all things lovely: Hearts and Flowers
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2011/01/hearts-and-flowers.html
Sunday, 23 January 2011. I am so pleased we did. The mould itself has a dip in the middle which basically means that when it's cooked you have a hollow in the cake which can be filled with sweets, presents or anything else that takes your fancy (diamonds, etc.etc) and then iced around it. Cool eh? We filled ours with a mixture of buttercream and hundreds and thousands (also known as fairy dust). And big ones for big people! I haven't worked out a gluten free version yet but that's work in progress. T...

all things lovely: Shhh! there's still a Waitrose Christmas Cake in the kitchen cupboard
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2011/01/shhh-theres-still-waitrose-christmas.html
Thursday, 6 January 2011. There's still a Waitrose Christmas Cake in the kitchen cupboard. Well where did the last few months go? I really do need to get my blogging mojo back. Only I am not too sure where I left it.I did look behind the sofa and in the cupboard under the stairs (admittedly I was looking for a pair of red ballerina pumps at the time-still missing in action) but all I found was dust and a lonely mitten. Still, hopefully this is a positive step in the right direction, no? Isn't it cold out?

all things lovely: Race For Life
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2010/07/race-for-life.html
Wednesday, 7 July 2010. Yes indeed, Sunday was Race For Life Day. After signing ourselves up back in February to do the 5km walk/jog/stagger around Cheltenham Racecourse the day finally arrived. I have never taken part before but am so pleased I did. The atmosphere was amazing, 5000 women all joined together to take part in an event that raises money for such a good cause. Our team, all ladies from the cafe, have raised in excess of £600 so far, which we are delighted with. 7 July 2010 at 22:10. I will n...

all things lovely: June 2009
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 21 June 2009. Well had I realised that being 31 would lead to such slapdash-where blogs are related-behaviour then I wouldn't have accepted it quite so readily! Sorry folks. But I have been busy and have a very good list of excuses lined up! The Sweet Williams are also growing really well. They last for ages and smell beautiful. I have a vase of them on the bathroom windowsill that feel rather decadent when Iam wallowing in the tub. We weren't too sure on what to do regards dressing up, so eventu...

all things lovely: Raspberry Roulade Recipe
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2010/07/raspberry-roulade-recipe.html
Tuesday, 13 July 2010. We all have our specialities when it comes to cooking. My husbands is risotto. And roast chicken. And actually most main meals, in fact. I do soup and puddings and cakes. So I have prepped the veggies ready for tonights risotto, and then moved onto deciding what I could do with several pounds of raspberries also picked from the allotment. I did pluck a rose from the garden though and bought it inside to sniff every now and again. It really does smell beautiful. Ok, here goes people.

all things lovely: November 2009
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 November 2009. You can run but you can't catch me. Gardengirl is very busy baking, sewing, and running N0.9, so this is the second guest blog by Mr Gardengirl. The village is building up to the festive period and the switching on of the Christmas lights took place yesterday, which also marks the window display competition. For this the girl decided on a Gingerbread Man theme. A) Order them from the internet? B) Purchase them from John Lewis? She started with Brown felt and scissors. I apparent...

all things lovely: June 2010
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 1 June 2010. How does your garden grow? Ahh, yes, so as per usual I have been VERY busy in the garden and at the allotment, producing all manner of wonderful vegetables and flowers. There was so much to look at it, and it really is an amazing place to go if you are into gardening. So far we have courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins, kohl rabi, french beans and peas. I bought a couple of packets of seeds back with me which have gone straight into pots. I don't think any of us will ...

all things lovely: April 2009
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 11 April 2009. This is what happens to cute easter chicks when they spend too much time sat at the cake counter. And this is our new tablecloth fabric. Very summery and pretty, I thought. It's been a big hit with the customers and has made the inside of the cafe feel all bright and cheery. Wednesday, 1 April 2009. At the risk of turning into a cake making bore, check out these bad boys! The icing is a touch sickly, so only a small slice is needed at a time. I have finally decided to sign myself...

all things lovely: January 2011
http://anna-allthingslovely.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 January 2011. An even BETTER comment of the day. We had a power cut at work today. The whole street went out. A rip roaring pain in the arse when you run a coffee shop. I had a bowl full of carrot cake batter, another bowl full of mushrooms ready to cook, and customers who (bizarrely) got very excited about the whole 'lights going out and sitting in the dark' thing. One of the girls who works in the cafe said. Ready for comment of the day? Sunday, 23 January 2011. If you are keen on buying o...
