Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus - Happy St. Davids Day to everyone! Here's to a wonderful March.

I wonder if our hens are the most pampered & spoiled hens around? But then decided I didn't care because the eggs they are providing for us are wonderful & are guaranteed to make the cakes we bake this year the best yet - starting with our Bara Brith and Welsh Cakes for tomorrow!

To all those ladies popping the big question today - we can provide buffet catering, engagement & wedding cakes, wedding favours etc. Give us a call to discuss your ideas! Miss Froggy went a-courtin' she did ride tra-la...!

Isn't it great when a plan comes together? Well that's what happened with our cupcake birthday cake. At one point I wasn't sure it was going to work - chocolate cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes, strawberry cupcakes & myriad colourfull toppings but once assembled on the holder it looked almost magical! And the best bit? Everybody's individual cake was a little bit different & people could choose what they wanted. I think we'll be doing many more of these - great for children's parties in particular!

Wow, it's been a very busy week starting with the Craft Fair last Saturday at the White House Hotel in Llandudno. Met lots of wonderful crafts people there including Sam from Finspire who had a rather lovely handcrafted bag that caught my eye. We'll be back there on 17th March so you can pop in to see what gifts we have specially for Mothers Day!

A delicious new batch of mouth-watering fudge (and other tasty morsels) will be available at the forthcoming Craft Fair at The White House Hotel on Saturday 18 February 2012

Been a busy morning so far. Our hens have developed their own olympic games with the motto - Highest, Fastest, Longest. Who can fly the Highest over the fences, run the Fastest away from us & stay hidden for Longest! Oh the joys of having our own eggs!! Despite this we've managed to make a batch of our popular Manuka Honey Lip Balm. All honey has antiseptic and antibacterial properties and is known for its healing and protective elements Studies on the benefits provided by Manuka Honey, have shown that it contains an ingredient with powerful antibacterial, anti microbial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti fungal properties. Many people who buy this lip balm say that it is active in fighting cold sores as well as providing a protective salve.

In the process of making some Elderflower and Nettle soap in readiness for next weekends fair at the White House Hotel in Llandudno. Nettle naturally stimulates the circulation whilst also offering gentle antiseptic and diuretic qualities. The Elderflower is redolent of balmy summer days. Altogether the soap smells wonderful! It will be on special offer at only £2.50 per bar along with other specially produced soaps. Come and pay us a visit and treat yourself.

Getting things ready for our next Fair which will be at the White House Hotel, Llandudno on 18th Feb. Come & say hello - we love to chat to friends old & new!

Talk about taking it to the edge - phew! Congratulations Wales - it's made all those hours cooking Welsh Cakes on a hot stone worth it! Let's hope it continues!
