If you’re looking for some last minute Christmas presents this weekend why not pop along to SF Gallery, 69b & 69c Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3AA and buy something lovely and unique.

The gallery has a variety of jewellery, paintings, ceramics, handmade cards and much more.

SF Gallery is stocking my penguin, ladybird and cupcake money boxes, as well as my apple and pear ornaments.

Head away from the high street and check it out!

Gift aid: the best alternative Christmas shopping in the UK

The Cupcake Lady’s cupcake money boxes were featured in an article by the Guardian newspaper reviewing unique, not on the high street Christmas presents.

Coburg Studios, Edinburgh

The artists’ studio and gallery in a converted granary in Leith provides working space for more than 70 artists producing everything from mosaics to fine art. The gallery will be open on weekends in December, giving shoppers the chance to buy one-off pieces. Pick up a quirky cupcake money box from ceramicist Sandra Ogg, funky resin cufflinks and bangles from Kaz Robertson, and gorgeous gift wrap and printed tea towels from papercut and textile designer Emily Hogarth.  The gallery will be open on 10, 11, 17 and 18 December.

The Cupcake Lady received a request all the way from Canada to make a ceramic chocolate chip cookie (with a bite taken out) to be placed into a time capsule.

After a bit of a delay in transit the cookie arrived safe and sound this morning, ready to go into the time capsule on Saturday.

It’s great to receive such an unusual request, from so far afield!

I’m waiting for photos of the other items going into the time capsule for a blog update.

If you would like something a little different, that you haven’t seen on the website, just contact The Cupcake Lady for a commission.

I helped my nephews Joseph and Christian decorate this wonderful Gingerbread House, made by my sister.

Loads of fun with the lovely smell of ginger throughout the house.
