The Happy Egg Co. Cake - Valentine Sweetheart

2014 is officially here which means our partnership with The Happy Egg Co. is coming to an end. We’ve made a selection of delicious cakes for them over the past year and experimented with lots of flavours, palettes and designs; our last cake certainly won’t be any different! Though the new year brings with it the beginning of winter, Valentine’s Day offers the opportunity to use otherwise ‘summery’ ingredients; strawberries and champagne! With this in mind we’re very excited to announce that our very last cake with The Happy Egg Co. incorporates some of life’s little luxuries; strawberries, white chocolates, and roses all tied together with a generous helping of champagne!

For this cake our colour palette is inspired by gorgeous bouquets of roses that traditionally find themselves delivered to loved ones on Valentine’s Day. The vibrant and soft pinks of roses combined with fresh greens and delicate creams lend themselves wonderfully to cakes and other sweet treats of the season!

The Happy Egg Co. Cake - Coffee, Caramel and Brown Sugar

September is quickly moving towards October which means wrapping up and keeping warm is a must! The thought of cool, crisp mornings and dark evenings have inspired this month’s recipe which is to be a coffee, caramel and brown sugar cake! The rich, nutty tones of coffee and the crunchy texture of brown sugar fits right in when we imagine the burnt oranges, yellows and reds of autumn.

Coffee, Carmel and Brown Sugar

The inviting scent of coffee beans we’ve had circulating through our studio reminds us of winter mornings when a warm drink is a great substitute for a lie in! Coffee cake is a classic and adding brown sugar to the mix will deepen the colour and enrich the flavour too!

Coffee, Carmel and Brown Sugar

Pairing a caramel buttercream with coffee and brown sugar adds another dimension and reminds us of fun, flavoursome hot drinks offered by coffee shops in winter. The recipe we have in mind would also work wonderfully with gingerbread or eggnog but we think a silky caramel buttercream would add a luxurious taste and texture without overpowering the coffee and brown sugar.

The Happy Egg Co Cake - Blueberry Season

As fresh blueberries ripen in the Juniper Cakery HQ garden what better way to enjoy the month of July than by including them in this month’s happy egg recipe! Everywhere you go you’ll see blueberries in drinks, yogurts, desserts and maybe even in your own garden too.

The tart taste of blueberry is perfect for a summer-themed cake recipe but the freshness they bring also makes them subtle enough to be paired with another flavour. The scent of fresh plants, trees and flowers have become a frequent enjoyment here at Juniper Cakery now that the warm, balmy weather is finally here; the most prominent of all being lavender!

Lavender and Blueberry by Juniper Cakery

Lavender would bring subtle tones of floral flavour to an otherwise all fruit recipe so our minds were soon made up; this month’s happy egg co. cake will be a white layer cake with blueberries and lavender baked in and filled with lashings of white chocolate buttercream! The natural, deep tones included in this month’s colour pallet are inspired by the blue and purple hues taken from the blueberries and lavender themselves.
