After a rather usual hectic week we are now off on holidays. I currently have three small girls asking to leave already , we can't go until their eldest sister finished her last shift at work at 2pm and they really don't get this. Pretty sure we have world war three yesterday in our house 3 hours into our "holiday", I haven't packed a thing due to taking an extra cake this week so I have decided to quickly type this up to add to the pressure. Today I delivered an American baseball themed cake for Davids birthday at the request of his lovely wife, Sara.

As family we had a lovely thing to do last week which was a family beach shoot by the very talented Fiona Saxton. As I have a large family its so hard ...

I am currently trying to keep on top of a few things. The website update being the main one but also working on a few new cake models for Doxford Barns up and coming wedding show on the 11th of July. I am trying to make the time to develop my work as I think it is as important as my actual orders. This has been a challenge. I am partial to distraction and have to focus myself with pep talks etc. I guess the development time is also me-time. I am doing it because I love it not because someone is paying me. I will try and upload some new pictures as it unfolds. Off on the school run now. Mad running about is what I do best - insert laughing cry face here. p.s watched a show on BBC 4 last night by Rich Hall on the American worker, crazily interesting. Love a bit of comedy mixed with history. A. x ...
