Honey Bees at the Cakery

Well, I've been saying for a while that we'll soon be able to use our own Spotty Dog honey in all our cakes and biscuits and we are now one step closer! We now have two lovely bee hives-our little bees will not be arriving until next month but we are already very very excited. We're just getting them all prepared and will be painting them soon so they look the part!

Cake of the Week at the Brilliant Belsay Shop

The brilliant Belsay Shop in Belsay, Northumberland has now launched it's 'Cake of the Week' for their Summer customers! Each week I'm making a different bespoke cake which you can enjoy with a proper cup of tea and a sit down outside the lovely shop. 


I've been leafing through my massive pile of cook books and dreaming up new recipes-bliss! We've got Courgette and Cinnamon  coming up this week so if you're around and about, go and buy a slice!

The Spotty Dog Wheels

Well, it's been a busy few months so I thought I better update you! We are now the proud owners of our very own Spotty Dog delivery van. She's decked out with red and white polka dot bunting and our very cute logo and I think she looks so sweet! More to the point, there's loads of room in the back for all of our cake deliveries which is making life so much easier. 

Also, we're about to get our first hive of bees which we are so excited about-it means we can start using our own honey in our recipes (provided we have some very efficient little bees...!)

Happy Valentines

I can't believe it's nearly the 14th of February again and, as it happens, we've got the perfect little present for your Valentines too! Our gorgeous Canoodle Doodle biscuits (oaty shortbread hearts dipped in the most beautiful milk chocolate) come in either packs of 6 or in glass jars and we guarantee they'll be well received! Your goodies will be packaged in red tissue paper and tied with red ribbon before being posted out in our Spotty Dog cardboard boxes, straight to the door of your loved one-just login to www.notonthehighstreet.com or www.loveyourlarder.com to order yours!

Wishing you a Happy Christmas and New Year!

It's been a mad rush towards the end of 2011 to get all my Christmas orders made and delivered -but we did it! And we've even had time to have a little rest now as well. Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout the year-it's just gone in a total flash there's been so much going on. Keep ordering those cakes and have a great 2012!
