A day in the big city........

Well it's official I am a rubbish blogger - or maybe that's a bit harsh and I should say that I'm an uncommited one.
Crocus Cakes was finally launched to the sound of my Kenwood Chef on 1 September and since then I have been busy making cupcakes and other delights to inflict on the customers of the Inkpen and Woolton Hill Village Markets. Euan (who is nearly two) is mummy's favourite helper as every time I make something new he greets it with the words "wow - cake", if that's the only feedback I ever get then I will be a happy woman.
Today I had the joys of travelling up to the big smoke for a day learning how to make sugar orchids at Cakes 4 Fun in Putney. It meant a very early start, which as anyone who sees me running to the school gates in the morning will know, is not my forte. The day was a resounding success, with our lovely tutor Celia being very patient and encouraging and the girls in the class were all great. I managed to make a very cool cupcake topper and a spray of orchids - photo's to follow. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any time for shopping (Brian breathes a sigh of relief) but I did get a whole day of mummy time and tea was cooked for me when I got home!!!!
Anyway a rather boring post from me - but I do promise to put up some pictures (cakes & puppy), recipes and write something more often than every 2 months. I'm off for some cake and a cuppa.
"How long does getting thin take?" asked Pooh anxiously. "About a week I should think"......
