Cakes, Buffets, TV and Radio!
It’s nearly April … where’s the time gone?? It’s been so busy here at Scrumptillious HQ. We had a pretty quiet Christmas and first two weeks of January then it seemed to go ballistic and I’m only just starting to catch up!
We won a contract to provide the catering for a local company’s meetings and events and we’re averaging 2-3 buffets a week for them which, on top of the other business clients we have, means we do at least one buffet lunch every day of the week. On top of that, we’ve been inundated with private catering so often do hot/cold/finger buffets at weekends for parties etc. And of course, we still run the cafe at Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers in Nantwich on Thursdays for sale day.
Talking of which, the BBC’s Bargain Hunt team are back filming there on 30th and 
31st March so if you want to see yourself on TV, come along and watch the auction. We’ll have some yummy food in the cafe and, as before, we’ll be catering for Tim Wonnacott and his team. Last time we did some cupcakes with pics of Tim and his experts on them which went down exceedingly well!
It’s been hectic on the cake front too with the first of 28 weddings we have in the diary between now and October, plus lots of celebration cakes for various events and cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. We’re now gearing up for Mothering Sunday on 3rd April with a mountain of orders to complete. See below for some of the diverse orders I’ve undertaken recently.
Since I last blogged, waaaaay back in October, I’ve been on the TV on Sky’s 
Wedding channel. The programme is “The Great Cake Bake” and was filmed back in October but was shown a few weeks ago. You can see it here. And look out for Sue and me in the opening shots of all the episodes in series 2!
On the subject of media, I’ve become involved with RedShift Radio, a fabulous radio station which is currently broadcasting via the ‘net but which will shortly be on 87.7FM for a month from 4th April. I present a food and lifestyle show every Tuesday between 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm called “The Good Life” and for the duration of the FM broadcast I’ll also be presenting the Drivetime Show every Wednesday with the lovely Sharon Burrows from Hullabaloo Kids.
Finally, don’t forget Farmers’ Market THIS SATURDAY in Nantwich Town Square, and if you want to orders cakes for your mum for Mothering Sunday on 9th April, please let me know as soon as possible so I can fit you in the diary! Delivery is free within 5 miles of Nantwich so get ordering!
That’s all for now. Helen
