A wonderful week!

Taking a day off today after a busy week. First up, last Monday, I had my much anticipated kitchen inspection from Blaby District Council which went extremely well and I got top marks. Hoorah! Now my cake making business is all official and registered so I can expand my baking empire.... maybe!

It's official!

On Wednesday, I took my travelling tea party to Oadby for a surprise party for the member's of Kay's book club. They enjoyed fairy cakes, chocolate tiffin, flapjacks and scones with a variety of delicious teas and a good time was had by all!

Cheers, ladies!

Mary Queen of Cupcakes!

Yum, yum.....

A sunny autumnal Saturday saw my second tea party of the week, this time for my friends from Morsbags who gathered at Tori's beautiful 300 year old farmhouse in the lovely village of Newton Harcourt for an afternoon of crochet - with Lisa Pidgeon from Little Bird School of Stitchcraft - followed by afternoon tea from yours truly. On the menu this time, Victoria Sponge, Chocolate Fudge Cake, mini butterfly cakes and more scones. Another lovely day! Thanks everybody..... x

Ukes UK Festival 20.10.12

This is where I was yesterday - providing the ukulele players of Leicestershire (and some from further afield) with tea and cakes, alongside Sandra from Whetstone Pastures Farm who did all the lunches and scones with help from Karen. We had a busy but enjoyable day although I didn't get to play my ukulele.... In the evening, the fantastic Anything Goes Orchestra were live on stage and were fabulous.

Lots of ukes!

Vintage tea, cakes and ukulele - perfect!

Bite sized fairy cakes - yummy!

Jess's Vintage Baby Shower 15.9.12

What a great day! The surprise tea party for Jess was a huge success, well done to Debbie and friends for organising it. The weather was glorious, tea was sipped (as well as a few tipples!), cakes were eaten and great fun was had by all. One nice comment I overheard: "This is just perfect!" What a compliment!

Thanks to you all - hope you enjoyed it and all the best for the new arrival! xx

Also a massive thanks to Claire from The Rainbow Tree for making the super-cute sandwiches, taking lots of photos and being a great help!

Mini sandwiches, mini cakes.... Cute or what?

Getting organised....

I have spent most of today out in the sunshine in my garden, stocktaking my ever-growing collection of vintage china all ready for my new tea party business. I have a lot more than I thought! My addiction to buying cups, saucers, plates and cake stands means I now have over 80 plates, 70 cups and saucers, and many sugar bowls, milk jugs, sweet dishes, cake plates and much more.....

I also have my first proper booking.... Watch this space for more info!

Exciting news.....

Launching later this month!
