Primrose Hill Bakery

Lovely day in Primrose Hill and catching up with friends over green tea and sugary snacks. Primrose Hill Bakery has an idyllic setting, delicious cupcakes, cool magazines to glance over. One problem is there lack of seating, this is an in demand cupcake emporium with only three tables and a que that goes the length of the cafe!

Scarface

This is my new nickname according to a work mate. Today I managed to get four injuries, three of which were burns the most recent by a hot tray full of scallop rosemary skewers which burned me in the neck as I turned around- lovely.

My Omeli Alice

Omeli in German means Grandma so we call her Omeli. Here she is in her youth looking beautiful. On the right she sits in the garden with her dad and mum Italian mum who was something ridiculous like 4ft!

Macarooni

Macaroon and Satc day. These will be the basis of my upcoming stall in Borough Market [if they want me, sent of application today]. Omeli's will be a Macaroon obsessed stall all by the Recipe of my Swiss Omeli.

Ice-cream Boutique at Selfridges!

Maybe just novelty but this new boutique in the ultralounge of Selfridges sells crazy sweet and savoury ice-creams, they even have this thing called a SexPistol which is Viagra Ice-cream served in a water gun- wonder if it works! These Ice-creamists are real-life Wonkers by the sounds of it! Must go asap for a complimentary first scoop!

a sunday of baking

Today I bought a whole box of old passionfruits for £3 and so set about making sweet treats for my sister's boss who had given us some festival tickets. Passionfruit cheesecakes. passionfruit

topped cupcakes and a few other inventions for good measure. Chocolate buttons was one idea which led to a run in with my mum. I tried to convert a plain bisquit recipe for one with chocolate, I used half the amount of sugar thinking the chocolate I was adding would add the rest of the sweetness-I was wrong, mum got very upset for the lost buttons. All was reconciled with a little melted chocolate brushed on at the end to ensure the sweet taste mum thought necessary. macaroons, chocolate buttons, passionfruit cheescake, cupcakes and blueberry muffins in a wooden box=heaven. Now off to watch the September Issue with Bobby, finishing off a lovely productive Sunday afternoon.
