What an unforgettable day at the West End Village Show in Esher today!
I had a wonderful time on the Hersham Village Market stand selling our preserves, honey, bakes, and cheese crackers—the atmosphere was fantastic and despite the weather which changed every 10 minutes it flowed with people and dogs from start to finish.
To top off a brilliant day, I decided to enter the show’s cookery competition for the very first time. I am over the moon with how my bakes placed:
🥇 1st Place – Courgette and Lime Cake (Provided Recipe Section)
🥈 2nd Place – Sticky Ginger Bundt Cake topped with mascarpone frosting and pomegranate seeds (My Favorite Cake Section)
🏅 Highly Commended – Sun-Dried Tomato and Vintage Cheddar Loaf (Home-Baked Loaf Section)
I have to admit I was nervous submitting everything this morning, so coming away with prizes feels amazing, and I won the Suzanne Hood Bowl Cup
A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by our market stand today to buy some treats and offer encouragement. Your support means the world!
