Cake Stand News Flash!

This little beauty will be taking a starring role on 'Market Kitchen' a television programme on the Good Food Channel, tonight between 7 and 8pm. Our cake stands have been selected by none other than Jo wood, from Strictly Come Dancing and ex-wife of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood. She's giving her guide on what you need for Christmas entertaining and considers our stands a must-have item.

Slight problem in that I don't have Sky, in fact even Channel 5 is viewed through a crackly haze..so if you do get this channel, let us know how they looked please.

Christmas Sparkle

Clare and Danny have been very busy in Mile End and are still shaking the residual glitter from two unhappy cats and very sparkly children. These beautiful glitter cups will be on sale at the East London Design Show in Shoreditch this December and we hope that for £9.50 will bring a friend or much loved relly a warm vintage glow.

'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.
