Exeter Baking Club - First Meeting
Exeter Baking Club yesterday was great. There was a lot of excitement about it in the run up and talk of what people would be making on the theme of ‘Favourites’.
Lauren turned up with beautiful plates and cake forks and some of us brought our own fork and plate set (cake tastes so much better off china plates). Lauren had balloons, bunting and banners too. We all had our photos taken with our bakes and laid out all the cakes with the recipes alongside on the table and then we got stuck in. There were a lot of cakes to try and as we were voting later it was important to have a taste of everything.
Geraldine was awarded the certificate for Baker of the Week with her yummy American Walnut Nougat Cake.
And Lauren has blogged about the whole wonderful session on her website here...http://throughthemagicdoor.net/ and she's blogged it beautifully :)
Crafting with Hannah
On Tuesday Hannah taught us the art of making beaded flowers and we were totally engrossed. It was magical to take such simple equipment and turn them into such fabulous little creations. It was crafting by numbers as we had a pattern to follow so it was just up my street and most of the group headed straight down to Bunyip on Fore Street to get our own beads and wire so we can carry on at home.
Crafting Group is on Tuesday at noon-1:30pm at the Hub on the Green.

Saturday's Craft, Cake & Food Fair at the Hub
We had a fabulous time at the fair on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us and made it such fun.
An especially big thank you to Sparkly Sonia who painted faces non-stop all day and gave all her face-painting donations to the hub. Sonia had her sketch book and the children/adults chose a picture from the book, adapted it and Sonia got painting. Her paintings were incredible and she made so many people happy and smiley. Great memories for the visitors to Exeter and the grandma who was babysitting one very happy face-painted granddaughter. Thank you SS.
The cake stall looked fabulous. We had lots of donations (thank you bakers) and, as mum pointed out, people brought what they liked to bake so we had an amazing variety. We had rock cakes, cupcakes, banana loaf, brownies, sponge cakes, Smarties cookies, Jubilee cakes, chocolate torte, brandy cake... and we were left with very little. You like your cake :) The talk of the day was Lauren's chocolate torte. It created a real buzz and lovely Lauren, who is starting up the Exeter Baking Club (on Twitter & Facebook) at the hub on 16th May, has put the recipe online.
We had new sellers as always. Lottie came away with a fabulous crochet chat from Rene which she has worn every day and I have a spotty flower broach from Dots & Spots. Sam (Silver by Sam)'s glass was as popular as ever, Lealeas had her wall hangings and Paint Me a Picture's Sarah was there with her amazing pictures. Sonia had her sparkly works of art too and Lottie was on the pocket money stall.
Hannah K ran the crafting table under her golden balloon, decorating bags. The crafters (particularly Caitlin, Philipa, Maisie, Max and Finn) spent hours on their decorations and the bags looked amazing. There was a seahorse theme running through the day started by Philipa. Hannah must have been exhausted as she is expecting a baby but she crafted all day and it was non-stop. We have amazing people at the fairs.
Sarah Hewlett was in both the hub and the health centre next door giving people acupressure sessions. She was a busy bunny too.
And Penny and Ian were out in the alley with their fabulous organic vegetables. It is great to see the vegetables come straight from Shillingford with Martyn at 10am and be on sale at 10:30am. You can't get fresher. Yum!
