We are having a few weeks off, whilst Sammie is travelling around Europe. We thought it would be the perfect time to dip back into our back catalogue, which after 4 and a half years is quite extensive.
This week is one of Sammie's Choices - Running a Cake Business from Home.
In this episode we talk about the practicalities of running a cake business from home. Running your own business is hard enough - running a cake business can be next level with the amount of space that is needed.
Sammie and Bronya talk about their experiences and how they make their working lives easier by being organised, setting a routine and most importantly helping their families understand the pressures on them and their work.

This week is one of Sammie's Choices - Eric Lanlard
This week Bronya and Sammie are very excited to speak to world renowned patissier Eric Lanlard. After baking in the French Navy he came to London to learn English and never left.
He has many TV appearances to his name, as well as 8 books, and regularly teaches at his South London Boutique Bakery and School, Cake Boy. He is still very passionate about his craft and is always looking for new and exciting flavours.
We chat to him ahead of his appearance at the Cake and Bake Show at The Ideal Home Show Christmas.

Google Analytics changed from Universal Analytics to GA4 on July 1st, 2023. So what do you need to be doing to get the best out of your website.

This week is one of Bronya's Choices - The Ultimate Guide to Putting Flowers on Cakes.
It's a topic that we are all a bit fuzzy around the edges on, so we went straight to the experts and got our information from the Food Standards Agency! The email we got back was from @food.gov.uk - you can't get much more official than that!
Who's responsibility is it if you get given a toxic flower from a florist? Who responsibility is it to put the flowers on the cake correctly? What happens if you do it wrong? How do you do it right?
Also, rumour has it that there is a food safe florist tape on the market - we investigate.
This is a crucial episode for anyone adding fresh flowers to their cakes!
