1st Time for Everything :)

Well...what an amazing month August has been!! I hope you've all been making the most of the holidays and baking your kitchens into a frenzy! Well I can assure you my kitchen has been mental, along with jam packed weeks, not to mention whats to come this September!

Mid August my best friend and I decided to hold a stall in Bakewell, and according to the feedback, we really did BAKE WELL. It was a fantastic experience, and since it was Red Velvet's first ever stall, we learnt a lot from the feedback and got amazing comments to take away and build on. Below a few of the traditional styled cakes and fun cupcakes we had for sale. For the customer market, it seemed that traditional banana breads and victoria sponges were popular, alongside bakewell cupcakes and double chocolate fudge brownies of course!!!

In fact, we enjoyed the few days so much, that we are planning on attending a Sheffield Day and Night market fair this September. September 5th brings a 12 hour market fair to the Peace Gardens in Sheffield, so do not miss it!!! There will be a multitude of crafts, edible treats and I will also be selling bakeware, courtesy of Pampered Chef. So make plans, venture down and for more information keep checking my blog or Facebook - Red Velvet Baking. It would be a delight to see your face!!

In addition, my website is well underway! I have launch plans for mid September and I will be taking cake design orders and requests from right away!! So even if it is just a question or a blog request, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be ecstatic to help!!


Keep posted for a new blog shortly, as I recently visited the capital and ate scrumptious delights!

Keep calm and keep the holiday spirits,

Love, as always

Valentines Preparation...

So in a couple of weeks it will be the celebrated day of love. Do you agree we should only celebrate it one day of the year? Maybe not, but why not take the chance to spend a little loooove time, with your loved ones. On the 14th it is also my Dads birthday, bless him, so I shall be showering lots of presents, and of course baking treats, for the whole week...so keep your peepers at the ready.

In addition, I am planning to join an online blog linking day, on the days prior to Valentines, in order to give you the opportunity to shop for delicious baking treats and ideas, through a variety of beautiful blogs. Now you wouldn't want to miss that now, would you?

As for my own personal preparation, I have started buying some pretty sprinkles and lovely little cupcake cases. I am also planning on making some beaut red velvet whoopie pies for a friend of mines Valentines ball. So keep checking for recipe updates :).

Furthermore, I'd like to direct your attention to another site that I am getting quite familiar with :) ToSouk. This website holds lots of little treats and vintage items, for you to purchase and browse. I have started putting some of my most favoured baked items on there and over the Valentines period will be taking themed orders, if any one is interested :).

Keep in touch, requests are always welcome.

Love, as always.
