Look what arrived in my office at work...

Yum! This box of Fancie cupcakes arrived in the office today! We had a Victoria, a MintChoc, as well as a chocolate and raspberry one, a peanut butter one, a caramel one and ... I can't remember what the sixth one was.

For some reason I really fancied some mint choc flavour so I pounced on the bright green icing. The others were gone within seconds. The cake was delicious!! And I would highly recommend. They've won quite a few awards and I reckon those awards are pretty well deserved.

You can check them out at www.fancie.co.uk and they're also on Twitter and Facebook.

Why not send a chunk of cake through the post?

Imagine how excitedyou’d be seeing this coming through your letterbox… Imagine the look on thedelivery person’s face!

These genius slices of fake cake are actually postcards,designed to be sent through the mail! Made from polymers (I think), paintand card, these cakes look just like the real thing at first glance.

TangBaby over on Etsy sells thesepostcards for around £10-£12 with free delivery to the US (overseas would add adelivery charge). She started selling them in 2009 and they became so popularshe’s had to ration the fake cake goodness.

And what’s more,they’re also available in gold! (Definitely bonus points in my book.) What’snot to love?
