From Caterpillar to Butterfly

Hello folks - long time no write! It has been sooooo busy that I have barely had time to catch breath. A lot has happened since my last blog in June. Let's see...

The Marshmallow Diet

What an amazing roller coaster the last few weeks have been! So much has happened it’s hard to know where to begin.

Lin: 1 Monster Mixer: 0

There is no doubt that the Monster Mixer was intimidating. It took 3 of us (yes - 1 woman and 2 boysmen) to lift it on to the work surface. And it was only really when it was sat next to my now oh-so-small Kitchenaid mixer that I realised how ENORMOUS it was!

My Marshmallows are in the Press!

I was really thrilled to get a whole page coverage in the June issue of Hampshire Life magazine!  In case you can't find a copy (I may have bought a few :) ), this is what they had to say....

Food Photography that Looks Good Enough to Eat!

I know nothing about photography, and I really had no idea just how involved it was. Mind you, this was a proper photo shoot - rather than a point-and-shoot (which is my normal approach - and that's with the camera on my phone!)

I discovered that REAL photography involves a myriad of lenses, a scrim (wait dear reader, and I will enlighten you with my new found expertise), step ladders, lying on the floor, and a shed load of greaseproof paper.

The Gourmet Marshmallow Tsunami - It's coming!

Can you imagine it? A slow wave of marshmallow enveloping everything in it's path? Death by sugar (but completely fat free!)

Well, I sort of feel like the wave may have started. Which is the MOST AMAZING feeling. Last year, just before Christmas, we sold loads of marshmallows, and had lots and lots of really positive feedback. I secretly dared to hope that it might go somewhere....but also secretly feared it would just stop completely after Christmas.
