Indulging London's sweet tooth, Fru Fru specializes in delivering homemade cupcakes. The freshly baked chocolate and vanilla cupcakes are decorated with butterflies, daisies and stars, and packaged in black boxes tied with fuchsia ribbons. As Fru Fru says: "We all love to be sent beautiful bouquets of flowers, but just occasionally it would be great to send and receive something a bit different."
Gift boxes are priced between GBP 25 for a box of 9 cupcakes and GBP 55 for a box of 30. Delivery is free to London postal codes SW11, SW4 and SW12; a delivery charge is added for other parts of London.
Given enough attention to taste and detail, this is a relatively easy business to get started, especially in other non-U.S. cities that haven't yet succumbed to the saccharine glory of cupcakes. Needless to say, special editions for Valentine's and Mother's Day are sure to be a hit. One thing we would add, is an easy online ordering process. Fru Fru's customers currently have to call to place an order.
