Food Love
Enjoyed the Good Food & Wine Show again this year - always buzzing - especially the slow food market type food court. Love the stand set-ups - especially the Cavendish Square stand. Stunning detailed cake by Cakebread and the table settings with my fav Le Crueset mini French Casserole dishes (these come in the best colours!).

Cupcake Delights
I love cupcakes and all the gorgeous decor one can get nowadays - and Denise's Delights helps you to get your creative juices flowing with all the delicate flowers and edible glitter.
And let's not forget the endless cake decor possibilites from Nicoletta - all so pretty!

Oh So Sweet!
Ok, so I have a major sweet tooth - there's just no denying it. And my new favourite treat is soft toffee from Sweet Temptations - just can't get enough!! Especially the Turkish Delight - as you can see from the pic below, it's the one on the left that's sold out :)
You can find this delicious toffee made with Belgian chocolate at their stand at Lourensford Family Farmers Market on Lourensford Wine Farm in Somerset West (every first weekend of every month) and at Oude Libertas Slow Food Market in Stellenbosch (every Saturday morning).
