Hi!
For the people that don’t know me I am Dawn the founder and face behind DD’s Cupcakes. I’m 38 years old, a wife to a wonderful guy (he made me put that in), and mum to two energetic boys (well one energetic and one not so much). And when I’m not cooking, cleaning, and being a referee to the kids I run my full time business from home in Paignton, Devon.
Pre-children I had many years experience working in, and eventually running a kitchen and always preferred baking and desserts, it was something I really enjoyed especially the tasting part. After university came retail and management, then marriage and very quickly after my eldest! Being a full time mum was great but hubby & I always talked about running a business we just didn’t know what. The youngest member of the family arrived within 2 years, and life suddenly got a whole lot busier! I won’t bore you with the rest so fast forward 6 years to when DD’s Cupcakes was born.
The idea behind DD’s Cupcakes came about after helping out our builder at the time with some cupcakes for his wife’s 30th birthday. Baking those birthday cupcakes reignited the passion I once had for baking, and the light bulb moment happened! After a bit of research, a month later in May 2016 I took the plunge and started DD’s Cupcakes. What is now an award winning home baking business, specialising in bespoke cupcakes & cupcake bouquets.
Initially the plan was to run the business alongside my part time job, but due to the continual use of computer screens and ongoing health issues I had to give it up. DD’s Cupcakes was suddenly all I had and thankfully has grown from strength to strength. I may talk about cupcakes, dream about cupcakes, bore the kids, family and friends with cupcakes, but I love what I do. I am very lucky to be able to work from home doing something I am passionate about every day, and have a very supportive husband to thank for that (he made me add that too).
2016 was an exciting year for DD’s Cupcakes and I am extremely thankful for every single follower and customer. With 2017 off to a great start I am looking forward to more exciting times and new adventures in the year ahead.
So that’s a little insight into me and how DD’s Cupcakes came about. My aim for future blogs is to include pieces about my cupcakes, product reviews, what makes a good cupcake etc.

Слушай, я тебе такую историю расскажу. Ты же знаешь, я в этом году на море ездил, в Турцию? Так вот, приехали мы, все классно, отель шикарный, «ультра все включено». Но на второй день пошел просто проливной дождь. Не просто дождик, а такой, что потоп, как из ведра. Целый день сидишь в номере, телевизор смотришь, уже все сериалы пересмотрел. Дети ноют, жена скучает. В общем, настроение на нуле.
Мой сосед по шезлонгу, Вадим, мужик нормальный, накануне познакомились, тоже с семьей. Звонит мне и говорит: «Серег, чем заняться-то?» Я ему: «Да вот, в четырех стенах сохнем». А он смеется: «Давай в казино онлайн рубильнем, а то скучно». Я в жизни в такие вещи не играл, мне это всегда казалось сомнительным. Но тут,…
Let me tell you about my friend Mark - one of those guys who worked himself to exhaustion just to stay afloat. Between his day job at the warehouse and weekend shifts driving for Uber, he was putting in 80-hour weeks yet still barely making rent on his tiny apartment. His whole life changed because of something as simple as visiting the vavada casino официальный сайт one desperate night when he couldn't sleep.
Mark wasn't a gambler. The guy still used cash for everything and thought online banking was "too risky." But when his car needed $3,000 worth of repairs the same month his daughter needed braces, he found himself staring at his phone at 2 AM, searching for any…
