Every year we go to Cammas Hall for strawberries! This time of year, Robin is always into peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, we always are craving fruit, and the fruit itself is ripe for the picking. Cammas Hall is our local farm, which we attend throughout the year for pumpkin picking and other seasonal events, so we were excited to head out and see how the strawberries have done this year.

Every month Amelia and I go along to a cupcake class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie, who keeps coming up with new designs! Amelia and I really love having a little time once a month, that’s just the two of us! But, for this class (and the next one) Amelia has invited along some friends as it’s nearing the end of the school year and we have such a packed summer. (Plus, Jennie is taking the summer off, so we wanted to get some extra cupcake designing in.) The Taste of Asian Cupcake Class is a new one, with designs all around slightly Asian themes.

Every month, Amelia and I carve out some time to do a cupcake class. We’ve been doing this for well over a year now. It’s just such a lovely way to have one-on-one time with Amelia, and alongside that, we’ve become friends with a lot of the other regulars there and love doing little updates on our lives. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always creating new classes and designs, so there is always something new for us to look forward to creating. This was doubly so when she announced her new Bento Box Cupcake Classes, which have a few cupcakes along with a mini-cake within the box that we also got to decorate. This one was the Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class!

The Smoke and Fire Festival is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year, returning with the UK’s largest BBQ and outdoor cooking festival to Maldon Essex! On August 15th and 16th, there will be a massive festival with all of the food, music, and entertainment one could want.
Dann and I previously enjoyed the Smoke and Fire Festival in Maldon along with their Ascot event the year prior. This year, they have announced that there will be live fire cooking demonstrations from the likes of Sam and Shauna, who are Welsh-based BBQ experts, cookbook authors, and stars of the BBC series Sam and Shauna’s Big Cook-Out, alongside the pop-up restaurants in the BBQ alley.

Every month, Amelia and I carve out some mother-daughter time to decorate cupcakes! This time, we went along to the Rainbow Cupcake Class – a class that has been around for quite some time, but we hadn’t actually gone before. Sweet Designs by Jennie does a handful of these classes each month, often with different themes, and we always pick a new one that we haven’t done before. The rainbow class has been one that Amelia had been eyeing for quite some time, as we hadn’t done multi-colored frosting yet.
