Mezzanine floor is up

The builders only picked up the steel RSJ's on Monday afternoon and in less than a week they have already completed the installation of the mezzanine floor. It is incredible to watch how quickly things are progressing. The electricians will be on site next week for "first fix" and also the partition walls will be going up.

 

If you are looking for a professional, well organised building services team then speak to Nigel or Wayne from CGL Services.

These guys know what they are doing.

Great Taste Awards Products a hit at Christmas

The Frangipane Mince Pie count is finally in.

Officially we made 7,200 of our Great Taste Award winning frangipane mince pies over the Christmas period which equates to 600 boxes. We also sold 55 boxes of our award winning petit four Welsh Cakes. The top selling dessert was our White Chocolate and Raspberry Ripple Cheesecake.

 

We have had lots of lovely comments from customers who gave our products as gifts for Christmas. This was an email I received yesterday.

 It was titled :SUPERB! What a product and super presentation.

"I go to a cafe in Mumbles called Theos, where I was asked to try your mince pies and was so impressed with the texture and flavour I ordered a box to take away for Christmas and a box of Welsh Cakes. Unfortunately I was taken ill and did not go away, and I am afraid I ate the boxes of your goodies I had intend for presents to others. I AM SO GLAD I DID! The mince pies and cakes were SO DELICIOUS and I also have to commend you on your packaging and design choice. Quite Superb. Your product would grace Harrods and Fortum and Mason. Quite quite delicious. I wish you well with your business.

Thank you". Mrs Lawmary Champion

What a lovely email to receive. It really would be wonderful to one day make products for Fortum and Mason and certainly when we open the La Creme Centre of Excellence this will be one of our aims.

The Gower Golf Club is one of a number of fantastic golf courses in the Swansea area and has great facilities for holding Wedding ceremonies.

Fire Engine Cake is Ace

Simon's latest cake is an ace Fire Engine for Rhys 4th Birthday.

 

Having spent hours designing and shaping his engine, Simon didn't have any time left to comb his hair - so sorry for the way he looks in the picture.
