Lakeview Manor wedding fayre

I am really sorry I haven't blogged for a while, I have been so busy, obviously a good thing but it means that this is the first time I have been able to sit at the computer since the wedding fayre at Lakeview Manor on Sunday.
I was really prepared for the fayre, I had spent quite a lot of time on Saturday going over and over what I had done, what I needed to take etc, until I felt I could do no more. We got up early Sunday morning, my sister and my mom come with me, to help and support me (very much appreciated) and so my sister said she would drive. We picked up my mom at 8am, the fayre was set to start at 10.30am and although it doesn't take me ages to set up, I was planning on being there at around 9am. We were making really good time, even talking about stopping somewhere for breakfast, when one the tyres on my sister's car got a puncture and we had to pull into the lay by. We all got out to look and it was completely flat, it needed changing. Well, we became complete girly girls, not the usual independent women we are normally. We managed to get the spare tyre out of the boot (which happened to be under all me cakes, forcing us to stack boxes of cakes on the side of the road) and called the breakdown company to come and change it. It took and hour for him to come and then about 2 minutes for him to change it. We managed to get there at 10.40am, which wasn't too bad, all things considered, and there wasn't any brides there yet, but I did feel like a bit of an idiot rushing to set up.
The rest of the day went really well. We met some lovely people, both potential customers and other exhibitors.

This is a full picture of our table, I wanted a general spring/summer feel and I think I achieved what I set out to do. Over the next few days I will be highlighting some of the cakes I did for the show.
I am exhibiting at The Lavender House Hotel on Sunday,  I still have lots of work to do for that, so I better get back to work.

Speak to you soon,
