May Day - 2 - June

Phew, what a first quarter of trading it's been! Inventing and re-inventing as the season warms up the fruits for the cakes. The bitter-sweetness of the Rhubarb cake has been devoured by many, what a healthy indulgence to experience! This fair root is being grown in my garden and is known for its cathartic effect and to lower the blood sugar level.

What with the hub bub of politiking last month. I'm pleased to say that I was asked to make a cake for Mr Salmond, Chieftain of the Scottish Parliament for Attacat's re-launch - the skinny carrot cake was requested and then ... he won a land slide election.

BBC Fred Mac
Being on air with Fred Macaulay was fun with my testaments being backed up by the local nutritionist saying "right now, you can not get this quality of cake in supermarkets" - watch this space...

Ok, I'm heading off to give a talk at Future Entrepreneurs Network this evening. Catch up soon.

  1. Gosh, with all that baking, tasting, sampling, distributing, marketing, schmoozing and radio performances do you have to schedule in sleep?

  2. Everything just fits into place somehow.
    I wake up, go to the kitchen and have a morning cake, samples happen throughout the day.. then I have a bed time cake with my cocoa in the evening so I guess there's a schedule but it's based around cake consumption!
