The week of the RHS show has arrived and we are busying ourselves with last minute preparations. I have to admit I am feeling very nervous!!! We have no idea whether we will have too much or not enough cakes to sell - it is

going to be a steep learning curve! Kathy and I had

a lovely trip to Borough Market in London last week to visit the breadmaker who will be making our petal breads. If you haven't been to Borough it is a Foodie Mecca and definitely worth a visit. We then spent the afternoon with Kitty - a lovely baker (the sister of a friend of ours) who has a warehouse kitchen just near the show and who will be baking up our cupcake recipes (whilst I can bake for 100, baking for 15,000 on my Aga was never really realistic!) It was fun introducing Kitty and her assistant to lavender, violet and rose - even if they did think we were a little crazy! If you are near Inner Temple on Thursday or Friday, do come and say hello at our stand. And keep your fingers crossed that it will not rain (unlikely I know) otherwise there will not be a very high demand for our floral ice cream (gin and lavender, rose, raspberry and elderflower sorbet - yum yum!)
aye aye stranger. good luck and all that.
