Chatsworth House photo shoot on BBC 1 !!

Last year, Myself, along with other local wedding suppliers (including GoGlorious, Shoot Lifestyle Photography, Freya Bridal and Orchis Floral Design) were asked to participate in a  rare photo shoot opportunity at Chatsworth House.  It was Pride & Prejudice inspired, and breathtakingly beautiful. On the day of the shoot, the BBC were filming a new documentary for the BBC - and they were very interested in what we were doing! No guarantees that we haven't ended up on the cutting room floor - but it could well be featured in the program on Monday 28/5/12 at 9pm on BBC1.


Here are some of the beautiful images taken from the shoot.

Thanks to everyone involved:

Yorkshire Post Wedding cake Feature !

Back in January I was contacted by a lovely lady from the Yorkshire Post, regarding a Wedding cake feature she was putting together for a Wedding supplement, just in time for Valentines day!

After interviewing me for around 40 mins, I finally came up for air and allowed the poor woman to get off for her Lunch!


Here's the end result......

Thanks loads to Shoot Lifestyle for allowing me to use these fantastic images of my cakes!!

Food for thought!

I've just returned from another morning with Rony Robinson on BBC Radio Sheffield. Today we discussed one of my random previous jobs as a Pokemon Trainer, A levels and school dinners. A strange combination of subjects indeed!  

I have to admit, I got totally carried away with the school dinner topic.   I was one of those strange kids who actually loved school dinners, in fact it was my second most favourite  part of the day, the first being home time! Anyone remember “superglue” the pastry based desert, layered with jam then a sticky pink marshmallow topping? We used to whack our spoons on the top, which then fused the two parts together. I would then spend the next ten minutes pretending to launch the desert at my mates and vice versa - much to the demon dinner ladies disgust. When the threat of lines and sitting on the hall floor through break finally came, there would be a few minutes of silence, whilst we began scraping our teeth against the spoon to remove all traces of this totally awesome treat. 

Other favorites were Caramel tart, chocolate and vanilla shortbread Catherine Wheels with lumpy chocolate custard and pink lumpy custard with a square of sponge with white icing on - and who could forget the legendary cheese pie, chips and beans.....yummy!

 See, I do have some happy memories of school after all!
