An office lunch, an afternoon bake off & now halloween movies with my daughter before we start on Saturday's wedding buffet tomorrow! I'm fully booked until the end of the year now, so I'm bracing myself!

Considering I never wanted to make cakes, I get a lot of orders now 🤣. This 12" black forest gateau was ordered for a funeral as it had been a favourite! I need to get back into the zone soon as next week we have the first of two November wedding buffets!

Another business lunch was slotted in today whilst juggling things! I've just had another 2026 wedding book in, and am now turning away more 2025 weddings than I can accept! Don't forget I'm now only doing 2-3 weddings a month, so don't leave it too late to secure that date! 🥂

A lot of you know that I'm based at the well known Bates Green Farm. My esteemed landlord, John McCutcheon has asked me to partner with him for next season & beyond at Bates Green Garden! The garden will be open on Wednesdays & Saturdays from February to October & I will be running the café for all our visitors! The bluebell charities will still run their cafés as normal (holiday for me!)

As a perk, John has given me use of the barn & kitchen for private event hire, so 2025 here we come!

A busy couple of days flying here & there! Yesterday I visited Trading Boundaries where I'm catering a wedding next month & wow, what a place (especially if you're elephant mad like me!). Today it was baking at dawn, follwed by a business lunch & more baking! I've also had several enquiries so best get to it!

I left Tyler to it whilst I had a meeting today & managed to capture an action shot when I got back! He made these custard cream blondies & a Dorset apple cake - clever chap!

Thank you to all my couples from the last 12 months who responded to my request to vote for me! I wouldn't normally do this sort of thing, but as I was independently nominated, I thought why not? Anyway, it's out of my hands as of 5pm, I haven't pestered everyone so if you haven't seen my email & would like to vote, let me know! If you nominated me, you still need to vote! I've also had to submit lots of info about myself & my little business as part of the judging process, which is truly out of my comfort zone, but what will be will be! 🥰

A tea party for a baby shower today has rounded off the month & I now have some time to focus on the café, prepare for Christmas, give HQ a declutter and have some me time before a busy November & December! My daughter is cooking me a Korean style pasta for dinner, so the spoiling starts now! 🥰

28/09/2024

This bonkers September is nearly over! A celebration of life in Paddock Wood with a buffet lunch then afternoon tea to accompany all the music & dancing! Then tonight a buffet delivery, which included spanakopita spring rolls, chicken caesar salad & a New York cheesecake! I think I've used every utensil, pan & tray today! With a baby shower tea tomorrow, I'm looking forward to a break in October! 😴

Last night I dropped off the team & off I went to a 40th birthday with canapés! Cheese scones with cream cheese & chilli jam, smoked salmon & cream cheese forks, quail egg scotch eggs and baby yorkshires with rare roast beef & horseradish!

I'm aware that I am so behind with my admin, so my Sunday will be spent scaling the email mountain as there's another big week coming up!
