I have very limited availability in September and October and November is filling fast! Those in the know have booked their December dates already 😉….

Thank you Lee for these photographs! (As usual I didn’t take any 😂)

I had the honour to cater for her gorgeous son’s christening in her beautifully decorated garden on Sunday! Choices from my bespoke menus meant there was something for everyone to enjoy!
I’m currently booking into late October/November and would recommend getting any special dates booked quickly 😍

It’s past the middle of July! I’ve been reminded I haven’t posted for xdays! THANK YOU!
I’ve been non stop busy! Too busy to take photos!
Here are a few from the past few weeks that have been sent to me by my lovely customers. I’m currently booking October/November dates.

Friday 24th May.
An honour to be asked to provide the food for Cate & Matt’s Wedding Celebration. They had a Pizza Truck serving endless pizza and I did the picky bits to go alongside including a salad table (oops- no photos 🤦‍♀️). They did all the event styling themselves and it was absolutely beautiful! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Hassett ❤️

A Fairy 🧚‍♀️ First Birthday Party. I love catering for little ones! When the age range is under 1’s to 6+ making sure everyone has a treat makes it a challenge that is so worthwhile! Thank you 🥰

I am notoriously bad for taking pictures- too busy, not a good photographer, just not instaworthy snaps! So, when a beautiful bride sends me the pictures from her pre-wedding brunch at the beginning of April I did swoon a little! The hand is dad who was a big fan of the bacon, Brie and cranberry croissants! Thank you Emily!

Absolutely honoured to provide the Afternoon Tea for the lovely ladies at Finningley WI. It’s always daunting to bake for a group of excellent bakers but I think it was enjoyed! Truly the end of an era, made poignant by the lovely memories and remarkable efforts of the group over the years - shared by Richard N Jayne Sims
I even joined in with the singing of Jerusalem- my apologies!

UPDATE
I’m still here! Busy catering for birthdays, christenings, hen dos, and any of your lovely get togethers!

But, in order to continue providing you with the best possible service (and stay in business) I have had to make a tough decision.

From 1st March I will no longer be able to make ad hoc platter boxes for small numbers. It saddens me to say that stupidly high packaging costs and energy prices mean that they are simply no longer economical to produce. Everything I bake is freshly done to order and two sausage rolls and quiches or cakes in the oven are just not economically viable anymore. My energy costs alone have tripled in the last year.
I have held out as long as possible so that I can still provide my loyal and lovely customers with their treat night boxes and it has been a very tough decision to make as you have all kept my business going during those dreadful COVID lockdowns and I have loved every minute of it ❤️. THANK YOU

The minimum number of guests I can cater for in future is 10 people.

Thank you

Good Evening lovely people ❤️
Just a reminder that I’m getting booked up into April/May.

So, if you are planning an event and needing me to feed you please don’t delay. I know the impromptu get togethers sometimes pop up and I’ll always do my best to fit you in but I have had to say sorry to lots of you in the past few days - something I hate to do!

03/01/2024

I may be a bit slow to the NYE party! Happy New Year to all my lovely customers. THANK YOU!
I may be late but please don’t be as slow to book your 2024 events - January/February weekends are already fully booked up! If you are planning a party in 2024 please get in touch even if you think it’s months away - those in the know booked their August 2024 event last September 😂.
As ever, I am grateful for your continued support and love xx
New menus coming 🔜
THANK YOU
❤️

🎁 A Gift for a Gift - A Clubhouse Tale 🎁

In the heart of Clubhouse, where laughter resounds, a magical appeal, in joy knows no bounds.

With the twinkle of lights and the season so bright, we launch a tale that feels just right.

Once upon this festive cheer,
A Gift for a Gift draws near.
Children's smiles we aim to bring,
With your generosity, let the sleigh bells ring.

For every toy beneath our tree,
A free activity is the key.
Bowling, golf, and joy untold,
Warm hearts and memories unfold.

Donate a toy, a generous deed,
Spread the magic, fulfill a need.
Children at the hospital, awaiting delight,
Your gift brings warmth on this wondrous night.

Thank you for sharing in the spirit of giving,
For every toy donated, a bit of magic we're living.

Wishing you a season full of joy and light,
A Gift for a Gift, oh, what a delight! 🎄

Hello!
Apologies for lack of recent posts! I get very busy and forget to take pictures!
I am turning down July and August requests because I am FULLY BOOKED!
Please think ahead about those events you are considering and get in touch!
I will be updating menus for Autumn soon.
And…. don’t forget - I can do hot food too for those colder days!
Thank you
