Heavenly Cake for Bands In Salisbury
The wall of fame is growing for Cupcake Heaven in Salisbury as Paul & Sandy Gregory cook for bands, This afternoon on a sunny day in May joining Joe Bonamassa, Joanne Shaw Taylor in the select group of musicians with a bespoke cake are South African Dan Patlansky and his Band and the mighty award-winning King King fronted by the swirly kilt clad Scotsman himself, Alan Nimmo.
Cupcake Heaven bake delicious cakes for residents and visitors every day. The café is on a pedestrian walk-through with the river flowing past this afternoon ducks, swans and moorhens watched on bemused as two bands descended on Cupcake Heaven.
The cakes were very special both iced and decorated to represent King King’s acclaimed album Reaching For The Light with a tartan ribbon. Once the cake had been admired and photographed it was time for the knife to cut through the icing to reveal chocolate sponge and chocolate buttercream. Yummy, a sweet delight that went perfectly with a cup of tea. With King King band members Alan Nimmo, Wayne Proctor, Bob Fridzema and Lindsay Coulson on a sugar rush they reluctantly left to do the sound check before the Friday Evening show at the City Hall.
The second cake, a delicious iced Victoria Sponge, bedecked with the eye-catching cover of Dan Patlansky’s latest album Introvertigo. The band from South Africa were delighted to tuck into such a delicious sweetness after the necessary photographing and formalities were taken care of. Then it was cake and tea rather than blues and guitars that dominated the conversation. Suitably refreshed on a sugar high they left to prepare to open for King King and to make sure that Cupcake Heaven and rock music are never far apart.
Cupcake Heaven, Salisbury’s bakers to Rock and Blues musicians. The demand is growing and soon could be on every band’s rider who visits Salisbury – ‘we want cake before we play the music live and loud’.
