Bargain cup cake stand!!


Just a quick post to let you know about my recent bargain buy from T J Hughes! Check out my new stand which holds 23 cup cakes.


There's hardly any difference design wise to the Wilton stand however a tremendous difference in price.

My Wilton Stand




The Wilton stand costs around £20.00 but this little beauty was reduced to £4.99!

Imagine my delight when upon paying I was told there was a further 20% off! I did the obvious thing and bought two!

waaahoooo I love a bargain!

Vermicelli in strife!

Silver balls and chocolate vermicelli alike are today quaking in their containers as Divine Deli cup cake sprinkles hit the Steel City! There are over 40 different product designs to sit pretty upon your butter cream swirls, which give the retro cake sprinkles a serious run for their money. Bronze pearls, chocolate toffee crunch, strawberry buttons and purple glimmer sugar are a few examples of the extensive range. All are beautifully packaged in these adorable bottles, they're sooooo cute and unfortunately for my purse strings, very collectable!

  

Jackie at Card and cake craft (7-8 North Gallery, Exchange St, Sheffield 0114 272 8606)
currently stocks over 20 products  ranging from £2.20 - £2.99 per bottle. She hopes to increase her stock range over the next week and will almost have the whole range! I'm told the best seller so far is the cappuccino chocolate drops which apparently taste fantastic!


My personal favourite so far are the caramel cubes.


Ahhhhh They're so diddy!

I'm off now with my reinforced bag to stock up, happy sprinkling!

New number two piping nozzle!!

Well it had to be done. Rachel has officially joined cyber world!

I've been meaning to sort out a blog for quite some time but never quite made the leap as the fear of technology still makes me feel ill! How I've refrained over the years from launching my lap top through the window, or wrapping a rolling pin around it, I have no idea!?

Another reason for not getting my act into gear is that I am dyslexic. The embarrassment that I feel because of this is tremendous. However I have some fantastic friends and clients who over time have convinced me to give it a go and assured me they will help check my posts regularly. There will however be times that I will have to rely solely on my trusty spell check. So bear with me folks, cause what I have to say is hopefully worth overlooking a few spelling errors.


So without further ado, I take my hat off and salute dyslexic cake decorators all across the world. I raise my glass and say " Here's to finding a way to work and earn good money, avoiding those nasty words."



Grand Job!!


Super indeed!!

Just to point out, this is not one of mine and is in fact courtesy of cake wrecks. Check out the carrot jockies!!

Enough.... On with the show!
