Oh I do love my new Kitchen Aid mixer! It makes cake baking so much more fun, and so much easier. I would highly recommend one to anyone who loves to bakes. Mine is a lovely deep red and looks just as fabulous sitting on the kitchen side. I've been coveting one for quite a while now and it was my treat for finally getting my cake business started. I've just been baking a batch of cupcakes to test it out and it's fantastic. Money well spent I would say! Anyway, just wanted to share how excited I was with the purchase!

Well, the lovely logo of Buttercream and Dreams has arrived. Fresh off the press from my wonderfully artistic friend Harry at the Paper Stacks. It is absolutely perfect and exactly what is needed to help bring my little company to life. I gave Harry a lovely, if rather rambling, little brief and this was the result. A good interpretation I would say. Perfect colours in the pale pink and chocolate brown. A touch of girliness mixed with a hint of retro gives real personality. This has now been added to my new website and I will shortly be able to share the site with the world. Just the final few tweaks and we are ready to go. So this is my little blog to say a big thanks to Harry and of course you are entitled to free cakes for life for your services to Buttercream and Dreams!
