Starting work at 5.30am the day stretched before me with the potential to achieve so much. Which was always going to be necessary thanks to the huge number of orders from you all – thank you!
It may be a cliche – time flies when you are having fun – but I have no idea where 17 hours went as I baked and modelled and iced and rolled and filled and kneaded and tasted and tested – and washed up.
Sitting down tonight to look through the photos of the day I wasn’t sure if I had actually achieved a great deal, but I’ve been assured I have, even if pics of the Caribbean Cake, Apple Pie (to die for…!) and Truffles are missing.
So here we go – what came out of the FWL Kitchen today?
First up – I’ve been looking forward to baking these for a while now. Whilst someone (who shall remain anonymous) insisted twiglets would make better antlers I am very pleased with the pretzels. Coco the cross eyed reindeer will be available exclusively at Coco so do get down there and meet him!
Now these I just love. A special order for a girlie get together I wanted to offer a twist on the classic Christmassy Cupcake. The holly leaves are my current favourite jade green, and the berries a bright pink to match the cake cases. Sprinkled with “Goldust” I am looking forward to the reaction when they are collected tomorrow 🙂
And finally – if we don’t count the Christmas Cookies, Cake, Apple Pie or Truffles – here are two of the four Christmas Cakes I iced this week. Excited to be packing them in to hampers with the truffles (Apricot, Raspberry or Lime and Coconut…), cookies and perhaps a cupcake or two!
Ooops – how could I forget this order that went out today too?!
White Chocolate and Cranberry, Sticky Toffee and Salted Caramel Buttercream, Strawberry and Vanilla – mmmmmm……
Pretty much booked up now until the New Year but if you do have an order it is always worth dropping me an email – I love to hear from you!
