So myself (Katie Rawcliffe), Matthew Johnson (Head chef at The Villa, Wrea Green), Julie Oddie (Slattery's Manchester, Chocolate and baking tutor) and
Major Marc Steventon, representative of ABF The Soldiers' Charity and Major at Fulwood Barracks - all had the fantastic job of taste testing the cupcake entries!

All money raised by the sale of the cupcakes at lunch time went to the ABF The Soldiers Charity - raising over £300 on the day!

The competition was high and we had to choose our 4 winners (above) -
with "The Little House of Cupcakes" awarding the Best Decorated cupcake!

Above - "Best tasting" went to Karen Irvine and Ruth & Sam

above - Rachael Ince who won Best Decorated Cupcake and her gluten free won the Charity Favourite also.

Tucked away in Thornton, we’re a busy little cupcake shop with a vacancy for a Saturday sales assistant.

Primary responsibilities are customer focused, with this role being front of house at all times. This will include ensuring the shop area is presentable, serving cupcakes and taking orders (both in person and by telephone). Experience in the service industry would be an advantage to help maintain our high standards of customer service.

Secondary responsibilities are crucial and involve supporting the background team in their roles. These include, but are not limited to:

Opening the shop
Maintaining a clean working area
Making decorations
Decorating cakes

No baking is required of this role.

And finally, we run children’s decorating parties throughout the week and would like this role to include the preparation and hosting of these parties. These parties are aimed at 6-11 year olds and are held at the parent’s house or a public venue. Please see the website for full information about the parties.

To apply, simply put together a letter telling us why you are suited to the position and a little about yourself, previous work, general background, etc. Drop your application in at the shop or email katie@thelittlehouseofcupcakes.co.uk.
The hours required are 9.30am – 4pm every Saturday, plus additional days for children’s parties.
