I've had wide range of orders recently (for weddings, garden parties, work parties) and this one was for a family who are leaving England for the Czech Republic for a year and then Chicago (all this information from the little boy who's cakes these are - he was taking them in to his class on his last day). I think they look so cute with the cut out icing shape on top. I'm going to do some tomorrow with the black cherry cupcakes I've made for the stall.

Making cakes in this weather is fairly hot I have to say - I've had the windows open but the blinds down but half open (they're the slatted wooden type) so that I get a breeze without the heat of the sun but it's means cooking in semi darkness.. Juliet Binoche never looked hot and frazzled and her hair never went frizzy when she had a shop in Chocolat whereas I look like a stressed tomato :))
