Cake Day!

26th November 2014

Today is Cake Day! If you needed an excuse to have a slice of delicious cake… we’ve just given you one! Celebrated all around the world, cake day is meant to be a day of respect for one of the most loved, and oldest desserts around!

Cake is believed to have first been made in Ancient Greece, until they were developed by the Romans into sweet and creamy treats!

Cupcakes were given their name because ingredients for them were originally measured by the cupful.

We tried our hand at baking a cake to celebrate the day!!

Since it is the festive season, we used our Reindeer and Snowflake apron whilst baking, and set our table with the matching tablecloth, then used the napkins to really complete the look! We hope our guests enjoy our table setting whilst we munch on some lovely cake!

Happy cake eating!

The different weights of fabric 🧵 We have four weights of fabrics; cotton, heavyweight, drill and pvc, all work well for different projects. For a free sample, please feel free to message us and we’ll get them sent out to you 📮
✨ For our 100% cotton, it’s great for quilting, dress making and more, our lightest weight of cotton
✨ Our heavyweight cotton is perfect for curtains and light upholstery, a heavier fabric than our 100% cotton
✨ Our drill cotton fabric is our heaviest weave fabric, suitable for light upholstery
✨ Our PVC is our pvc/oilcloth coated cotton fabric, brilliant as a table covering, it’s sold by the half metre and as it won’t fray, is great to put straight on the table 🌿

The cotton, heavyweight and drill cotton are all 152cm wide and the pvc fabric is 140cm wide. All are sold by the half metre 📏

Is anyone else a little excited that it's only 100 days until Christmas... or is it too soon to talk about? We're quite excited for Christmas crafts, food and films! ☺️ We wonder what your favourite Morris design is? Does it change based on season? 🎄 (it's far too early for this emoji but we're excited and can't help it, sorry.)
