Hurrah, I finally got my laptop back and it is now functioning properly again, no thanks to Maisie and her tea-throwing antics.
The lovely bods at Market Kitchen have also agreed to pay for the damage to my cakes so I shall be repairing them soon.
And on February 28th I will be showing my cakes along with lots of tasty samples at Lansdowne Place Hotel in Hove.
As usual I have a million and one things to do and have yet to do them but will be uploading some new photos soon

Above is a picture of a lovely suitcase cake I did for a client recently in West Ham Colours and with handpainted “travel stickers”
I also recently had a spot on Sky News in a piece about the rise in divorces with my divorce cakes forming part of the lighter relief bit. Unfortunately I was only able to show them a couple of cakes as I also recently lent some of my examples to Market Kitchen and when they were returned they were completely broken. One I have salvaged but the other is beyond repair and needs to be completely rebuilt for scratch. Funny how since contacting Market Kitchen producers about it they have gone strangely silent….The matter s being pursued though so watch this space.
At least though, that’s the last time I ever lend my cakes out without a cast iron guarantee they will come back in one piece!

Still without a computer of my own to use at the moment and very frustrating it is too. On the positive side Sky News came to film me and the divorce cakes today. They were damaged quite badly when they were borrowed by another television company for filming but I at least managed to repair one of them to make it presentable for television!
Suffice to say the Sky people were lovely. I don’t know when it is going out yet but apparently it is all to do with a piece about the increase in divorce and Pink Rose Cakes may well form part of the and now for some light relief section…

Had a total disaster yesterday. My ten month old managed to grab a cup of tea and empty the entire contents across my laptop! Not long after I managed to crash the car, not badly I hasten to add but enough to cause a couple of thousand pounds of damage and then to top it off my glass scales fell out of the cupboard and shattered into a thousand pieces onto the floor.
It was definitely one of those days when I just shouldn’t have got out of bed.
Anyway, the trouble is if anyone has sent me email in the last couple of days then I can no longer access it. So if you haven’t received a reply please please don’t think I am ignoring you and send it again to fay@faymillar.wanadoo.co.uk and I promise I will answer!

Hello and welcome to Pink Rose Cake’s first blog post in 2010! After all the publicity surrounding our divorce cakes in November and December, which literally went global, business is ticking along nicely. I am currently working on a range of “off the shelf” divorce cakes which I eventually hope to be able to ship to customers so keep watching this space.
In the meantime we are also working on a new range of model cakes to show off different styles and ideas available. There will be a real mix of simple and elegant designs, along with more show stopping piece in a whole range of colours.
I flicked on to American cake goddess Colette Peters’ web site the other day. She is a true genius when it comes to cake design and it has certainly provided me with plenty of inspiration for ever more weird and wonderful cakes.
Finally, check out the divorce cakes on Market Kitchen on UKTV Food on January 21st.
