This morning, Jenny Colgan shares Issy’s must haves for the kitchen. Be sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to win a digital copy of Christmas at the Cupcake Café!
Issy’s Top 5 must haves:
*A good mixer. Kenwood, the British brand is the best: they also come in gorgeous colours!
*a cooling rack. You need to get air under your cakes to finish baking them properly when they’re out the oven!
*a measuring jug. Sometimes you don’t even need to get the scales out if you can approximate from the jug and it’s an easy cake!
* a skewer to poke in and see if your cake is done
* springform cake tins. These are the ones with the bottoms that come out. If you’re clumsy like me, they’re a godsend!

Issy Randall, proud owner of The Cupcake Cafe, is in love and couldn’t be happier. Her new business is thriving and she is surrounded by close friends, even if her cupcake colleagues Pearl and Caroline don’t seem quite as upbeat about the upcoming season of snow and merriment. But when her boyfriend Austin is scouted for a possible move to New York, Issy is forced to face up to the prospect of a long-distance romance. And when the Christmas rush at the cafe – with its increased demand for her delectable creations – begins to take its toll, Issy has to decide what she holds most dear.
This December, Issy will have to rely on all her reserves of courage, good nature and cinnamon, to make sure everyone has a merry Christmas, one way or another. . .
Indulge yourself and your sweet-toothed friends with Jenny Colgan’s new novel, simply bursting with Christmas cupcake recipes and seasonal sugar-fuelled fun.
