Ashby Magna Street Fair September 2017
Our first visit to this lovely event held in the centre of Ashby Magna village. There was a selection of stalls, some traders, and others fund raising for village events. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and with the Fair being held from 6:00 to 9:00 in the evening we had to use our lights to illuminate the gazebo & stock!

Glen Parva Gala August 2017
Using our own gazebo and table at the Glen Parva Gala. Unfortunately there was torrential rain before we set up and light rain/drizzle for a while afterwards. This didn't dampen our spirits and things looked even nicer later on when the sun came out.

Melton Mowbray Saturday Market August 2017
Outside again but this time instead of using our own Gazebo, this was a traditional market stall in the centre of Melton Mowbray. If you look closely you can see two fudge sample bowls on the front of the table. (We weren't having a huge sale, the 50% off signs were in Edinburgh Woolen Mill Shop's window behind us!)

Abington Park Museum Food Fair July 2017
Another lovely day at the Abington Park Museum in Northampton. Our last visit here was a Vintage Fair where we had our gazebo in their courtyard. This time it was a Food Fair and our stall was inside the museum in the beautiful Victorian Room. We were placed in the corner with windows behind us which unfortunately enabled us to watch the rain outside later in the afternoon! (Thank goodness we were inside!)

Monks Kirby Summer Fayre June 2017
A Burty's eye view of the Monks Kirby Summer Fayre. Unfortunately the picture doesn't completely capture the atmosphere of this lovely event, but at least you can see the setting in amongst the superb big trees (and the chairs set up ready for the next children's magic show!).

Sue's Birthday Cake
Another celebration cake made for a very good friend's birthday (I'm not saying how old she is!). As the cake was a gift it was designed to look like a wrapped present.

Abington Park Museum
A picture of our stall set up in the lovely courtyard of Abington Park Museum Northampton May 2017. We were kindly given a shaded corner so that neither us, or our products melted!

Jordan's Birthday Cake
Choosing a theme for keen footballer Jordan's 13th birthday cake was quite simple. A traditional Madera cake (and football) fondant iced with a custom made printed collar showing the logo & colours of his own football team Dunton and Broughton Rangers.
The separate football was made specially for his younger brother Keegan who is sucrose intolerant. So this was made sugar-free (using 'Truvia' a sugar substitute) and sugar free jam. The Fondant icing was removed before the cake was given to him
Rozanna's Cake
This is the top tier of a multi tier cake made for professional opera singer Rozanna Madylus' 30th birthday. Hand made icing rose petals and a printed collar with music from one of her favourite arias.
Donny & Danny Dinosaurs!
More novelty cakes made for friends twin son's birthday celebrations. The boys in question are 21 and 2 years old, so there is a bigger age difference than usual for twins!
Made from moist & shaped vanilla sponge with a raspberry jam filling and a coloured coating of coloured fondant icing. Fondant icing is also used for the scales and other dinosaur details.
60th Birthday Cake
A three tiered vanilla sponge cake, fully iced and decorated for a 60th birthday party.
Meet Derek the Dinosaur!
Although novelty cake making isn't our main business, here is another example of what we can do when asked!
Made from moist & shaped vanilla sponge with a raspberry jam filling and a coloured coating of all butter, butter cream. Sat on a swamp of jelly with candy stick teeth, Chocolate Mint scales, and Chocolate Bean eyes!
Derek was approximately 15 inches long and 8 - inches high.
Perfect for a Two-Year-Olds Birthday party!
We were recently commissioned to provide seven fully iced and decorated sponge cakes for the local scout groups anniversary celebrations.
