Christmas is coming to Suffolk

I know that it may seem a bit early for Christmas, but it's never to early to think about baking! And now The Decorated Cake Co is offering two workshops in Suffolk, to show you how to decorate your cake in time for Christmas.

Cake Decorating can be a bit daunting, but practise makes perfect and it's great fun, so why not give it a go? This November we will be at Snape Maltings in Suffolk. This stunning venue on the river Alde is the perfect place to get into the festive spirit with lots of things to see and do.

Our workshops are aimed at the beginner or the more experienced wishing to refresh their existing skills. Come and meet like minded people in a relaxed and fun environment. We will provide all equipment and materials and you can either use a cake dummy that we will provide or you are invited to bring along your own fruit cake ready to decorate. Lunch and refreshments are also provided. All this for just £80. Why not give it a go?? Email me for more information or to book your place. Spaces are limited

Brrrr...

Summers seems well and truly over now. There's a definite nip in the air, but I don't really mind. This time of year lends itself to long chilly walks and warming up by the fire afterwards. The colder weather also is a perfect excuse to try out lots of new recipes in the kitchen. This year has been great for soft fruits in my garden, and they can taste fantastic added to tarts and cakes. When you can't use them all at once, simply pop them in the freezer, ready to use when you are. Try apples in a sultana cake, or blackberries in a chocolate sponge, with a warm chocolate sauce, de-lish! Why not share some of your favourite recipes?
