make all kinds of cakes including wedding, birthday, christening and corporate. Midleton 087 2280613 http://www.craftyconfections.net

I've also had some of Crafty Confections cupcakes. Absolutely delicious; the buttercream really is…read moredifferent to normal buttercream and is amazing... like a mousse. It's very more-ish!! Have to disagree with the reviewer and say that the cupcakes are a good size - certainly wouldn't want them any bigger ('cause then I'd have to share!!!!) And to top it all, Kelly was really friendly and helpful. I had a chance to look through Kelly's photos of cakes she's made - not just cupcakes but birthday cakes and wedding cakes, etc... WOW! I'm definitely looking forward to getting some more cakes from Crafty Confections.
