Let Me Eat Cake!

Well, the grand opening of the tea room went tremendously well; we were busy pretty much all day long (an odd lull from about 1.30-2.30pm, but things soon picked up again), and today has seen a steady stream of customers once more. I'm so very pleased with how it has all gone, and I think I'm running on adrenaline at the moment having barely had time to stop for the past few days (but all in a good cause.) I'm amazed that I've been working in the tea room for two whole days and have yet to sample any of the cakes on the premises! Still, it will do my profits and my waistline the world of good if I can stay away from the sweet temptations.

Anyway, I'm a busy bee even when I'm home after a day at the tea room - last night I had to come home and make two batches of scones as we nearly sold out yesterday and this evening I have to make a batch of butternut squash soup. It's all go in the food industry, don't you know!

Here are a few snaps from yesterday's grand opening. Since it was so busy, I didn't get the chance to take any photos once customers had started arriving (there were even some trying to get in before we opened); I wish I had managed it as at one point every table and chair was taken and there was a fabulous, buzzy atmosphere. But never mind, these snaps will have to suffice.

The fabulous Easter nest cake that a friend in the village made as a gift for opening day

There are cakes and Easter biscuits on the dresser now; must take a new snap.
