wonderful winter weddings!

Well the snow may have gone for a wee while, but there's still a bit of a nip in the air! Lets hope the nip in the air is you raising a glass to toast the happy couple!! Oh yes, the start of the year is just as good as any to get hitched, and we are not so far from Valentine's day after all!!

Here are some happy couples who are enjoying a romantic wintertime, lets send them warm wishes and warm woolies!!

Now in this wintery chilly weather you would think gloves would be an essential bit of kit. However i know a lady who would not thank you for a pair of mittens.... 'Why ever not?' i hear you ask? 'Not even pretty pink ones with reindeer on?' 'Oh no' says i.... because you see, said lady could not perform such amazing feats of brain freezing knotwork if her digits were all wrapped up in cosy lambswool.... She is a knotter of great talent and addiction, and is just not happy unless busy creating some knotty magic, which in all other hands would certainly be a tangle....

She knows much about knots; she has funny names for them and everything! Best of all she makes them beautiful and you can wear them! Yes!! People will ask you wherever did you get that pendant or bracelet? ...and if you choose you could say 'I'm knot going to tell you'... or you could say 'knot on the high street', or if you were especially generous you could let them into the secret, but i suggest only do this in exchange for chocolate... so if you follow this link don't forget, my favourite is Galaxy.....!!! www.shelladams.co.uk

happy new year!

I do hope 2011 brings you lots of wonderful things, hey maybe wedding bells if you have found yourself here on the cake top blog!! Orders now being taken for 2011 so get in touch!!

Yes, so that's me back to work after a wee break over Christmas and New Year. I made more real cake at festive time than at any other time of the year... there were a few choccie cakes of various levels of success, a pavlova, of sorts.... (which without the aid of an electric whisk i just didn't have enough mustle for!) and some fruit cakes with penguins on for Christmas. In fact this year i had the ladies of the Invergarry Women's Institude making penguins and reindeer!!

.....but no Santa i thought, and i started to wonder what Santa does at new year.... relax of course, get his boots off, maybe already he's writing his 'to do' list for 2011????
