Good News!

Good news peeps.  We will be back at Wentworth Woodhouse for their wedding fair taking place on the 22nd March 2015.  We will be back in the marble room so come and visit us for a bit of cake and a chat.  We're very excited! 

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Actually the nightmare came after Christmas when our mixer broke down.  We were working on a cake and just as we had started the mixer broke and that was it...sheer panic and a mini meltdown.  It took everything not to throw ourselves on the floor and cry and scream a little.  All was well in the Kiss Me Cake kitchen though because we have our trusty back-up Ken!  Ken is an ancient mixer that we keep in the back of the storage room, he is very noisy and slightly slow in his old age, but for emergencies he is brilliant and on this day he absolutely saved us and the cake. Yippee!

The nightmare that we had before Christmas wasn't a bad one though, in fact it turned out to be one of our favourite cakes.  Making a Tim Burton themed cake was an absolute dream and we had so much fun with this one, the only drawback was all of the black icing we had to use...black icing is the worst.  It sticks to everything and colours your hands a yucky grey colour, we like to buy pre-coloured black icing, we often make our own and we absolutely dread it when we have to, it takes forever and colours all of your hands and fingers...it can take days to get rid of no matter how many times you wash your hands and scrub; but look how fabulous our cake turned out, totally worth the yucky grey hands.

Busy in the Bakery

Hello folks! We have completely been neglecting our blog, but that's just because we have been so busy!  As well as lots of Christmas cakes to get out in December we were inundated with Birthday cake orders and so we've been busy little bees creating some fab birthday cakes and preparing for our next wedding fair.


Those of you that know us will know that we run our business alongside our normal 9-5 jobs. Sometimes this can get a bit hectic and we've been known to work late in to the night after work to make sure we get our cakes out and looking beautiful.  It's hard work but we absolutely love it and have achieved a good balance in the way that we work.  We plan everything down to the last second so we know we will get the cake done and to a high standard too. After a long day at work it's actually very therapeutic to get in to the bakery and get working on our next order and it's so much fun too. 

Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages...when we are not blogging we are definitely Face-booking and Tweeting and you can get regular updates from us there and see what's happening in our bakery.

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to.
