London Scandinavian Christmas Market 2018
I thought this year as well as being a seller at the Scandi Market id share my personal experience from both sides of the makers Table, so you can see what it was like to visit the fair and what delights unfortunately you missed this year!!
Being a Maker in a Heat Wave
Having had a great year last year at the Christmas Scandi Market in London and selling out on day two I wanted to get ahead of my self for 2018, not only to be able to physically make more stock but I would have another little Baker arriving in late September, so my hands would be fuller >read blog post about my christmas fair . I gained a lot of knowledge and insight into the designing, trial and error, making process and quantities but also of what people liked and what sold out from last year and thus I set about planning in June, yes the start of summer and the hottest weather we’d had in many years.

Trending Summer Bakes
The drip cake and naked cake Phenomenon hit the scene in a big way in 2015 and has continued to grow with popularity ever since and is right on trend this summer with the decoration possibilities being endless.
I love making colourful ombre buttercream cakes with chocolate drippings, there so versatile, fun and no two are ever identical, it’s easy to see why everyone loves them. Drip Cakes work for almost any event so if your looking for an elegant wedding cake, fabulous baby shower cake, or crazy showstopper party cake drip cakes could be the way forward!
This summer has been hot with record temperatures being hit, i have been flooded with orders for these tending bakes so I thought I would share some of my designs as well as some key tips ive picked up along the way especially in these testing conditions!
Scandi Twist Baby Shower
In recent years baby showers have become a popular way to celebrate the soon arrival of a little one and a nice way for the mum-to-be to see all her friends an family before her due date. I know that i have had alot over the past few years and often we’ve shared games, gift ideas and present from one shower to the next.
But these types of events can be overwhelming and Im sure im not alone in feeling, that events like this, where you are the centre of attention are not something i particular enjoy, but i do love the gathering and the party type feel of it. With the soon arrival of baby Baker number two, i was faced with wanting to see friends and family but in a more relaxed way. With the gorgeous sunshine we have been having, i crossed my fingers that if i was to have a garden party it wouldn’t rain!! but as always i never make it straight forward, i like things with a taste of Norwegian, so heres how i did a DIY, budget baby shower with a scandi feel.
