Today brings us the opening of the worlds first entirely edible art exhibition in London, aptly named; Cake Britain! On reading about this i did in fact think that my eyes were deceiving me!             

I met a friend for brunch on Saturday at a new restaurant that everyone seems to be talking about - Caravan on Exmouth Market.  With the sun shining, the windows and doors open to let in the breeze, Antipodean accents to our left and right and some of the best coffee I’ve had in a long time, you could be easily forgiven to think that we were in a chic beachside Sydney bistro.

Oxford Circus is not the place you’d think to hang out on your lunchbreak or to meet your friends – unless you’re planning a shopping trip to Topshop or you are, in fact, mental.  Tourists galore, chuggers, muggers, and horrid restaurants with pictures of the food on the menu, evil coffee chains and carphone warehouses are not fun to hang around, especially when just around the corner are the cobbled streets of Soho for boutiques, fun bars and restaurants.

While the rest of you were baking in the sun this Sunday I was having a little baking session of my own. As my Mother has been stuck in Singapore for the last few days after trying to get back from Oz, I found myself heading out to my parents' house in the countryside with Aidie and a couple of friends.
