Hi all


I have been in touch with a couple of WI people including Thelma (WI Surrey) who have confirmed that we are allowed to sell our cakes to the public as long as they are wrapped (clingfilm suggested) and they don't need to be fridged (so no fresh cream, etc). It would also be helpful to label ingredients -nuts, etc so we know exactly what we are selling if asked.


I have also spoken to Mark who reconfirmed that we can use some of their forum space. The space is apparently enough to fit a trestle table to display our cakes. My next step is to give the festival organisers a courtesy call just to double check they have no objections to our presence there (can't think why they would) and also to enquire about hiring a trestle table. So, further details tba.


In the meantime please let me know if 1) you are going to contribute a cake and 2) what you are going to make (we don't want to end up with 50 fruit cakes and nowt else, do we!) and 3) if you can assist on the day.


Thanks

Tracey

I have to declare an interest, I think I may be involved in the "competition" - which is a cake stall fundraising for a local community charity (a nursery).


We did it last year and we cleaned up. Probably because we were the only stall with lovely homemade cakes and we weren't charging an absolute fortune. I'm not clear what the nascent young and trendy WI are raising funds for exactly - but its probably just sour buttercream...


Last year we sold out in less than 2 hours and we had masses of stock - there's evidently a demand for delicious sugary stuff thats not being satisfied.


(Edit: I mean, its probably sour buttercream on my part - not that you're raising money for sour buttercream or that your efforts are going to involve sour buttercream :-$- I got lost in a rubbish sugar based adaption of a figure of speech)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
