What
is your company name?
POPtastic Cakes
What
is your line of business?
Novelty cakes and cake pop favours for
parties and weddings
How
and why the company begin?
The
company began in 2011 to satisfy my passion for making cake pops and novelty cakes.
Why
do brides come to you?
I'm often
recommended to them by previous satisfied customers. I've built a reputation
for good quality products and a friendly, helpful service.
What
is your favourite design and why?
I love the brides and grooms I make. They're
so fun. But my favourite design is the mini wedding cake pop. I created this
design myself and use it for my logo. It sums up what POPtastic Cakes is all
about – yummy cakes on a stick suitable for wedding favours.
What
is the most popular item you supply and why?
Each bride
I have worked with has chosen a design unique to her theme but for weddings the
most popular favours are the brides & grooms, mini wedding cakes hand piped
designs and champagne flutes
Where
do you get your inspiration from?
A lot of
people out there are making cake pops. Some of them inspire me to try new
designs. Also, my customers request different things to be made into cake pops
and I do my best to make them
work. Thankfully I've been pretty successful so far.
What
is in store for you in 2014?
I have some great ideas for new product lines
that will encourage more people to try my cake pops. These are new designs and
new flavours. I've also made links with the Thistle Aberdeen hotels to supply
them with cake pops for their functions. I'm hoping to build on this with other
Aberdeen hotels.
Who
would be your dream client, and what sort of design would you envisage for
them?
I recently
supplied a lovely couple, Lorraine & Shaun, with 12 dozen cake pops in a
variety of designs. They were displayed
together on a huge stand loaned to me by fellow cake popper Laura Lane and on top of the display I
had a plain iced cake with a bride and groom cake pop standing on it.
That was an amazing commission and I'd love
more like that. As to the individual and the designs I'm not sure but I loved making
the Vegas signs that Lorraine and Shaun requested to represent their wedding in
Las Vegas.
That was fun!
What
would be your top tips for brides when searching for a supplier in your
industry?
Ask if they bake the cakes themselves and
request samples. Ask friends to recommend someone who has baked for them. Look for someone who
is booked up well in advance and can boast repeat customers.
Where
are you based and where can you supply?
I am based
in west end Aberdeen. I can supply in and around Aberdeen and will travel
further afield if required. My
cake pops travel well though and I have posted some for a wedding reception
sweet buffet.
How
can I get in touch to discuss my requirements or place an order?
