Happy Sprinkles Brand Collaboration
I have been fortunate enough since beginning Kerry’s Bouqcakes to work with some awesome companies and small businesses. A few months ago I was approached via Instagram from the lovely team over at Happy Sprinkles to see if I would be interested in joining them as a brand partner. For those of you who follow me on my social media channels will know I often jazz my cupcakes up with some sprinkles and so this seemed like a great collaboration.
I have my own bespoke discount code that I can share with you all so that you receive 10% off your sprinkle order. Simply use the code HAPPYKERRY10 at the checkout on either the Happy Sprinkles website or the Cake Decorating Company. Keep an eye on my social channels as I often do giveaways where you can win yourself some amazing sprinkle selection!!
I would love to see how you use Happy Sprinkles on your creations so please tag me in your photos and I will even share my favourites! If you are new to baking or wish to improve your piping skills to create a perfect canvas for some sprinkle love then why not learn with one of my online tutorials which are currently on SALE. My courses are available to purchase worldwide via my website www.kerrysbouqcakes.co.uk/tutorials and these are suitable for all skill levels. Any purchase of a course will gain you access to my private VIP Facebook group full of helpful hints, tips and support from myself and other students. You can pause and revisit the tutorials as much or as little as you need and watch and learn with me whilst I teach you how to create the perfect buttercream flower with an easy to follow step-by-step visual and audio guide.
All the best,
Kerry xo

Little Acts of Kindness
When I wrote my blog, a year ago, concentrating on mental health (link to 2019 Health blog) I had no idea what lay ahead of us. What an unexpected year we have had, with the pandemic and economic struggles resulting from it, even the strongest of people are feeling weary and fatigued.
But I want to celebrate the successes we have had this year rather than dwell on the difficulties.
When the world closed-down we were all looking for new outlets to fill our days. I am so pleased so many of you decided to follow my lead and start on a journey of buttercream piping to fill some of your time. I have been so impressed with all the cupcake flowers you have made. I look at the work produced and posted on my VIP Cake Community and feel such joy at the accomplishments. So proud of you all and what you have achieved and the kindnesses you have shown to others on their journey.

Online Tutorial Autumn SALE 2020
I’ve been inundated with messages and comments from followers both new and old saying how these last few months have given them some extra time to learn a new hobby or perfect their piping skills using my online tutorials.

I want to help my existing students in their floral journey and to encourage new students to start on their journey into buttercream flowers, I have decided to offer an Autumn SALE on my main online courses. This SALE is on for a limited amount of time and the tutorials include :

Kerry’s Bouqcakes features in Vogue Paris
Over the years that I have been running Kerry’s Bouqcakes, I have been incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to feature in various cake, craft, wedding and fashion magazines. I have written articles on my business or been interviewed in a Q&A style piece. It still feels so surreal when I see my work printed either in hard copy or posted online. I’m really a one-woman band and don’t have a huge team behind me like a lot of other cake businesses that get mentioned in magazines do. I mean don’t get me wrong I have my absolutely wonderful family around me encouraging me and helping out in various areas of the business. Luckily my Mum has good IT skills so I don’t have to worry about the website as she has that in hand along with my web host. My hubby helps me with making up cake boxes not to mention childcare. You will have heard me mention Chloe who is part-time but invaluable and does some of my Marketing and Admin. However, the daily management is all on my shoulders!

Talking to your children : Coronavirus #stopthespread
You will find that this is a slightly different blog from my norm but I felt I wanted to discuss this topic in some way or another. As I have already mentioned before across my social media channels, we are currently living in extremely difficult and unprecedented times, taking not only each day as it comes but each hour. Society is having to adapt like never before due to the coronavirus / Covid-19 pandemic, whether that be working from home rather than going in to the office every day, staying indoors when we’re used to going out and about, staying away from our loved family members and friends or trying our very best to home-school our little ones.

Kerry’s Bouqcakes 3rd Birthday SALE! Celebrate with us.
This week I’m celebrating my business birthday, three years since the beginning of Kerry’s Bouqcakes and to help celebrate this milestone I’ve added a flash SALE to my website! If you’d told me when I started this business that I’d have over 200,000 followers from around the world across my social media channels I don’t think I would have believed you! Then again, I definitely wouldn’t have believed if you’d told me that Kerry’s Bouqcakes would be celebrating its third year of business in the middle of a global pandemic, with me temporarily closing my order books.
