This week at Deerly Beloved Bakery!

What a busy week! No sooner was the Veggie Fair over I was back in the kitchen baking my weekly orders for the cafes I supply! On Thursday I had to make a Gruffalo cake topper for a very special little boys who's 3rd birthday it is soon, more photos to come of the whole cake and the party! Then it was the Norwich Makers Market so I was baking away in a boiling kitchen all day on Friday, although there is no where I would rather be than baking and making exciting new treats, it is extra hard when it's 30c outside!
Then on my day off Kyle and I booked the venue for our very small but beautiful civil wedding for next year! We took my mum along with us to have a look at the venue and she had a little cry, it as very emotional! We then got a letter through to say it was all booked and it was very weird but exciting to read my name next to the word bride! We are also adding a new addition to our family...a baby girl schnauzer puppy! She won't be born for a little while yet but we can't wait to have a little dog as we have both grown up with dogs our whole life and love them very much, I also hope it will curb Kyle's habit of stopping everyone he meets who has a dog!!!
Also This week Biddy's Tea Room has opened a new take away shop downstairs and will be having our savoury tarts and more cakes from our range!!! This has been met with great excitement from my customers so thankyou! Vegans Rock!

Norwich Veggie Fayre 2012 and July's Vegan Get Together!

We are just back in from the Norwich Veggie Fayre 2012 and we had the most amazing time! We met some amazing people from Sea Shepherd, The Black Fish, Norwich Food Cycle and Norwich Farm Share, it makes you feel better to know there are others trying to make the world a better place! There were lots of yummy samples, we had amazing chats with customers and I saw a lot of my fellow 'Vegan Get Together' gang! I am really sorry to everyone who came along at around 4pm to find we had sold out of our cakes! We will be having a stall next Saturday at the Norwich Makers Market at St Thomas Church Hall to make up for it! Also a big thanks to Miranda, Nikki and Glen for organising today's amazing fayre! Well done guys!
Tuesday saw this months Vegan Get Together with more yummy treats, chat and a new gang member Jane! It was really great fun and once again I ate far too much! I will say good bye for now and leave you with some pictures of today's fayre and some of the yummy treats from the Vegan Get Together!

A week of birthdays!

This week has been a busy week for birthdays in the Deerly Beloved Bakery clan! It was my step dads 40th  birthday on Sunday and I made him a chocolate torte cake and decorated it with some little figures of all his and my mum's pets! He was very pleased with it and had enough cake to take to work all week in his packed lunches! Then on Tuesday it was my niece Vada's birthday! She has changed a lot since last year! But her love of rainbow colours hasn't changed since turning into a teenager! She had been asking for a rainbow cake for a little while so I made her one, and it was a 6 layer monster! Even though she had the horrible task of eating cake for breakfast all week, I think she liked it! 

This week!
