We are settling in nicely at our new kitchen unit in central Cheltenham, and I have to say I absolutely love it. It's small but perfectly formed, we now have 3 ovens and lots of surface space which I am very excited about! Click here for photos of Kitchen by Sabrina Sarl.

We are still currently baking cupcakes to order, but hope in time to sell cupcakes direct from the kitchen as well, as we are only a 5 minute walk from the Promenade. In the mean time keep your eyes peeled for Vanilla Pod cucpakes appearing in a coffee shop near you!* At Cheltenham's twice monthly farmers markets, the new monthly produce market and all the other events we are attending over the spring and summer months. Check our facebook events page for more details.
