Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mums, grandmothers, and mother figures 💐

I had such a lovely time hosting our Mother’s Day Craft & High Tea celebration with our scouts group this week. From delicate sandwiches and handmade desserts (all lovingly made in-house) to our relaxing bath salt activity with essential oils that smelled absolutely divine, it was such a special day filled with creativity, laughter, and sweet moments together ✨

A very special thank you to the amazing mums who helped throughout the day — your support, kindness, and extra helping hands made everything run so smoothly, and I’m incredibly grateful for you all 💕

To everyone who joined us, thank you for making the day so memorable. We hope you felt celebrated, spoiled, and appreciated — because you truly deserve it 💖

We’d love to hear about your Mother’s Day too! Share your favourite moments or highlights from the weekend in the comments below ✨

My last bakes for the year🎄🍰

From pavlovas and Christmas cookies, to a creamy Basque burnt cheesecake and some DIY cupcake fun with a tiny baker who loved every minute 🧁✨

Baking is my therapy, my creative escape after busy days and long weeks of work. Sharing what I bake with the people I love and seeing the joy it brings is what it’s always about 🤍

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe, festive holiday season filled with love, laughter, and good food 🤍

Here’s to more fun bakes and happy moments ahead ✨

The brief I received was a stiletto on top of a corset cake for a burlesque dancer. Vanilla with baklava filling. After a few emails I was able to find out that these shoes were gifted as a Christmas present. So I decided to personalise the cake with her shoe and her corset. It was a number of firsts for me. First time making a shoe topper, first time making my own glitter, first time making my own lace, first time making baklava filling. After weeks of creating the cake in my head, it came together nicely. Happy 50th Birthday Suzanne. I hope the night brought you as much fun and joy as it did for me making the cake.
