NEARLY READY...

... for the Spring fair tomorrow. Thankfully, we're the only stall doing food, so should have the cake market cornered!

Just got another celebration cake order. This time from our local grocer, David, who wants a cake for his Mum's birthday. Now I really value all my orders, especially repeat ones, of which I now have a few, but an order from David is indeed something special. Hopefully it will lead to many more!!

Looking at the diary I seem to have orders every week until late July. This is great. So far, they are all spaced out sufficiently to allow me time to get each one just right.

I confess to having a bit of a panic about the cake that is supposed to show a couple cycling, skiing, walking, gardening AND reading, but I think I may have come up with a solution. I'm going to make the cake in the shape of a photo album and will handpaint five scenes of the couple as photos. The cake can nestle on a bed of grass and flowers as well, which will satisfy the request to include some of my flowers.


Hope it works out as well as I imagine it!!!
