The Bury Wedding Show

Last weekend we were at the Bury Wedding Show. Saturday was spent frantically baking and whisking and covering the kitchen in a cloud of icing sugar. Sunday was spent showing our wares and bobbing our heads to Dexy's Midnight Runners courtesy of Bury's local wedding dj.

New flavours and a slopey oven

Phew! Last week was move week for us. But now we're in! Admitedly there are still boxes of I'm not sure what everywhere but the worst is over. And I have a nice new kitchen to bake in. Unfortunatly the oven seems to be on a slope...? Small panic yesterday, but after some tinkering with the shelves the job's a goodun.

So these are the fruits of tonight's labour. And not a lop sided cake in sight.

The chocolate iced ones are chocolate and ginger (just an excuse to use the little gingerbread men sprinkles really) and the pink ones chocolate and raspberry. Made with melted chocolate and oodles of raspberry jam. I really wanted to use cherry jam but we only had raspberry so I made do. Pretty damn nice though I must say.

New sprinkles!

These wicked new sprinkles arrived yesterday. Yes these are snowflakes and it's not christmas but they're pretty cool I reckon. Actually, these ones below are easter rabbits and ducks and it's not easter either but look!

These are surely the best of all - little mini gingerbread men!

A new cake stand!

I seem to have developed a small addiction to buying cake stands and plates. Really flowery, granny-like ones. I think they look great with the cakes though.

Naked cakes

I think cupcakes look so tasty without frosting too. But then where would the sprinkles go?

Cherry and Coconut

These were today's flavour round 2. Cherry and coconut. A nice change to my usual flavours.

A touch of English fete

I made these today. It was an experiment to see how some more traditional english cakes would go down. They're a kind of butterfly fairy cake/victoria sponge mix! They turned out really good! Very sweet and indulgent and totally delicious.

What's inside

The most delicious carrot cake and a pretty nice double chocolate one x
