New for Summer...

We have created the perfect summer dessert for dinner parties and garden parties alike. A chewy yet crunchy chocolate meringue with chunks of dark chocolate throughout, topped with summer berries, chantilly cream and shards of dark or white chocolate - what's not to like!

India Rose Design

Let us introduce you to our good friend Sarah and her gorgeous craft company India Rose Design.

We have recently worked with Sarah on an Afternoon Tea party in Sussex where her hand-stitched hearts beautifully decorated the food table and then doubled up as gifts for guests. 

Check out her Facebook page "India Rose Design" for lots of lovely ideas for wedding favours, personalised gifts and decorations.

Children's Parties

We love catering for children's parties, it gives us the chance to be creative and lets be honest kids food is always more fun!

A good example of this is our strawberry mice, a huge hit with children at parties.

If you have a theme in mind for a children's party then let us help you with food ideas to match. We have recently catered for Woodland, Cars, Alice in Wonderland and Princess themed parties!

Please contact us if you need any ideas or prices.

Ginger Brides & Grooms

These yummy brides & grooms were made to be served as guests left the church for the short walk to the wedding venue. They are also perfect for wedding favours and can be personalised in a number of ways. They look great packaged in cellophane bags and tied with raffia or ribbon.

Stop The Traffic!

Check out our Red Velvet Heart Cake...

This week we have had the lovely task of cooking a surprise anniversary dinner for a customer in London. Dessert was this gorgeous Red Velvet layer cake with cream cheese frosting - the same cake they had on their wedding day!

If you want to try to create your own red velvet cake we would offer the following tips:

*Make sure you don't use a natural food colouring as once the cake is baked it will be more brown than red - we use Sugarflair Extra Red Paste.

*Take the time to do a crumb coat before you do the final icing as any crumbs will show up! If you don't have the time for this stage we can reccomend using Bake Easy spray before baking to reduce the amount of crumbs that are released from the cake.
