Every weekend, from now until Christmas, at the Cobbled Yard in Stoke Newington is a little pop-up shop called, originally, Pop-Up Shop. There’s some brilliant things for sale there including some fabulous Joseph Joseph kitchenware, Pantone mugs and a whole host of great prints, fun tea towels and some wonderful last minute Christmas gifts. There’s even a Santa’s grotto. If you find yourself in the area this weekend and Monday and Tuesday, do come along and have a look around.
I shall be there selling cakes along with a couple of friends where we are collectivity called the Pop Tarts (although I’m currently campaigning for a name change to The Arse Biscuits). We’ve been doing pretty well these past couple of weeks and I have to say that the quality of our food is most excellent. We are awesome. I’ve been providing a number of cakes, two of which are shown below. Red velvet with a green butter-cream icing and a mini Christmas cake.
They’re quite tasty! I’ll also try and post Vinnie’s amazing chili and chocolate brownie and Sarah’s lavender and lemon cake recipes if and when I get them too.





No way! That chili choc brownie recipe is going with me to the grave!
Never! I’ll get that recipie off you even if it’s the last thing I do!
