Cake International

Wow, its been a while since I last posted.  I will be better in future, I promise.
Earlier this month I went to Cake International in Birmingham.  This was my first year here and I loved.  To me it's like being in Cake heaven.  Anything and everything to do with cake.  I also met up with some fellow cake makers through Twitter which was nice.


There were also various competitions under various categories.  I was so impressed by the standard, that it has given me added motivation in terms of improving my technique.  Below are some pics...

Event Review: Can't Buy Me Love Vintage Market 30th October




This was my first time at this market.  I was a last minute addition as the regular cake seller was unable to make it.  I was contacted by Jet Payne, the organiser of this monthly market to see if I was able to step in.  And step in I did.  As this was a Halloween market, I decided to do a special Halloween Orange Cake..



This was the first cake to sell out!! People seemed to like the whole Halloweeney (is that at word) aspect of it.  In addition I had Lime and Coconut, Banana, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Marble Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream and I also did Butterscotch Cookies..


Another best seller, sold out of these as well.


This was the best market I have done so far.  Lovely crowd, lovely stall holders, not lovely weather, but this didn't stop the public coming out!!
