A big celebration for a big birthday! 🎂
Not a professional event, but my husband turned 50 this weekend and I made about 3 tons of salad for a big BBQ 🤣👍

I always ask him what birthday cake he would like, and this year he decided on chocolate, cherry and coffee - a new combo for me, but why not!? Layers of chocolate cake, coffee mousse, a set cherry filling and chocolate ganache didn't hold up very well in this heat so I banged it in the freezer and it made a fabulous ice cream cake! 😁

BBQ, cake and England winning their game - a great success! 🎉

Mega sandwich making session! 🥪
Yesterday my team and I made 200 filled baguettes for an event at the Pencil Factory as part of a diy packed lunch buffet. The organisers asked for all of the sandwiches to be either vegan or vegetarian, so I had fun experimenting with some delicious new vegan fillings - tried, tested and approved! 😋👌

On the menu:

-Vegan BLT with sweet and smokey Aubergine 'bacon'
-Chickpea & hummus savoury with sundried tomatoes and olives
-Roast sweet potato with a cashew cheese sauce and balsamic drizzle
-Brie, cranberry and green apple
-Cheese savoury with carrot and spring onion
-Egg and cress mayonnaise

Celebration lunch 🥳
The occasion: A 90th birthday
The celebration: a big extended family lunch! ❤️

I had the privilege of not only catering for this lunch, but also attending as a guest - which required me to jump into my transformation pod as soon as the buffet was lovingly laid out.

There were guest from 0 to 90 years old and a several dietary requirements to consider, and as a result, the menu was mostly gluten free, with many dairy free dishes too. I just love giving people the opportunity to properly enjoy a buffet despite having dietary restrictions!

On the menu:

Sliced ham and chorizo
Honey mustard baked salmon
Sausage rolls (regular and gf)
Quiche Lorraine (gf)
Roast vegetabke quiche (gf and df)

Being a mobile caterer means a lot of cooking in new and unfamiliar kitchens!
I cooked for a school residential at Knock Christian Centre in Appleby this week. A charming little spot and another kitchen to learn from scratch - but I soon got the hang of it and produced two tasty hot dinners for a lovely bunch of kids and staff.
Forgot to take one single picture of food though! 😂

Cupcakes fit for a tiny princess 💕🌸
This week I made a special cupcake delivery to a new dad's workplace, to share a bit of joy with his colleagues after the safe arrival of his daughter.
What a lovely reason to eat cake!
