National Cupcake Week 13-17 September 2010

Last week was National Cupcake Week and Genuine Cakes were at one of our Corporate clients, Coutts in The Strand, on Thursday, 16 September. We took along a selection of cupcakes for sale and in the process managed to raise £100 for the Bank's chosen charity, Maggie’s Centre.

Genuine Cakes gets Digital

Genuine Cakes has stepped into the world of social networking with a brand new Facebook page and a fresh, new look Twitter page.

Social media has been a hot topic for some time now and we believe that sites such as Facebook and Twitter are an ideal way of keeping in touch with our customers, friends and suppliers. As well as this, these pages will allow us to share all of the latest Genuine Cakes news, views and announcements.

Please come and join us on Facebook and Twitter, and do say hello!
