They have thanked the community for rallying around them after selling out

Husband and wife duo Jennie and Keith Wilson, who run Cupcake Time, were the only stallholders to turn up at Crookes Market in Sheffield after it was snowed off. But that didn't stop them selling out in just three hours.Jennie, who started the business with her husband about 12 years ago, said: “Families were out sledging and people were buying their Christmas trees from the fruit and veg shop so thankfully there was quite a bit of passing trade.

“If we hadn’t been able to sell the cupcakes, having already baked them, it would have been a huge loss for us, especially with the price of the ingredients being so high these days. But thankfully there’s a fabulous community in Crookes and we were thrilled to bits by the way people there came out to support us.
