Hello everyone. Just a quickie to let you know that we are taking cupcake orders for Mother’s Day.
A box of six is £15.
Pop us a message if you would like to order one.
I know I said that I would post more often but really it’s all your fault that I haven’t. We’re just been really, really busy. Thank you all for that and for recommending us to others. We’ve had so many new customers lately who have said that we’ve been suggested to them.
So a very heartfelt, “Thank you”.
Now I’m off for a day so I leave the shop in Amy’s capable hands.
See you on Wednesday.

Hello everyone. As it’s Valentine’s Day on Saturday I thought I’d better do a post.
We haven’t celebrated it ourselves for years as it’s my daughter’s birthday so I do tend to forget about it.
We are offering:
A box of 6 vanilla or red velvet cupcakes which are £15 or a box of profiteroles and strawberries for £12.50.
Drop us a message if you’d like to book anything. Pick up is between 11 and 1 on Saturday. Thanks.

Good morning everyone. I hope you’ve all recovered from Christmas and the New Year. It’s certainly been a damp and depressing January hasn’t it?
We’re all back from various holidays and breaks and are raring to go!
Honestly!!
Amy has been baking up a storm. We’ve had egg custard on the menu sporadically for quite some time but now it’s just flying out so it’s become one of our staples. I must say that after a “quality control test” (heehee) I can say with authority that “it’s bloomin’ lovely”.
I know that a lot of shops try different things to sell. Amy loves having a go at new cakes. She’s rather good at it, I must say!! But we do tend to stay with the classics. They are classic for a reason. They remain popular because they WORK.
We tend to stay away from faddy trends. We’re lucky enough that we don’t need to. If Amy fancies having a go at something new then we all benefit- all the girls try it- just to make sure it’s good, of course lol!!
We have too many cakes and bakes to list but because I haven’t posted for a while (bad girl!) I shall have a go.

Brace yourself:

Red Velvet
Victoria Sponge
Jam & Coconut
Lemon Roulade
Biscoff Roulade

Wait for it….

Biscoff Eclair
Coffee Puff

And there’s more…… ( I’m really bored now!!)

Hello everyone. It’s been awhile since my last post. I’m very thankful to say that we’ve just been too busy.
I thought I’d touch base with you all to let you know our Christmas opening hours.
We are open as usual Monday and Tuesday. Christmas Eve we are open 9-12 for order pick ups and for whatever is left to sell.
We are then closed until Tuesday 6th January. The girls (who are all fantastic) are going to open up for me as I’ll be visiting my sister in Australia until the end of the week.
Yes, that’s right, me and the family are going to spend Christmas in Oz!!!
Still can’t quite believe it…..
I really must start packing……
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Have a thought if you can, for those who are not as lucky as most of us are at this of time of year.
Christmas can bring out the best and worst of us.
Try not to stress out too much.
It’s only a couple of days and the in-laws will go home eventually.
Once again, I would like to thank you all for your continued custom this year. We have the BEST CUSTOMERS. You keep us busy all year round and me and the girls are more than grateful.
Have a fantastic few days and we’ll see you in the new year,
Well the girls will, as I’ll be sunning myself, drinking a glass of wine and throwing another snag on the barbie…..

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
