This week we are talking about putting fresh 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!

The working title for this episode was actually - What to do when life goes tits up!
We've all been there, we're trundling through life and business quite happily and then something happens that wasn't planned. What can we do to protect ourselves and our business when things don't go as we excepted it to?
Sammie and Bronya chat through their recent experiences and how they dealt with things, and if there was anything else they could have done differently.

This episode is NOT our strong point, but we have tried to tackle it anyway. We are talking Google Analytics Today!
As a cake maker what are the analytics you need to look at and how do you get there?
Google Analytics changes for Universal Analytics to GA4 in July 1st. So what do you need to be doing to get the best out of your website.

We return after out 2 week break with an IN PERSON interview with Rob from Mr Baker's Cake School.
Rob invited us to his stunning school in Fareham in Hampshire and we sat and talked about how he got into the business and how his cake career has developed to owning and running his own school.
He's had an interesting journey, different from most cake makers, which with a lot of hard work has got him to where he is today.

Today we interview Enrique from Have Some Cake. After listening to one of our episodes after Bronya said his work 'wasn't romantic' he proved her wrong with an instagram post with some of the most beautifully romantic cakes you've ever seen. However, his cakes are not 'classically' romantic. He describes his style as anti-romantic.
His cake are striking, structural, flowing and organic all at the same time. He explains his background and how he developed his style. He tells us about is favourite flavours. He also tells us about the classes he'll be teaching this year.
