Tea Party-tastic!

My gorgeous friend Zoe, owner of Bake-A-Boo in West Hampstead, released her first book yesterday! Hoorah! This is very exciting. It includes not 1.... not 2... but 80 of the shop's most popular cakes & bakes! Seriously, I'm not telling you this because they *look* nice, I've actually tried them, so you can trust me when I say Zoe's cakes are down right YUM, and this is one baking book your collection won't be complete without.

It also shows you how to put on the perfect tea party spread including themed menus and decoration ideas! If you've seen the interior of Bake-A-Boo (picture below), you'll know that this girl is one hell of an interior decorator to boot... every time I go in I literally spend half the time staring and drooling, mumbling something about it being "so prettyyyy". And Bake-a-Boo's book has a twist, they make an amazing range of "speciality cakes and treats free from the common allergens of wheat, gluten and dairy, suitable for coeliacs, and allergy and intolerance sufferers", and as someone who has suffered with intolerances, I can tell you these cakes are a God send for anyone feeling like they always miss out on indulgences like cakes & biscuits!



Even if you don't live in London and can't make it to the bakery, Zoe's book allows you to re-create her experience at home, so what are you waiting for! Get your copy HERE for £14.99 (bargainous).

At this point it makes total sense to tell you about Love Miss Daisy's new little project... that's right people, we've only gone and started MAKING vintage cake stands for y'all. We have SO much vintage crockery at LMD HQ, and we're constantly being asked for 1950's cake stands, so we thought.... we'll flipping well make them for you! They will be hitting the website soon, and we will be taking orders, you can request how many tiers you'd like and whether you'd like a teacup or jug on top for jams, cream or flowers etc. So, in the form of an incredible photograph taken by Corinne who writes Used And Abused Vintage, we give you Love Miss Daisy Tea Party Tiers! Do you love them? They range from £25 to £65.

As well as these little beauties, you'll also be seeing our hand made scented vintage tea-cup candles on the website very soon... the perfect baby shower/birthday/Christmas present for your vintage loving friends & family members.

So what on earth are you waiting for? Go get Bake-a-Boo's book and a Love Miss Daisy tea party tier, and put on a spread! If you'd like to put an order in for a cake stand, just give us a shout! Until next time... Laura x
