Dexter's Christening Cake is in Hello Magazine

Last weekend Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson's son Dexter was christened and guess who was asked to bake the christening cake. Sian made dessert canapes for the evening event held at the couple's home and also the christening cake for Dexter. The whole of the day was captured by Hello magazine and Page 75 of this weeks Hello magazine has a picture of Charlotte, Gavin and Dexter cutting the cake.

We are absolutely delighted to bake a cake for two such inspirational national figures and judging by the pictures two natural and devoted parents.

Plus coming from Neath we are Ospreys fans and Gavin is a genius.

Sian and Mal Pope on BBC Wales

Latest news.

Sian has been asked to go onto Radio Wales on Tuesday 1st September at 11.00am to be interviewed by Mal Pope who is sitting in on the Jamie and Louise programme.

Many years ago when we lived in London and Sian worked for Tesco's as a Home Economist, Sian did a number of radio programmes with Dale Winton (before he became famous) on Radio Hertfordshire. Cooking on air involved alot of banging tins  but it was always good fun.

This time Sian is going to take along some piping bags and see if Mal can decorate a cup cake.

Who knows this could be the start of something big....

Orange & Cream 4 tier Wedding Cake

The Glynclydach hotel in Neath was host on Sunday night to a Wedding celebration for a Swansea couple and the bride wanted a cream 4 tier wedding cake decorated in Orange. The cake was a last minute idea for the party with the couple having got married aboard the previous week.

Sian had to work through the night to get the cake finished in time but it looked absolutely beautiful and the bride and her mother were delighted.

Dinosaur 4th Birthday Cake

Happy 4th Birthday Ella.

Hannah make this dinosaur model and we all think that it looks fab.

We are getting more and more requests for novelty birthday cakes from Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot, Bridgend and Porthcawl so please don't leave it too late to order.

The latest enquiry we had on Friday was for a cake shaped like a Ford Capri.

The problem is that we must be employing young staff because only Sian and I knew what a Capri was.... It doesn't half make you feel old.
