It wasn’t long after our December Homley Christmas event that Durham Dales CCC recieved a phone call from Teesdale Mercury asking if they could run an article on us.

How could we refuse?!

So I hurriedly found a venue and decided upon a theme

Oh one thing I may have forgot was bakers -oops!

I stuck the event on the CCC website and waited- it was last minute- just a few days notice.

I was inspired for a moment and decided to ask the people in the venue if they would bake- they loved the idea and did not disappoint

We met in Bede House in Newton Aycliffe a multi-use rented office space (which I happen to work in)

It was an after work event on a very snowy cold evening and although the radio was telling us roads were terrible all the businesses stayed behind for this cake club event.

We had four wonderful cakes

* A beautiful Lemon cake filled with lemon curd

* A coffee clock cake

*An Earl grey cake with Earl Grey icing

*Cinnamon and Drunken Fruit

A week later we were in the Teesdale Mercury with a wonderful newspaper report and a great pic of everyone there!

Here’s to 2013 and our events including

Fabulous Fifties -which is already fully booked!

February- Book Launch and Cake Love

and our Birthday Bonanza in March

We are also planning on having an event or two in Teesdale and Weardale- so watch this space!
