Let them eat Cake stands have had a string of dazzling social engagements of late. Sixteen stands appeared laden with Caroline's sparkling cupcakes at the Acorns fundraising tea. After lots of teas, cake, wine and dancing, the total raised was in excess of £2,000. Meanwhile at Selfridges in London, our cake stands were part of the tea inspired theme for Hobbs new Autumn collection. As you can see our three cake/clothes assistants look ready and eager to assist all exhausted shoppers with a cup of tea and a dazzling smile -now that's my kind of shopping.

Time for Tea

On Friday 25th September our cake stands will be gracing the tables of the Episode hotel in Leamington Spa, for an Autumnal 'Acorns Charity Tea' organised by Liz Claiborne, my neighbour. Acorn's cares for children who are 'life-limited as well as their families, so worthy of support from the 70 tea time attendees and their purses.

We're hoping that some of those lovely ladies will buy one of our cake stands at the event. We've pledged to donate 10% from every sale to the Acorns charity and delivery it for free - that's of course only if you live in the Leamington Spa area! So I'm off now to assemble 16 cake stands and help Caroline (friend and cake maker) decorate 250 mini cupcakes with delicate sugar roses and sparkling glitter...might have to force myself to be the cake taster. Hopefully some pictures of this lovely event will appear soonish...
