JCP Solicitors in Swansea, breakfast patisserie tray.

We seem to be having a large amount of enquires recently to cater breakfast meetings. Fresh danish pastries, pain au chocolate, muffins, croissants, fruit salad, cereals and hot fresh coffee and tea.

This week we were asked to supply a breakfast patisserie tray with mini sweet items as a gift for a customer of JCP Solicitors in Swansea. For those who haven't dealt with JCP Solicitors and are looking for more inforamtion, check out their website. As a company JCP do alot of work in the community supporting various events in and around the Swansea area, including sponsoring the Swansea Bay Woman of the Year Awards.

It is difficult sometimes to get the message across to customers that we are more than just a cake company. We are also a catering company and we have a range of innovative catering menus for all events such as business breakfasts, directors lunches, canapes for corporate events, press launches or drinks parties.

If you are a business in South Wales and you are looking for something special and different, then give Sian a ring on 01639 638574 or email [email protected] with your enquiry.

Prices for mini patisserie like the ones shown above, start from £20 and are proving to be a lovely gift item.

Wedding Cake for Fairyhill and desserts for The Village Hotel

We have just received the most delightful feedback on a Wedding cake we supplied for a bride and groom who got married at the Fairyhill Hotel in Gower on the 5th September and for Wedding desserts we supplied for their evening function held at The Village Hotel Swansea on 13th September.

  The Wedding cake was a two tier chocolate cake decorated with chocolate cigarello's and chocolate roses. 

The email we received read as follows :

"Thank you so much for the cakes you provided myself and Owen for our Wedding on the 5th and our Wedding party on the 13th september. As soon as I saw my cake I almost cried, it really exceeded my expectations, whereas Owen just licked his lips! As well as looking stunning our cake was also delicious and not one of my guests failed to tell me! You also kindly provided all my desserts for our party on Saturday which again, were absolutely gorgeous and went down a storm.

I can't tell you enough how happy I was with everything you provided for me and I look forward to using you in the future as will many of my friends and family."

Thanks again, Lucy Lock

For the evening function Lucy and Owen ordered 150 individual cheesecakes in three flavours :

  Raspberry Cheesecake

  Chocolate Cheesecake, and

  Banoffee Cheesecake

It is always very rewarding to get personal feedback and you feel honoured to have played a small part in creating the perfect day.

Sian makes butternut squash soup

This week Sian was asked to write a full page article for the South Wales Evening Post entitled Eating on  a budget. To accompany the article, the editor sent along a videographer to film Sian preparing one of the recipes. For those who missed it, here's Sian talking through how to make butternut squash soup.

I know the title says "How to make pumpkin soup" but it really is butternut squash soup (honest).

If you have any questions with regard to video then send Sian an email and she will be only to happy to answer your questions.
