It was a very eventful month, July with a number of tricky cakes to do! The most exciting bit for me was being shown on Wedding TV (Sky Channel 277/278, http://www.weddingtv.com/) on the 13th of July and I didn't even get to see it. What I did get to do though was an hour and a half long shoot with Wedding TV where I got to talk about cakes (my favourite subject) and do a cake decorating demonstration. The producer, Rachael, was absolutely lovely and we had a great time during the shoot. The venue was at the fabulous Courthouse Hotel Kempinski (http://www.courthouse-hotel.com/) located just across from Liberty's. The hotel was originally a courthouse and a number of famous people like Christine Keeler, John Lennon and Oscar Wilde were tried there. It has a fabulous roof garden and some of the original cells have been kept as part of the decor.
The month ended with me making a Tinkerbell fairy garden cake for Disney which went down a storm.

To quote a strap line from a famous advert, every little helps. All the added extras such as the delivery and set up costs, cake stand and cake knife hire costs do add up and when deciding your budget be clear whether it’s inclusive of extras or not.
