Most of the people I know find it hard to resist the temptation of sweet sticky confections, but some have the willpower to resist, at least some of the time. I am one of those people. Last Wednesday evening I walked into a kitchen in Knockbridge, half knowing my own will power would be challenged and I certainly didn't expect that I'd give in to temptation so easily. The sweet smell of melted chocolate along with a visual feast of colour assaulted me immediately and I simply gave in.
Launch
Annemarie McNamee was expecting around 50 invitees for the official launch of Sweetheart Bakes and I arrived early to capture some photographs of herself and her fayre before she and they, all disappeared.
"Baking was something I always enjoyed and growing up I loved to
bake with my Mum whenever I could so my love of baking came from her".
Annemarie worked in a pharmacy for almost 10 years before settling down and having twin girls and during that time found that baking has always helped to relax and relieve the tensions of everyday life. Always willing to try something new, Annemarie bought every new baking book that was printed and read it cover to cover, before trying her hand at the new recipes they contained.
"Family and friends enjoyed my baking and often suggested that I should try and make a living from it. So with my girls a little older now and at school, I had plenty of time to perfect my own ideas and recipes and I took my first steps at setting up my own business in home baking - so "SWEETHEARTBAKES" was born! Having a passion for baking makes it all so enjoyable".
Specialities
Annemarie specialises in Cupcakes, rich Chocolate Brownies and chunky Rocky Road as well as mini Cup Cakes. Each of these are all personal favourites. A fresh batch are baked daily with the finest quality ingredients and are hand crafted every morning to ensure they are beautiful and delicious.

Occasion Confection
Whether it's a birthday or christening, it's always nice to celebrate a special occasion with a cake. Is there anybody who can resist a cake? A Chocolate Celebration cake could be the answer ! A rich chocolate cake with frosting surrounded with chocolate cigarellos and topped with fresh raspberries. Maybe a light vanilla cake with frosting with white chocolate cigarellos, perfect for a christening, communion or even a wedding.
Sweetheart Bakes can take care of the sweet treats for any upcoming party or event. Annemarie also has a
selection of cupcake and cake stands that also can hold 'cake pops' (cake dipped in chocolate on a stick) for you to display these
sweet treats to your guests, these can be colour co-ordinated to suit
your party theme.
Certainly the display of colour and taste that greeted the guests at the Sweetheart Bakes launch during the week was impressive. As well as the displays, there were sample trays of bite sized treats that didn't last too long.
