Happy 10th of December everyone!
I was going to blog about my event on Saturday today but there were so many lovely people there that I want to mention, that I am putting it back to tomorrow so I have a bit more time.
So instead today I get to introduce you to Linda from Flutterby Bakehouse. I was entertaining at a winter wonderland, fairy party on the 1st December in Kew and the party mum had commissioned the most amazing cake! (see below) Well I just had to get in touch with the creator and then introduce her to you all.
When & why did you start Flutterby Bakehouse? (love the name by the way)
I started Flutterby (my daughter couldn’t say butterfly) Bakehouse last summer. I started the business because I’ve only got two children…….. Which means only two birthday cakes a year! Plus I wanted to share my knowledge (we do decorating classes) and teach people a skill for life. .
I studied Food Service Management in South Africa and did a little bit of sugarcraft but I would say my skills are mainly self taught and passed on from my mother and grandmother.
Children’s cakes – and preferably something different to the norm! And my preference would always be to smother it in buttercream!
At the moment I mainly bake for people in West London. I have had people coming from as far as Luton to collect a cake and people come from all over to attend my classes.
Aren’t they just amazing!
And as I got to take a bit of cake home I can tell you they taste as good as they look!
