Chuppi giveaway

Saturday, May 5, 2012
















The lovely Miss Cakehead has been working with Mathmos on their new Chuppi light. This is a cute rechargeable night light for children, that has been created with the help of funky designers TADO.
Anyway she kindly sent one over for the kidlets to play with (really I needed two!). The joy of the Chuppi is that it's stickers are reusable, so now every night our Chuppi is sporting a new look! (I had a go too, the one above sticking his tongue out)

















The pack comes with suggestions for looks, but, being my children, the kidlets prefer to make up their own, one of my favourites being vampire pig!
Lucky for you, I do have a Chuppi to giveaway.



















To win your own, leave me a comment letting me know what you would call your Chuppi.  You can also have extra entry into the draw if you are a follower of my blog/Twitter/Facebook or if you link to this giveaway on your own blog/Twitter/Facebook .  But please tell me via the comments below or I won't know. The competition is open to everyone.
I will draw the lucky name out of a hat on Monday 21st May 12pm BST.
I'm really sorry but this giveaway is only open to residents of the UK and European countries.
Good luck!



















This isn't a sponsored post, but I did receive my own Chuppi...that bypassed me and went straight into the hands of the kidlets!

Vintage wedding fair

Wednesday, May 2, 2012
Yes, I know, shockingly late. This fair was almost two months ago! But, I have finally got round to editing my photos.

This, is my table, you've seen most of the cakes before but here they are in their full glory.


The fair was organised by the fabulous Mrs Scoops, who owns the delightful Betty, a vintage ice cream van. If I was having an event I would so want Betty there.

There were the most gorgeous dresses from the amazing Johanna Hehir.










































 My stand was next to Vicky Trainer. It was great chatting to her as we have very similar backgrounds as textile designers but have taken a different path post children. Vicky creates delicious stationery.






















There was also Ella May, the vintage caravan that you can hire for your event. she was so sweet and the Tunnocks were the perfect touch for me!

Gorgeous dresses from the fabulously talented Poppy Children.

There were many others there that are worth checking out. Unfortunately it was such a busy day that I didn't manage to get shoots of every stand.

If you would like to see more, the wonderful Knots and Kisses (who also create delightful stationery) have a fairly definitive blog post here.

Painted peony wedding cake

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

This is the cake I made last week. It was based on the wedding flowers, peonies, roses, lisianthus, freesia and gypsophila. 



I love painting these romantic cakes!




The couple also ordered named cookies as their guest favours.


The wedding was at West Park Lodge, Hertfordshire a really beautiful venue.


The gorgeous flowers were by Emma Sousa Flowers and were sooo romantic, I think the cake really complimented them!
