February makes
In a bid to stop myself being so lazy I am going to do a photo montage at the end of each month showing what I have made. I am busy with cakes orders at the moment but I really want to make sure there is a balance of cakes and other handmade items each...

Short Break
Well, my Acer Aspire One netbook is poorly sick 🙁 The charger is not working properly and when I switch it on it tells me the battery may be old or broken (I know how it feels!) As PC World were very unhelpful, we contacted Acer direct (also not an easy process!) who are arranging...
Black Forest Cupcakes
This is a sponsored post Last week I was lucky enough to receive this in the post from Green & Blacks and was overcome with excitement! The chocolate also came with a tasting guide, which I will go into in a separate post, but suffice to say it differs from my usual ‘open bar of...

It’s not too late to order your Valentine’s Day cupcakes and cookies! They are the ideal gift to show how much you care about someone, can be personalised and taste much better than flowers 🙂 A box of 6 cupcakes in a red gift box tied with ribbon and your personal message is £10 and...

Homemade Christmas – Part 3
As you’ve probably guessed, it’s my job to bring a Christmas Cake to the family gathering every year. This year I was a bit rushed as I had several orders to complete before we went away, but I found time to make some little penguins out of gumpaste and some sugarpaste Christmas trees covered in...
Homemade Christmas – Part 1
For the past few years I have tried to make as many things as I can at Christmas time. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, I love crafting and Christmas is a great time to try making lots of different things. Secondly, I like the fact that a lot of thought, effort and love...
Classes and tutorials
I mentioned in one of my previous posts about starting to think about running cake decorating classes in the new year, so I thought I’d get your views. Firstly, do you think they are a good idea? Would you/your friends/relatives etc be interested in attending a class? Secondly, what type of thing would you be...
Recipes
Over the past few months I have had a lot people leave comments on my blog asking me to send them my recipes, especially for the giant cupcake (even though the tin comes with a recipe). This has been a tough one for me. I don’t like to disappoint but this is my business, it’s...
