wheels and squeals!

Well its September here in caketopland and we'll soon be waving cheerio to the 'summer' that we nearly had... A bit of a damp one here this year, but still there was a few good days of sun, at least i think there was... i'm almost sure of it..... Oh yes indeed!! One such glorious day was the wedding of two lovely seaside living folk and for a change i made the cake top AND attended the wedding! Oh yes! I am so used to posting off caketops to far and wide, that it was quite a new experience to be there in the same room as one! It was a lovely day, not just with it being a rare sunny one, not a cloud in the sky, but a happy day and a happy vibe all round. The bride and groom had sent out invitations where they were pictured cruising along on a moped... uh oh i thought when i got mine.... how on earth can i make a moped.....oh, i tell ya, i almost left the country, but no!! Instead i attempted the challenge and thankfully the two wheels stuck to the road and i'm glad to say no one fell off.....

Congratulations to Milly and Ally, and thanks for a lovely day at your wedding......oh and while we're at it, let's wish a wheelly good time to the 'webmaster'.... She is currently touring Scotland in some sort of wee sporty kit car... i am afraid i have been told but it went in one ear and straight back out the other, i can't tell you what sort of car it is.... It's em... blue.. it's got four wheels but no roof....oooh but its really cool!! Wheelly wheelly cool.....lets hope for a late sunny summer for the webmaster and Mr W, as so far their waterproofs have been well worn!!

Hey have you noticed there is a theme to this blog entry?? Could it be something round and not square?? Yes i knew you'd get it eventually!! Wheels!! I have been thinking 'wheels' for weeks now and have been on the search for the perfect wheel for a wheelchair!! It is tricky.... Making wheels from scratch is harder that you may think... there are lots of model wheels on the web sold for everything from model railways to robot warring..... but so far i haven't found the elusive sport wheelchair wheel, triple spoked and sleek, and just the right size for a caketop..... Still, i do have some very nice wheels in my collection that do the job pretty good i hope...

Good catch!

Oh it's been a busy old week here in caketopland! It must be June. So far, sunny weather for all to enjoy. Oh I remember the days when it was snow all over the country and no one could get to work and, oh! watch out for that snowball... ooops too late.... and now it's sun everywhere. Don't forget the sunscreen, and that nice straw cowboy hat I saw you wearing... and picnics.... and if you happen to have a secret swimming spot, (some folks do, you know) keep it secret, keep it safe!!!
.
I wonder if there are fish in it? If there are I know a young fellow from caketopland who'd want to know the secret. Mind you, he's got a fish on the line already, well done that man!

.

I must appologise as I have been very bad at keeping on top of the emails just lately. There's just not enough hours in even the longest of June days. I promise to do better. Just in case you have an urgent query you can always give me a bell. Leave a message if I don't get to the phone in time- sometimes I'm gluing, doing the post, having lunch or, well, answering emails.....

.

There is a FAQ page on the website which the webmaster edited using her great talents of attention to detail, excellent vocab and translation from the 'Helen', to make the complexities of personalised cake top ordering infinitely easier to understand. That may help. Sometimes it's hard to know where to start eh? It also explains the basics like, how big are they? What are they made of? How do I pay?

.

The webmaster is working on the new caketops site, so let us know if you have any feedback on the FAQ page or any other part of the site that we could improve on.

.

I do hope you're having a lovely sunny June day today!

P.S.

Would you believe I can almost call myself a 'runner' ? Thanks to Coach Jenny over at Invergarry Lodge I have earned myself a place in history and a lovely shiny medal for my trouble, running 10K in the glorious time of 66 minutes. If it hadn't been so hot that day it probably would have taken us half the time.... not. Anyway, my first race and in the beautiful surroundings of sunny Skye. Hooray!
