Bakewell Tarts

Who can resist a Bakewell Tart? I know I can't. When we visited local businesses with our delectable delights these Tarts are the first to be sold out. And so it seems they are very popular with the male clientelle! So ladies, if your husband has a sweet tooth why not buy some of our  Bakewell Tarts Or alternatively, you could contact us at enquiries@butterflypie.co.uk and we will make them for you : ) 

A Bakewell Tart Secret for you...

Add some Patisserie Cream to your frangipan mix to get that extra smoothness and moist texture to your sponge!

But dont tell anyone I told you that.

There are various ways you can present your Bakewell Tarts. If you feel you want your tarts to look different to ours then a here are a couple of images for inspiration...

Halloween Shortbread Cookies

Not your typical halloween cookies. These pumpkins and bats were made for a halloween themed baby shower! These shortbread cookies are extra creamy thanks to all that lovely butter and vanilla essence. A bit naughty yes, but its worth it!

These biscuits are not just for All-Hallows Eve.

We can provide Gothic style cakes, cookies and biscuits all year round... for those of you who walk on the dark side...

A spooky time was had by all

New Business Cards

We are very pleased to announce that our new business cards have been designed and printed.

Standard size business card. Designed by Sarah Wearn

Front of mini card printed by Moo. 

Reverse of mini card.

The mini cards are perfect for using as hanging tags on our packaging.

We are massive Moo fans and definitely recommend using them if you are looking to get business cards, postcards and labels printed. Every print you get can be different from the next, so its great if you want to show off a portfolio of work. An example of this is shown below.

A big thank you to Sarah Wearn, who designed our lovely business cards. She is very talented and professional! We highly recommend her.

Coffee and Walnut Cake

Coffee & Walnut Cake

Being my Dads favourite sweet treat of all time I thought I better do a post on it and even maybe give away my hidden recipe that he has always wanted to get his hands on....

All you need is love..... and a few other ingredients, which are;

3 eggs

200g butter

200g sugar

275g SR flour

vanilla pod

2 shots of espresso coffee

To make the sponge:

Cream together butter and sugar until very smooth.

Slowly add the eggs one at a time and not too quickly. (other wise the mixture will split)

The after the coffee has cooled down mix that into the mixture along with the vanilla.

Now all you need to add is the flour, so gently fold that in.

Put in a big (or small) tin and bake until light and fluffy!!

For the butter icing, just mixtogether butter ans icing sugar along with a bit more coffee  (to give it the darker colour) and get creative!!!

Enjoy.....   love Kirsty x

In the beginning...

First of all welcome to our first blog.

We guess I'll start by telling you a little about us and how Butterfly Pie was formed. We are a family run business with the same passion for cooking, baking and creativity.

I myself am a Pastry Chef, as is my mother-in-law and together we are the main drivers of the business. We are also very fortunate to have two Head Chefs (my husband & my brother in-law) as part of the Butterfly team!

We thought we'd would kick things off with showing you a few delicious and very naughty, double chocolate cupcakes. We particularly like the sprinkling of butterflies.

We were particularly happy with this set of cupcakes. The feed back from our customers were that these were the most moist and moorish cupcakes they had ever eaten!

We appreciate any feed back on the presentation of our cupcakes.
