Hello!

I just wanted to say, I delivered to the most beautiful venue last week. Rivervale Barn in Yateley Hampshire. A fantastic oak framed barn surrounded by the prettiest of gardens. If you are looking for somewhere to get married then do check it out, it's stunning!

It's not often I blog twice in one week, but sadly on Thursday the 18th we lost one of the team. My favourite chicken 'Florence' died. :( She'd been looking a little sad for a few days and despite a trip to the vet, decided to leave us. My lovely neighbour Eddie, who used to feed my girls from time to time, wrote this lovely dittie as a send off, it made me smile!

                         Gone! Can't be, it was so quick                          

The sad demise of Flo' the chick'

Pecking around with a Cluckedy Cluck,

Sadly now just one dead duck!

Well, not a duck....but similar to....

One thing's for sure, we'll all miss you......

                         Bye Bye Florence xxxxx

Hello all!

Remember that gorgeous book I told you about in my last blog, well the photographer is a lovely chap called Marc Wilson. He took some beautiful pictures of my work on the day and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to take beautiful pictures of your Wedding Day! Check out his work at http://www.unionphotography.co.uk

Hello!

I had such a beautiful day last week. The sun shined as I drove from London to Bath to take part in a photoshoot for a gorgeously styled book all about how to create your dream wedding. The book will be full of exciting new trends, with organic and eco options. As well as a few of our beautiful cakes!! 

The book will be published in November. Watch this space and I'll fill you in a bit more at a later date. It's going to make a lovely engagement gift or coffee table book.

Eggtastic......not that I want to go on about how wonderfull my girls are (the chickens)

But occasionally the odd egg escapes the cake and ends up on my plate. But have you ever seen an egg as yellow as this one?? I was compelled to photograph it.

Hi!

Well I promised you a look at my twist on an apple cake! Recently made for a family of famous cider makers, don't ever think that your Wedding cake has to look traditional. Use it as a means to express who you are as a couple. I love it when clients ask me to create something 'A little different'.....be creative.This cake even had the odd beetle and windfall creepy crawlie! 

I'd just like to wish all my lovely clients a 'Happy Easter', I hope you all had a lovely long weekend doing fun things. I have to say, I had the most relaxing and work free weekend. It mostly consisted of gardening and eating chocolate.....but that's what Easters all about.

Today I am finishing off a rather beautiful Wedding cake for a family of cider makers. It's not traditional by any means, so if you'd like to see the finished result keep your eyes peeled and I'll post a picture soon!

So to my first post. For all those animal lovers out there you will smile, for those who prefer chickens in a kebab, then stop reading.

I love my girls, the girls being my friendly egg laying team. Loved by me so they lay yummy eggs to make my cakes. The baking days are so busy now, they need to up the production or I will threaten them with the 'Kebab' word.

Today they all escaped, I think they had it planned for days.....a little adventure into several of the neighbours gardens, everything looks so much more exciting over there! Thankfully I have learnt that a mixture of porridge and couscous works a treat. I still had to climb several fences to bring them home under my arm. Glad it wasn't raining.

Bad Bad Girls

Ok, so this whole blogging thing is all a little new to me. I've been a technophobe most of my life, so anyone that knows me will be most impressed that I have discovered the art of social networking.

I've always been good at mastering anything involving creativity.....so long as it does not involve a computer!

So here's to my new blog page, if you want to know what I've been up to in the world of cake, then this is where to look.
