Rainy Manchester Market

Our second market in Manchester and it rained. I suppose we could have predicted that.

Anyway it didn't spoil the fun - my feet were a bit unhappy and cold but that was all sorted with some woolly socks (thank you Andy Jane).

We had some very generous swaps to take home - thank you the butcher stall for the pheasants and the florist for the flowers! Please come and get some free cakes next month x

And to the customer who left the sirloin steaks - we're so sorry you didn't come back! Really! Though they were delicious :)

My lovely flowers (and a non-cake picture just because)

Christmas at Knutsford Market

Brrrrr!! It was a cold start to the weekend for i love cake. Wrapped in as many layers as we could manage without disabling ourselves, we set off for Knutsford Farmers Market (in the dark - eek) . It was a chilly old day but the sun shone and after a good few cups of tea we were ready for action.

This months earnings went on tea, tea....a nice hot cup of tea, a delicious pain au raisin from the bread stall and a most delicious indeed steak and ale pie, which I have just polished off with a dollop of mash and a big glass of wine (to keep out the cold of course).

Anyway aren't we meant to be talking about cakes?

Don't forget we will be at Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester next Friday and Saturday. Please come and keep us busy or we might just freeze to death!

Gift tags

Seeing as a lot of people seem to buy our cakes as presents we thought it'd be a nice touch to make some gift tags. We bought this really cool alphabet stamp set so we can write anything you fancy. Try and make it nice please - we like to think our cakes make people happy!
