I was reminded this weekend as to why I started my Afternoon Tea business all those months ago and why we go to so much effort at For Cakes Sake to create our afternoon tea boxes the way we do. It was one comment that put it all into perspective for me and got me thinking. We get a lot of great feedback, but this message stood out for me in particular. She had gifted a box to her mother who was shielding in Dundee, to cheer her up. In…

Yay, it’s so exciting to be featured in the local press and especially such amazing publications as the food and drink section of The Scotsman and the discerning Field Magazine… Field Magazine I love how Field magazine talked about turning your home and office into the Ritz with our awesome, grand hotel standard, afternoon tea treats. That’s exactly how we imagined it would be! Pass the prosecco… The Scotsman The Scotsman loved our takeaway idea.

The Hermitage, Dunkeld Located just off the A9 in Dunkeld, Perth and Kinross. This magical forest not only hosts the tallest trees in Britain, the thundering Black Linn Falls, and a hidden totem, it is also a pretty fabulous place to have a Takeaway Afternoon Tea for Two!

After months of hard work, the time has come to actually launch this thing! It only feels like yesterday that I decided to make a business out of baking. I love entertaining, and I love afternoon tea, so it was only a matter of time before I combined them both into a business. But that was way back in January. A lot of Hard Work!

But we just about made it – if a little tired, a little grumpy and very hungry. We headed inside, and were greeted immediately by a member of staff who was delighted to show us to the hotels lounge. We sank into our…

I’m so excited that we finally have a space to call our own. There is lots of work to do though. We are definitely keeping that massive table though, isn’t it awesome? I can’t wait to start making and decorating cakes on that – just imagine, I could decorate 30 Humpday Cakes all at once on there, and still have room for more! Take the Tour…
