Ice-tastic :)

Morning my fellow foodies :)

Yesterday, I finally completed my piping tip mission! After weeks of research and searching, I have managed to find a set I am happy with and very excited to use. I was desperate to buy them in time for this weekends baking fun, and I cannot wait to share my ice-tastic results with you guys. Do you have a specific set of piping tips that you cannot part with, if so, share with me your pictures and results via redvelvetbaking.gmail.com :)

In addition, don't forget to share your baking treats for this busy weekend. St Patricks and Mothers day sweet treats...email pictures for features :)

Keep Calm and get creative,

Love baking,

Late Night Inspiration :)

Last night, me and the girls decided to go to the pub. It surely progressed into a crazy and rather eventful night out - it felt like I was on a soap or something!!

Firstly, as we were going into the local pub, a woman and it seemed ex boyfriend were fighting - but she was screaming for help and it was all rather Eastendery! Whilst in the pub a lot of older men were making passes at my beautiful friends and it was all getting rather intense. At half 10 we made a rash decision to go out and after a little (or lot!) of alcohol I woke up with chocolate all over my duvet and a hazy alcohol tainted glaze over my head!

However, whilst I was out, I took notice of all the advertising for St Patricks day, March 17th. Now what are you guys thinking of making? I spent a lot of my night thinking of flavour combinations and presentation ideas.

This is where you can get involved...let me know your ideas and favourite decorating techniques! Share the late night inspiration and we can create something beautifully inspiring. Send your pictures to redvelvetbaking.gmail.com and i'll be sure to post them :)

Social network baking :) <3 Get involved!!!

Keep calm and inspire the baking nation this march,

Kisses & Wishes,

Keep Calm & Surprise Yourself This Spring

So it's been a little while since I last post and a lot is going on! The Enterprise competition is fully on its way and things are getting more stressful. I cannot stress to you how important the survey on the below post is - it will really help me get up on my feet! So please, if you have a spare 2 minutes, give it a bash and help shape the future of cake... <3

Currently, I am setting up tasting panels and focus groups - so if you're local to Sheffield, Leeds or Wakefield - get in touch and you could be involved in eating some yummy baked products! In addition, I am looking at marketing techniques. Obviously internet media is great, but how else would you like me to contact you? Offers, promotions and flyers? You tell me....

In terms of the season, we have a lot of celebrations coming up, don't we now :). And what better reason to get out the mixing bowl and bake up a delightful array of treats. In a few week we have St Patricks day and Mothers day...what will you be baking? Send me some pictures to share your ideas and i'll be sharing my take on the season too :)

Furthermore, in the not too distant future we have Easter!! I have some great ideas for easter egg baking in the kitchen, so keep posted for that too. No one can resist a bit of bunny baking and eggtastic cake!

Please feel free to contact me about baking for your birthday, wedding and any celebration, or even just for ideas and inspiration. You can contact me via Twitter, Facebook and my new email redvelvetbaking@gmail.com :)

Keep me posted on your baking antics foodies.

Keep calm and surprise yourself this spring,

Love and baking wishes,
