So a lot has happened since I last wrote anything here. Some great, some really crap. I have had a difficult but rewarding summer with work and with my family. I made a mistake in August, I made a wrong judgement call but for the best reasons, so I sleep well but my bank balance isn't great. Facts of running your own business I guess. I am also really excited as The Treehouse restaurant in Alnwick Gardens has listed me as their recommend supplier and I will be with them for their open evening on the 8th of October at 5pm.

Today I delivered an American baseball themed cake for Davids birthday at the request of his lovely wife, Sara. I loved this one as it was a stack of jerseys and I have wanted to do a "stack of shirts" cake for ages now! I also finished a magic themed cake for little Elliot, who is now 6.
