It just occurred to me at 11pm tonight (7th Dec) that I haven't posted the Christmas Cake brochure on the blog as of yet.
Sian is talking about closing the books this Friday - I think I might be in trouble!!
Anyway - take a look to see if there is anything you would like to order and I will sweet talk The Boss to keep the order book open as long as possible.

Pupils from St.Joseph's Comprehensive School in Port Talbot visited our Centre of Excellence today. They had came to look at "Health & Safety" in the workplace as part of their GSCE Hospitality and Catering course work.
Whilst they were there, Sian give them all an assignment to decorate Christmas Cup Cakes and the pupils took to the challenge and produced some very interesting designs.
The pupils were very polite and extremely interested in "Cup Cake Art" and it was an absolute pleasure to have them visit.
Tuesday this week, we were taken out to lunch at the Marriott Hotel in Swansea to be awarded the title of South Wales Evening Post Business of the Month for December.
We were both honoured to accept the award on behalf of all our staff who have work so hard this year to make La Creme Patisserie a success story.
We had a very special visitor to our Centre of Excellence on the Baglan Moors in Port Talbot today. The Leader of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Ali Thomas, called in to see how our new unit was progressing and to offer his support and encouragement for all our future ventures.
Accompanying the Leader were members of the Economic Development department for NPT Council, who had been instrumental in helping our business over the last 3 years. The leader commented how please he was to see the ongoing success of our business. He also thanked the economic development team for the great work they are doing to support and promote economic prosperity in the region.
As a parting gift we gave Ali a box of our Great Taste Award Winning Frangipane Mince Pies.
He has promised to spread the word about how good they are.
Canada Lodge is a stone built lodge sitting in private grounds overlooking Canada Lake. It can be found on the outskirts of Creigiau village, a few miles northwest of Cardiff and a few miles from J34 of the M4. It is a most beautiful venue for a Wedding Ceremony and this weekend it played host to the Wedding of Alun and Anna.
Alun & Anna choose a 3 tier ivory wedding cake with their names hand written across the cake in autumn orange.
We also made chocolate truffle Wedding Favours for the adults and chocolate lollipops for the children.
Check out our Wedding cake gallery to see more examples of our contemporary Wedding Cake designs.
Our latest exhibition took us to the Contemporary Wedding Show at The Liberty Stadium in Swansea on Sunday 15th November. There was a large crowd all day long and Sian, Tonya & Melania were all "caked out" at the end of the day.
The stand looked amazing and there was lots of interest from brides to be. The show seemed to attract people from all across South Wales including Llanelli, Swansea, neath, Port Talbot, Bridgend and Porthcawl.
If anyone is interested in booking a consultation, then either send an email to [email protected] or telephone the patisserie on 01639 638574.

A surprise was in store for us when we delivered our latest Wedding Cake creation to Margam Orangery last friday.
Sian had made a 3 tier ivory wedding cake with ivory roses and diamante diamonds. The room had been decorated with an autumn theme and the cake looked amazing in the beautiful Orangery setting.
Having set up the cake our eye was drawn to a movement at the end of the room. Sian went to investigate and before we knew what was happening she had been stunned....
Rest assured the effects were only temporary and Sian has suffered no permanent damage.
Luckily there was a doctor in the house.
