Modesty is NOT my middle name....

Well, looky here...what do we have? Why it's the February 2011 edition of the BBC's rather splendid Olive magazine:


Page 7 is particularly good this month, I think....


I would like to thank my family, my friends, the eaters of my cake who don't expressly fall into the first two categories and all my readers - without you such an honour would not have befallen me! I'm welling up.......

    Hi Jacqueline

    Sadly it's not a whole page...this time.
    Having said that - if there are any commissioning editors out there who would like a whole page then please don't be shy. If asked nicely, I might even be persuaded to write a book....(who am I kidding - a publisher could ask rudely and I'd still say yes)!

    I will buy your book, especially if it has Movie Cakes in it. So if any commissioner editors are reading this there is a market for TCC's sterling tome right here.

    Congratulations! I just found this blog through landgirl's blog, and now I am going to pass on the cake luurve by emailing the link to my mate (who is a fellow cake lover and makes some pretty fab sugarcraft...unlike myself who is a cake fan who makes cakes, blobs the icing on them willy nilly and scoffs them).
