It’s Been Media Week!

Pops 1915-2010

It’s actually been a very strange week here at Scrumptillious.  It began in the early hours of Monday morning with the sad news that my father-in-law had passed away after a fall at home.  He was very nearly 95 and lived at home until almost the very end and I was so pleased he’d never had to go into a care home.

Contrast that with the rest of the week.  We were contacted a couple of weeks ago by Wedding TV who asked us to take part in one of their shows, The Great Cake Bake.  The idea is that a bride & groom give their wedding brief to three different cake designers who each come up with their interpretation of it.  The couple pick their favourite designer based on an initial meeting but - and here’s the jeopardy – they don’t actually get to see the cake until their wedding day. 

As we don’t have business premises (yet) and don’t have any kind of showroom, Sue and I decided we urgently needed some mocked up wedding cakes.  So between Tuesday morning and Thursday morning, we managed to mock up 4 wedding cakes!  If only it were so easy to do the real things!

Thursday then saw us being filmed decorating some cakes and being interviewed, and in two weeks’ time we’ll be filmed again with the wedding couple.  The show will be aired sometime in 2011 – watch this space!

Then yesterday (Friday) I took part in a live radio show on new local internet station Red Shift Radio. Christine Fyffe of  the fabulous women’s website www.womensthoughts.co.uk  asked me to take part in the programme that they sponsor called Scarlet Women, broadcast every Friday between 12pm and 2pm.  Well we had a riot.  Christine and Anne were hilarious; Liz Southall was the presenter and she and fitness expert Emma Foden were desperately trying to keep it all together.  Listen again to the repeat this Sunday 24th October between 4pm and 6pm.

And finally, today is my daughter Phoebe’s 10th birthday.  Happy Birthday Phoebs xxxx
