Introducing Kiss Me Cake - Wentworth Wedding Fair

Yesterday we attended yet another fantastic event thanks to the brilliant organising skills of the people at the Rotherham Advertiser. So far, it has to be our favourite venue...it's just so beautiful!

This year we re-designed the look of our stand and took everything we possibly could with us. We wanted to really get our brand out there and capture our vintage theme, which we think we managed to do. Our new uniforms certainly drew some attention and plenty of compliments and we had so much fun meeting potential customers and chatting with some of the people we are already working with. Chatting to the visitors was really interesting, we met one inspirational bride who is taking on the mammoth task of creating her own wedding cake, instead of a traditional tiered cake this bride is creating individual cakes for her guests to eat as dessert. A fantastic idea for a bride on a budget...but even better she is ingeniously baking her cakes in mushy pea cans. We love this! They make the perfect individual cake and you don't have to hire any tins. Fabulous! 

To prepare for our day, we spent all of our spare time creating some new cakes and baking and decorating 100 cupcakes with piped roses. It was all worth it as we were really happy with our new look and it seemed our potential customers were also!

Here are a few pictures of our day and to introduce you to our new look, we'd love to get your feedback so please leave us some comments and perhaps we will see you at our next event!

Don't worry, be happy...there's cake!

We are afraid that it is official as we are declaring it, there is always time for cake. And doesn't it make you feel better? Yesterday we handed out 100 cupcakes to some hard-working people, everyone accepted one and every person took it with a smile on their face, you see cake makes us happy!

Here's a lovely bit of carrot cake that we whipped up for a birthday recently...and how brilliant it is too as it's got one of your five-a-day in it! We always said cake was good for you didn't we? We also believe that baking a cake can make you feel happy too...have a look at one of our favourite books "Saved by Cake" proof that baking really can banish the blues. This book is full of quirky recipes with some interesting flavours too who knew coca cola was delicious in a cake or even beetroot!

No longer do we worry about the calories, if it brings a smile to your face then it's worth having. Even better if you whip a cake up yourself you can burn a whole load of calories that justify eating it! Did you know that squatting in front of the oven can burn between 200-300 calories? And you can burn up to 100 calories just from rolling pastry? We found this amazing article "Great British Bake Off: The Workout" on the Radio Times website...we're so impressed we're thinking of putting this article on the kitchen wall!

From now we shouldn't pass on cake as we've found some health benefits right here, it makes us happy and we can burn calories whilst making it and after doing a bit of googling we can burn 29 calories eating it! Woo hoo...happy cake days everybody!
