I’ve just about recovered from the whirlwind that was the Essex Wedding Fayre- Oh dear lord, it was hectic! Me and the recruits commenced baking on Friday afternoon. Several hours (and a few bottles of wine) later, 600 samples were packed up ready to go, along with all the displays and gubbins… oh and did I mention, there was a wedding going out on Saturday morning, yep- a wedding, so alongside the 600 samples, there was also a giant cupcake and 150 normal cupcakes baked, decorated and ready to go to the venue.

Falling into bed feeling pretty shattered, I was out like a light, and up early the next morning to make a load of decorations for one of the exhibition displays, following a dream I’d had where people were pointing and laughing at the original purple stars theme I’d put together (paranoid much? The overwork must’ve been getting to me!)

Then it was off to the show! (Mark was dispatched to deal with the wedding cakes, along with my younger bro- this weekend was a real family affair!). After a lot of nervous waiting for people to come to see us, where we were ensconced at the furthest possible point from the front door, we got BOMBARDED! The three hundred samples we’d allocated were gone in the first 2 hours, so one of the trusty assistants was dispatched to pick up the next day’s samples and my lovely mum got her pinny on and commenced baking another couple of hundred samples!

The second day was just as busy and everyone was SO chuffed with how it went- If you came over for a chat and a cupcake, hello to you- Hope you enjoyed the show and I really hope to hear from you soon!
