Little Pinkie Vintage Afternoon Tea

Throw back to September 2020 when I was asked to write about my experience of business during lockdown. In one of the most surreal, stressful times we excelled for sure! #essexliving @essexlivingmag #littlepinkievintageafternoontea

Absolutely love this cake #littlepinkievintageafternoontea #cake #fondantcake #essexcakes #essexbakes #tieredcake #cakesofinstagram

This one deserves to be seen. Little old me grafting away and all that content creating and with over 6k (I know that’s not loads but I’ve done it organically) followers………it’s shared to 250! Come on social media give a small business a break lololol #smallbusiness #essexbusiness #littlepinkievintageafternoontea

A video to show just how stunning the cake and flowers were @thisislulalula @littleeastonmanor

Thank you all for your Easter Treat Box orders. As always, much appreciated. After deliveries it was back to HQ to prep for tomorrow. Then deliver the cake and dessert ready for the birthday girl to wake up to. I cannot wait to show you this cake and set up. For now, it’s chill out time, then a curry and then off to see Diversity. Happy Easter everyone #littlepinkievintageafternoontea #essexcakes #essexfood

Just some of the steps of a cake. There’s many more lol #cake #dripcake #essexcakes #buttercreamcakes #littlepinkievintageafternoontea

Video of the buffet from Saturday. I’m still knackered lololol #littlepinkievintageafternoontea

This cake was a gluten and dairy free cake. Not easy and stressful knowing when to open the oven 🤣 too early and it sinks. With dairy and gluten free you think it’s done and boooommm you have a sinker. Or skewer comes out clean when testing bit later find it’s undercooked. I was able to do this as the diary wasn’t as busy (night out lol). I loved the ornament on top of this cake and I ordered this from Amazon. #littlepinkievintageafternoontea

It was a busy weekend celebrating with Little Pinkie Afternoon Teas. I am very lucky that I get to meet such wonderful families. That you for booking with me and trusting me to bring it all together.

A successful weekend of setting up and collections. Quite often people ask ‘what time did you get up this morning to start this’……..my reply……days ago……if a cake…..sometimes weeks ago. Prep starts way before the delivery date. Designing, making bits so that they dry, shopping, admin….. Today….I’m knackered and Mondays are my weekend (which I love because everywhere is empty and gone back to work lolol) #littlepinkievintageafternoontea

I knew there was a reason to add the fondant topped biscuits as an added gift from me. Yes, I wanted to use my new embosser and was the perfect time for a bride and her bridesmaids….but….when I delivered the hamper it was obviously meant to be lol. My client got engaged in the month of February….so do I. My client is getting married in August……I got married in August. Then she asked where I got married and I said Mauritius, guess what?……..she is having her Honeymoon in Mauritius! A little get together for the Bride to be and her Bridemaids to talk all things wedding and get organised. What a lovely thing to do. Also homemade sausage rolls were added. #bridesmaidtreat #bridetobe #wedding #essexwedding #afternoonteahamper #afternoontea #essexafternoontea #essexbride #littlepinkievintageafternoontea
