Thanks to a bit or PR help from Linsay at Black Harrow, there's a fantastic piece in today's evening news about the rise and rise of baking and our Afternoon Tea Event. Yay!
Link to online article is here and some blurb from it here....
The upsurge in people dabbling with home baking goes hand-in-hand with the ever-increasing popularity of bake sales and decadent afternoon teas.
And
Lea, pictured below with Matthew Halsall of the Manna House bakery, is
cashing in on the phenomenon – all in the name of charity. Along with
Leila Kean, events manager for Innis & Gunn, and part-time food
writer and blogger, she has organised an afternoon tea with a
difference to raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
The
Edinburgh contribution to the nation-wide Great Pink Bake Off will take
place on October 20, at The Royal Scots Club, on Abercromby Place. The
pair have enlisted the help of some of Edinburgh’s top chefs and bakers
to form an impressive line-up for the cake-tastic event.
The
likes of Mark Greenaway, Neil Forbes from Cafe St Honore and Craig
Sandle of The Pompadour by Galvin will join forces with top bakeries
including The Manna House, to provide hundreds of tasty treats for
hungry guests.
“We have some pink fizz for guests on arrival and it will just be a nice relaxing afternoon with a huge collection of cakes on offer,”
Leila says. “It’s such a social thing to do, that’s what’s so lovely
about it. We have been bowled over by the generosity of people. It’s
always nice to be able to have some fun like this, even if there is a
serious message behind the afternoon. There will be a lot to eat so we
really want to sell a lot of tickets!”
Model and actress Eunice
Olumide, one of Breakthrough Scotland’s ambassadors, will be hosting the
Great Pink Bake Off event on October 20 and will compere the raffle and
auction. Tickets cost £15 and must be pre-booked
