Amber & Mike's Wedding
This weekend we took our sweet creations to the beautiful setting of The Hertfordshire Golf & Country Club for Amber and Mike's wedding. Amber told me she "wasn't a flower person" so (and as her colour scheme was blue and white) we made table centres using giant martini vases filled with blue sherbet and then added blue and white swirl lollipops and white icing hearts. Amber was thrilled with them and I was quite proud of them too!
Amber's cake was brilliant - I must ask her who made the cake - and it reflected the colour scheme and the lollipops beautifully. And as Amber and Mike have two Chow Chow dogs these had pride of place on the cake too.

Saffron Walden Carnival / 8DayWeekend / My Busiest Week So Far
I have seriously neglected my blogging and I have had SUCH a busy week but it's been fantastic!
I've lived in Saffron Walden for most of my life and I love this quirky little town. Every three years the Saffron Walden Round Table puts on the Carnival, and for several years it's been called the 8 Day Weekend www.8DayWeekend.co.uk . That's because it starts on the first Friday in July then runs through to the following Saturday, and this 8 Day Weekend is just full of the most amazing entertainment - Carnival procession, bed race, football competitions, Blues Brothers Night, Ladies Night with the hilarious Stavros Flatley, 80's night with all those old 80's groups performing again for our benefit, and the best of all is the Corporate Night. I'm saying its the best night because this time we were thrilled to be asked to provide sweetie trees as table decorations (all 62 of them). I never want to see another marshmallow again - well not for a while anyway!

Everyone was so complimentary about the trees though and thought they looked great. Things did get a bit messy as the evening went on and the wine flowed - marshmallow eating competitions between the tables actually got quite competitive!
It was the most amazing week put on by the Saffron Walden Round Table. These bunch of men and all their helpers from the Ladies Circle and willing volunteers from the local community really did Saffron Walden proud. Bring on Carnival 2114!!
