"Famous" Cheese Wedding Cake


With all the excitement of Christmas I didn't mention that one of the cheese wedding cakes we created last summer appeared in Martha Stewart Weddings. The American web site is a planning portal for weddings, and includes a section about overseas and destination weddings. Rory and Lisa's Berkshire wedding is recorded beautifully; all the little details which went into the wonderful day (managed by wedding designer/planner Mary Herrington of Forever & Ever Events) and photographed by Chloe Browne of Caught the Light. It's all there, the invitations printed on baloons and vintage hankercheifs, pub-inspired table names, the dress, the shoes, the flowers, the table cloths, the place settings, and there, towards the end, is the cheese wedding cake I made!

Welcome Back

I will open the deli tomorrow for the first time this year. I love running my own shop, but have to admit I've enjoyed not setting an alarm, and not wearing all my clothes at once and still being cold. I've been hard at work today refilling the shelves with some wonderful produce. And I've been rewarded with the most beautiful sunset over the river. I'm feeling thoroughly pleased to be back and looking forward to 2012.
