Over the years, The Angel Bakery has sold its cupcakes at many food festivals including large events such as the Cheltenham and the Bath food festivals. But there is one little festival that has a place in our heart and that is the Tetbury Food and Drink Festival.
Five years ago a very small group of enthusiastic, hard working (and unstoppable) ‘Tetbury-ites’ decided to create a local food festival. With little funding they managed to create an event that has gone from strength to strength, encompassing everything that is great about British food.
The week long festival takes in many aspects of food and food production. You can get an insight in to organic farming by taking a tour of the Duchy Home Farm or learn how to make cheese under the guidance of Melissa Raven of Woefuldane Dairy.
Various hotels and restaurants will also be putting on their own special menus for the event and officionados of the great British banger might be interested to know that The Close Hotel will be hosting the annual Gloucester Old Spot Sausage Appreciation Society Dinner – yumm!!
The week of feastivities culminates on the Sunday with a Producers Market where you will find over 40 local businesses selling their tasty products. During the day there will be demonstrations from celebrated chefs, writers and bakers including Xanthe Clay, Tom Herbert and others, including sausage making, butchery and bread making to name a few.
You’ll also find us there with our range of seasonal cupcakes, bakes and tarts. And we will be giving you the chance to bag yourself a FREE cupcake. Keep an eye on our cupcake link to find out how …..

Last weekend The Angel Bakery supplied some delightful little fairy cakes for a spring wedding at an amazing venue near Evesham in Worcestershire, Dumbleton Hall.
This wonderful location was chosen by the lovely Wendy and Grant who approached The Angel Bakery to create some wedding cakes for their special day. Dumbleton Hall is set amidst its own beautiful old estate grounds overlooking the Vale of Evesham and the Cotswolds. This old hall has a real grandeur about it, with it’s own lake and immaculately manicured grounds. The sun was out and even the spring lambs had arrived on cue for a wonderful, magical day!
Wendy and Grant chose daffodil yellow, ivory and pale lavender as their colourscheme, encapsulating the wonderful colours of spring. They decided to go with dainty fairy cakes in vanilla and top it off with one of our cute little vanilla layer cakes.
We hope you both had a wonderful day!
Best wishes

Time always flies and before we know it we are always behind with our blogging! So here is a brief update to keep you posted with what we have been doing here at The Angel Bakery.
No sooner had we turned the corner into 2011, than we were straight into an array of weddings and parties. We’ve supplied our tiers of cupcakes at venues across the Cotswolds including Cripps Barn, Barnsley House, The Great Tythe Barn and the Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-the-Marsh.
Our wedding diary is now fully booked for 2011 and we have some fantastic weddings lined up throughout the year so we will keep you posted.
We took a breather from the Cirencester Farmers Market in January, but we have now been back on our regular stall for the past couple of months.
Our cupcakes are as popular as ever and we have now introduced our new RetroBakes range.
RetroBakes is a range of old forgotten favourites including Maids of Honour, Congress Tarts, Muckymouth Tart and of course deliciously traditional Custard tarts. We will also be adding to the range as we go through the season with an elderflower Sambocade and a Strawberry & Verjuice tart.
We’ve got some exciting events lined up over the next few months, and we’ve been asked to provide a wedding cake for a very special event that is happening in April of this year. No, not THAT special event, but another royal celebration that is happening on the same day in our fabulous town of Tetbury! Keep an eye out for it in future blogs.
Cheers for now!

We’ve been very busy at The Angel Bakery and the past couple of months have been filled with lots of weddings, parties, food festivals and of course cupcakes!
Retro Cool….
We created a gorgeous tier of Black Forest cupcakes for Ailsa and Greg who held their wedding at the lovely Kingscote Barn. Ailsa and Greg wanted something a bit different and decided to go all out for the retro Black Forest theme.

Each cupcake was traditionally filled with kirsch soaked black cherries and topped with a kirsch frosting, rich dark chocolate and deliciously fresh, seasonal black cherries on their stems. The tier was topped off with a cute little Black Forest gateau. A large version was also made to take back home for all those who were unable to make it to the wedding!
Lovely in Lavender..
Another wedding creation was for Tamara and Matt who had their wedding at Cripps Barn near Bibury. They wanted to go for an array of flavours with Lemon, Rocky Road, Spiced Apple, Vanilla and Carrot as their chosen mix.

The colour scheme was a very pretty combination of lilacs, lavenders, purples and pistachios and their cupcake tier was topped off with a fun, giant cupcake.

With Cheltenham Food Festival now behind us it is time to take a breather and then crack on with more baking. Thank you to everyone who came up to the stand over the 3 days and we are flattered by all your wonderful comments about our cakes – thank you.
This was the 2nd year that we had attended the event and we were astounded back then at the response to our cupcakes and this year was no exception with many people remembering us from last year and making a beeline for our stand.
When we attended the Food Festival back in 2009 we created a display of cupcakes just for a bit of fun and the amount of photos and videos taken of it was staggering. So we thought we would do something similar this year and put our thinking caps on to decide what we could do.
Here at The Angel Bakery we are well known for our simple, sophisticated designs but on this occasion we decided to go all out for a bit of a wow factor and so we created a tower of ‘Bollywood’ cupcakes.
Shrinking violets these cakes definitely were not! Bold, brash and bling was the order of the day and it certainly had the desired effect with hundreds of photos taken over the duration of the festival and it attracted a lot of attention.
As well as our colourful creation on display we had our signature cupcake range on sale for those in ineed of a cake pick- me- up during the day.
We also launched a few new flavours at the festival including French Apricot, Chocolate Mint and fresh Raspberry and our ‘Whisper Campaign’ gained a lot of new followers. Well done to all those brave cupcake fans who put aside their inhibitions and managed to bag themselves a FREE cupcake in the process.
We met a lot of lovely fans and lots of new fans and at one point we were visited by a rather cute Cupcake Angel who judging by this photo was pondering which cupcake was going to take her fancy.
Thank you to everyone for your support especially the cupcake angels working behind the scenes (you know who you are) who made this possible.
You can catch us at Cirencester Farmers Market on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month. Check out our events page to see where we will be next.
