My new cake stands


I've bought 20 new cake stands for the business to hire out. Pretty 2 tier pink glass and I think they are going to look wonderful at vintage style tea parties and weddings.

I've decided to have a New Years Resolution afterall.......Make Time For Teatime

In the tradition of this resolution Cherub & I baked today some lovely fairy cakes....yummy


Fairy Cakes

175g unsalted butter, softened

170g caster sugar

3 medium eggs from your chickens

1/2 t.spoon vanilla extract

150g self raising flour

1/2 t.spoon baking powder

2 tbl.spoons milk

Butter Icing

Sprinkles & all things yummy & pretty


Preheat oven to 180c/350f/gas 4.

Put the soft flour, sugar, beaten eggs & vanilla into a big bowl

Sift the flour & baking powder into the bowl

Add milk

Mix thoroughly to make smooth, thick cake batter


Spoon into paper cases, about half full

Bake for 12-15 minutes (you want the batter to spring back when touched)

Remove & leave to cool.

Decorate with all things yummy

Find your tea cups and pretty cake plates & enjoy
In respect of our new resolution for the year, Cherub & I will post more of our 'Make Time for Teatime' recipes!
