Super Slutty Cupcakes for the Discretely Deviant
What inspired you to do rude baking?
I love to bake and Brighton is full of pervs! I spied a gap in the market of the adult-cake world and decided to fully embrace it. I’m loving it and my mum is deeply conflicted.
Tell us your baking history…
Since our school-kid lunch-box days, I’ve never really stopped baking, including making 400 muffins daily in my café in New Zealand, then moving to the Indian Himalayas to make cakes in Darjeeling for five years (not pervy ones). My goal was to teach young women how to bake so they could make their own livelihoods, and it was the most bonkers experience of my life. (My first book is coming out this year, hopefully!) So, after making more than a million cakes in my lifetime, I now feel truly qualified to make a million more and this time stick fannies on them.
Who are your customers?
When I began, I thought erotic cupcakes would appeal to hen dos and Pride, but so far, I’ve also made Slutcakes for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, stag dos, engagements, escape rooms, divorce parties, baby showers (seriously), munches, anniversaries, weddings, Halloween (aka Halloweiners) and old people (they’re the biggest pervs by far!) It’s a real circle-of-life situation.
What are your bestsellers?
Definitely the ‘Dirty Dozen’ Slutcakes – a combo of berry, lemon and chocolate willies, fannies and boobies. Very diverse. Very Brighton. People are loving my willy wooden spoons too!
How does it work?
I bake to order in batches of 6 or 12. Give me a few days’ notice and then come and collect them.
Tell us three things you love about Brighton…
The people! You really are a friendly bunch. It can be lonely setting up a new business, so the smiley faces and warm embraces of people who care really matter. The cafés – there’s nothing better than sinking deep into a prime people-watching position with a properly crafted flat white, pen and paper. The acceptance – I adore the openness here.
