Owner, Miriam O’Neill says, “This year, our limited edition autumn flavour is the White Chocolate Apple Crumble Blonde Mudcake ‒ and it’s going down a treat ‒ and our exceptionally popular Mersea MudSticks (hot chocolate stirrers) are making a comeback with new flavours! We’ve decided on a decadent Chocolate Orange and for our sweeter-toothed clientele, we have White Chocolate Gingerbread. Both are incredibly scrumptious and make the perfect hot chocolate!” Mersea Mudcakes will soon be launching its Christmas Mersea Mudcake Ⓡ flavours which we’re sure will be a hit at festive weddings this winter. What’s more, there will be a new Christmas flavour for kids, Candy Cane Mudcake, which will be ideal for younger wedding guests! Looking ahead to 2022, the company is expecting another busy year for its luxurious wedding favour boxes filled with your choice of Mersea Mudcake Ⓡ , individually decorated and hand-tied with a pretty string bow.
