Lovely Jubilee!!

Busy busy busy times my friends! I've barely had time to sleep recently, let alone blog. Rubbish I know, but hey, sometimes life just all seems to happen at once. I've still found time for cake though!

June started off well, with a birthday adventure for Jackie, my mother in law. She loves cake stands almost as much as me, so it seemed only right to take her for afternoon tea at West Green House. The gardens were really impressive, but I have to be honest and tell you the afternoon tea was not especially up to much. Although the food was very tasty, the portions were minuscule, and the cake stand it came on was plain and boring, and chipped! I might just have to get in touch and see if they need some of my creations!
The mini jubilee cup cakes were rather good though, and the edible flowers on the stand were a nice touch.

The Jubilee weekend then carried on with more foody things. I watched the river pageant over at a friend's house whilst making patriotic pizzas smothered in red white and blue ingredients. Yes, that is blue mozzarella on there. Less said about the Lambrini the better....

I was lucky enough to be at Buckingham Palace nomming on a lip smackingly tasty picnic in the afternoon the following day. Check out the gorgeous chocolate cupcake that came in the picnic! How it survived the palace concert afterwards I'll never know, but it was a truly brilliant day.

Oh, and this is the fab picnic basket that it came in. God Save the Queen!!
