'Girl Power' gets Loaded

A big grin filled and hearty 'Thanks' to Eilidh, who with the help of her lovely photographer friend Andy, has sent us these wonderful pictures of a 'Let them eat cake' stand filled to bursting with lots of gorgeous cupcakes.'Girl Power' has never looked so deliciously tempting.



Eilidh can be seen below wearing a rather fetching fur hat she found down the back of the sofa at the Roseleaf pub in Edinburgh, and drinking cocktails from a teacup! A true Mad Hatters tea party which Clare and I would love have been at..will drop by when next up North.

I hope that like us, you've been inspired by these photos and won't hesitate to share your joyous cake stand moments with us too.

Hob Nobbing

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...

Read all about It!

Elsa has taken on the role of our new PR Oficer, so has designed a rather eye catching poster to let all cake stand devotees know about our new vintage cake stand collection on the 'Let them eat Cake' website. We'd love to know what you think about our new creations and our new presentation and we're always open to ideas and of course pictures of your own or our cake stands in action. Meanwhile keep baking and enjoying - cake.

Eating Cake for England

Elsa and Alice (Clare's daughters) have lots of reasons to don their England wigs and eat cake. It's been a week where we've seen the English cricket swingers make the Aussies suffer, have reached the three year point to the 2012 Olympics in better shape than expected and have received the sad news that Sir Bobby Robson has hung up his boots for good. What better reason do you need to get your cake stand out, eat cake and celebrate.
