Let Them Eat Cake

Last weekend I helped my friend The Roving Chef, sell her delicious wares at The Paradise Gardens Festival* in Victoria Park.

She had slaved away baking every type of cake you could wish for; Banana, Carrot (with cream cheese icing), Malt Loaf, Ginger, Lemon Drizzle, Apple, Chocolate, Coffee and Walnut, Victoria, Brownies and Red Velvet cupcakes!

Over the 2 day festival we sold soooo much cake! Luckily they was a bit left over for me and The Big One to take home, result!

* This was the only kind of festival I like, the non camping kind!

You can contact Hayley for delicious cakes and personalised cookery classes via her website (link above).

"A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes that he has got the biggest piece."

A Tea Party of Happy Madness!

So PinkChilliPop's Mad Hatter's Tea Party has been and gone and it was FaBuLouS! The turn out and outfit effort was superb!  I particularly loved the table dressing, it was loaded with playing cards,  teapots of cocktails, gorgeous Roving Chef iced and bejewelled cupcakes, pots of bubbles, vases of sunflowers and best of all pens to draw on the tablecloth!

PinkChilliPop was a beautifully camp 'Alice on Acid' and she was ably supported by Kings and Queens of Hearts, Mad Hatters, White Rabbits and several gorgeously kooky ladies.  There were masks, presents, gloves, brooches and all things pretty.

I was, as previously blogged, a White Rabbit - Time? Time?  - I had a brilliant time!

"Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad?
Alice: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."
