Matt’s Choco Feast

Matt — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 08:36:58 +0000

Matt stepped up and supplied a heavy chocolate delight. Not bad for a novice baker… A tidy chocolate sponge with chocolate icing topped with a selection of chocolate favourites.

It was Jack’s turn in the Cake Off yesterday and he supplied us with a Raspberry Mess cake. Thoughtful and delicate presentation, a very enjoyable desert which was finished by all. Thanks Jack!

We are so so so close… but the new ilovedust website is now launching on Wednesday. We have stacks more work still to be uploaded and it’s taken longer than we expected, but next week all will be unveiled.

Another Day, Another cake

And what a cake it was. Decorated like nothing we have seen so far! BIG marks mean this cake is going to be there or thereabouts come the end of the Cake Off. The sponge was perfectly made and the Skill marks reflected this… Well done Jodie!

Khanh cake crazy!

Matt — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:03:07 +0000

Khanh our intern from Holland stepped up to the plate in the Cake Off and made 2 different cakes! Yes! Due to strict Cake regulations scores can only be given on one cake. So Khanh presented us with a skillfully made fluffy Lemon Mousse cake, and what a delight it was. Presentation was strong, decorated with sliced peaches and chocolate flakes, taste was sublime, a light and fluffy mousse – loved by all.

Scores were HIGH, this is going to be tough to beat.

New ilovedust site – coming soon!

Matt — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 09:44:18 +0000

You may be thinking that we have all gone a bit cake crazy down here, but we haven’t just been sitting around drinking tea and sampling delicious cakes Masterchef style….

A lot of hard graft has gone into our new site in our Southsea and London studios, and next Wednesday it will all come to fruition (hopefully!). A new look site, a full ilovedust brand overhaul, lot’s of fresh work, and a few surprises….. Stay tuned kids.

Henners (aka Henry aka one half of the Twins) weighs in with an admirable effort on the victoria sponge. Job done. Strawberries and raspberries were a touch.

The 5th cake in the annual ILD cake off was baked by Bruce. His Lemon & Blueberry cake scored well, presentation was to a high standard and scores reflected that here in the Southsea studio…
