Chocolate Anyone??

So the theme of this week's Blog is err CHOCOLATE!

I received an email from one of our many suppliers about this week being Chocolate week....What a fantastic idea and excuse to eat Chocolate!! So off I go and eat three dark Chocolate Florentines, Yummy.....

Vincenzo came into the office during my binge and asked what I was doing? Chocolate I mumble, This week is chocolate week. Flakes of chocolate and almond float out of my mouth.  A quizzical looking Vincenzo walked out .Two hours later I was presented with the above cake, by a now beaming Vinnie!

 Chocolate Stars cover what is a very chocolaty filling of bitter chocolate butter-cream, raspberries and Chocolate Sponge...Is there no end to chocolate! A question pops into my head. If I eat a slice of this is it too much after three Florentines.... The dilemma is set, answers on a postcard or email to me please. The first person to come up with a good excuse wins one of these creations and oh what can we call it??

Wow I think chocolate week has started on a high!! Or is it just me that is?

Oh my!! Where has the time and the Summer gone?

Yes, I know , I know I can't believe it either the Summer has gone. It's been far too Long since I posted

Well what's been going on with us?  Fairy Dust and fantasy.... Weddings galore, fun and lots of Sweet things... See for yourself below!

Anna and Vincenzo have been up to their old tricks and the results are quite good if I do say so myself...But don't tell them that!

Its also now official we have a new team member. Louise  has joined our fold. For better or worse richer or Poorer she is right here in the flesh I promise you! so far she has be toiling away at some new recipies for us...: Carrot Cake; Chocolate and Yoghurt cake; Apple and Walnut Cake; Banana Cake and a new take on Florentines are all the rage here right now.

What's next Lundi??? oops I think she has fallen asleep must have been all that hard work earlier!

anyhow Till next time folks.. It won't be too long Errrr Promise.....

Oops I am sure I have been here before?

Well after much debate here i am again to report on my mission to save the planet one cake at a time!

Its has been a while but its difficult saving the world don't you know!! Since I was last here I have walked 300 Km for Charity, climbed a mountain and eaten so much cake I don't know where the time has gone!

Back in the kitchen here its been all go, my new favourite dessert right now has to be Vincenzo's Lemon Tart. Tangy whilst creamy and oh so nice with an espresso! Though Anna has been doing a fair trade in Cup Cakes: I must admit I wasn't to sure which pikkie to use but the cup cake won out, well basically because i ate the lemon Tart before I could take its picture:)

So here's to one and all dont forget we are here all Summer if you need some cake advice or maybe even something to sweet to munch on!
