Plenty to Celebrate

Raspberries and passion fruit share a wonderful acidity, which makes them perfect for swirling through sweet fondant icing. So that’s just what we’ve done for you! Pick up a pack or two of our new Fiona Cairns fruity cupcakes, with their distinctive marbled design, next time you do a Waitrose shop, and savour the best fruits of the season.

We love a late-summer wedding too, here at Fiona Cairns; somehow they seem more relaxed than their June and July counterparts. If your big day is looming, order one of our stunning wedding cakes from Waitrose Entertaining. The first tiered wedding cake is said to have been made for Queen Victoria’s daughter in 1858 and, though ours are tiered, they are undecorated, ready for you to add those final touches to weave perfectly into your theme. Let us do the planning for you!

And here’s another weight we can take off your load. We know it’s too early to mention the C word, but… CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Believe it or not, our beautiful cakes are already baked, squirrelled away and maturing in the bakery, silently developing their full flavours to make them rounded, rich and extra special. We’re taking orders from our independent customers, and it’s quite satisfying to get that ticked off your to-do list even before you have shaken off the sand between your toes!

Any keen gardener might still be dealing with the tail-end of summer’s courgette glut in the UK. If you’re tiring of soup and salad, level-up to Fiona’s amazing courgette cake. If it avoids waste, we’re all for it: at the bakery, our food waste is processed into animal feed.
