Oooh, I'm so excited! I've just placed an order with one of the best on-line suppliers in the states who make copper cookie cutters. I recently did an iced biscuit course in London at The Cake Parlour with Zoe Clark. I had a great time and Zoe was really generous with her time and biscuits. There was only one other person there, who trumped my 400 mile round trip quite substantially when she said she had come from Brazil! I came home laden down with cookies and confirmation that I have the required skills to branch out into biscuit (cookies for the british!) world. I will be offering iced biscuits as wedding favours, birthday party treats and messages through the post such as 'I Love You'. I don't know if anyone else suffers from the over-thinking problem as I do, but earlier this week I woke up about half an hour after I had gone to sleep, sitting bolt upright, dreaming that an iced biscuit was flying at me in a similar way to how the ghost of Jacob Marley appeared to Scrooge in the old version of A Christmas Carol!! so I decided that the time for thinking was over...hence the cookie cutter order. I have also ordered some american food colours, so can't wait to get them and have a play. I would love to say that I shall make my fortune in the cake business, but honestly I get so much pleasure out of tracking down gorgeous cake equipment and going on courses to perfect my craft that I may as well class myself as a not-for-profit organisation!! One day I'll earn more than I spend, but not this week......but that's ok, because I have the one thing that is essential to all cake makers...a long suffering, but very understanding lovely husband Thank you for reading. I shall post some pictures when I receive my parcel x |
