Slice of Pie? Just pop in at Jilly's Tea Rooms and Gift Shop!

There are new items in the Tea Rooms! Oly has been beavering away making signs, they're gorgeous and she made some for me!

The Violets sign is in the Gift Shop, on the table until I decide where to hang it. The little pink rabbit I bought at Fuengirola.
Also for the Gift Shop are two new bags.

A delivery of fresh pies for the Tea Rooms I bought recently from Kim. You can see her fabulous work on her blog. My photos don't do her work justice, take a look on her blog, meantime, feast your eyes here!

That's all for now, thanks for dropping by!

Bakery Update

As you can see I switch from one project to another all the time. I recently bought this lovely cake, fresh from the oven, and nicely risen. It came from Ana Correia .

I managed to fill some jars with flour, sugar etc without making a mess.
I used a narrow straw that fits inside the jar.

Dip the straw into the powder you are using and hold your finger over the top when removing it. The powder will stay in the straw, just like at school when you use a pipette for lifting liquid, yes, even I remember that far back. Mr Saunders, my science teacher would be proud of me!

Lower it over your jar and tap gently if you need to. Here are the jars, one with semolina, the other with flour just waiting for their labels and you have a nice clean table!

I hope you're having a week of sunshine!

Tea Shop 'Cake' and 'Bake'

I wanted the word CAKE for the Tea Shop and so I made the letters from polymer clay and glued them to a piece of wood, then painted them a couple of times.

 Then I made BAKE for the bakery and it sits above the preparation board Kaisa made for me.

I had trouble with JILLY as the 'I' and the 'Y' have such small bases they kept falling off when I tried to paint them, plus the paint was a bit thick which didn't help.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!
