PRECIS...

My holiday feels like a distant memory now as it has been a busy week putting the finishing touches to a wedding order which is now safely on its way to New York. Having made the last silk rosette and hand stamped the last name it seems a real shame that this order is completed. It has been so nice to make something special like this, a keepsake, that you know is going to be a small part of making someone's wedding day special. But then that is the joy of handmade, it's that personal touch...

As it was a certain someone's birthday this week we made time to whip up a cake; the whole family is enjoying the sponge-icing-strawberries combo that came about from our jubilee-esque cake creation. On the plus side, the strawberries don't last long so you really do have to eat the cake in one sitting (without guilt, as it is far worse to waste food!).

Now the cake is finished and the wedding order posted it leaves today to finish off the last bits and pieces for tomorrows Designers / Makers market in Old Spitalfields where we have been informed a camera crew have been invited to film the stall holders...cue hysteria...

So with crimson faces and our Sunday best attire we hope to see you there!
