A sweet (16) afternoon tea!

27 Oct 2012


It was my 16th birthday the other day, and my mum surprised me by getting my cousin, aunt and gran round and by setting out a wonderful afternoon tea "spread". When I came in the living room looked wonderful, with a set of fancy cups and saucers, scones, jam and a teapot to be filled with "Betty's tea room blend" tea. I must admit it was very fun, especially with the one man comedy show that is my cousin ( who is also scarily like sheldon cooper from the big bang theory at times). All in all it was a great birthday, and thank you to everyone who made it so great!

My wall of inspiration

Over the past few months, I have been been collecting various postcards and leaflets to stick onto my bedroom wall. After putting up what must be at least 50 of them, i thought that I would show my readers the results:

The Cake And Bake Show 2012


Cake lovers across the United Kingdom gathered on the 22nd September at the start of the 2 day Cake And Bake Show. Finding out about the show by chance when browsing through delicious magazine, I managed to book tickets for the event. It was full of people trying to pick up tips, equipment and decorations to make the best cakes.

There were many features of the event, including classrooms, in which you can learn new techniques, star speakers, including Eric Lanlard, Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, cupcake decorating stations, children's baking sessions, cake making competitions, not to mention the various stalls from which to buy the latest cake decorating products.
