Treat your friends to a summer of pampering

2008-07-25T11:49:00.000-07:00

Who doesn’t like being pampered? More than ever we see gift sets everywhere, from perfume counters to supermarkets. But while we love the contents of the gift set, there’s sometimes a niggling thought that our nearest and dearest could have used a little more imagination…

Pamper cakes give you the best of both worlds: all the lavish guilt-free pampering you could hope to give away but with a strong streak of individuality and creative thought. Each non-edible cake is built using luxury towels and includes a selection of presents and accessories inserted artfully into the design as well as a handwritten message in your own words.

“We picked up the idea initially from America when toy-hunting for the Fuzzy Duck children’s boutique, and launched it here in the UK as nappy cakes” said Johanna Hooper, owner of Pamper Cake. “These went down a storm with expectant mothers as they combined the necessities of dozens of nappies with individual quality baby toys, 100% cotton clothing and more.”

The possibilities of expanding the concept were immediately obvious, and so nappy cakes conceived pamper cakes. There’s an array of needs which pamper cakes are tailored to meet. From hen night to wedding, children’s birthday to teenage pampering, Pamper Cake has the ideal gift. Chocolate lovers will even find a range to suit. “That’s not the limit though” added Jo, “while we strive for individuality with every pamper cake, we also offer a bespoke service where the customer gets even more input.”
Visually arresting, undoubtedly; fragrant, certainly; opulent without question, the pamper cakes not only give you satisfaction to give and receive, but convenience too. No more trawling the shops endlessly because the cakes are available to buy online in a secure shopping environment or over the phone of course. The gifts can be delivered throughout the UK and to any address. That includes hospitals. What’s more, Pamper Cake will deliver the next day, so last minute memory recall needn’t result in a tired bunch of flowers from a petrol station. Pamper Cake can even set up corporate accounts for employers to treat and reward their staff on special occasions.

Flippin Pancakes!

2008-02-01T01:19:00.000-08:00

If you're anything like me, and remember its Pancake day that morning whilst doing the school run. You have a packed out day, yet you need to have time to get out the mixing bowl and just whisk up the pancake batter. And apparently flipping a pancake successfully is not as easy as it looks, the right pancake mix, a hot pan, speed and practice are what’s needed... just what you need on a school night!

There's a couple of options, my friend who has four children, makes them pancakes the weekend before, so they can make it a more relaxed event, waking up in there own time, lazing in there PJs, whilst you have time to prepare the mix and the kids can take it in turns to flip, drop, reshape, add all there toppings and eat. If you do this mid morning by the time you've finished it will be lunch time and you can just offer savoury fillings - two meals in one.

Alternatively, cheat... Nip down to your local shop, buy some ready made pancakes, this way all your kiddies can follow there usual routine after school, get changed, homework, tea and pancakes for pudding ... they can still have fun adding there own toppings.

Good luck!

What Parents Really Want

Just because you love two things doesn’t mean they work well together. Take beautifully manicured finger nails and a day with Kim & Aggie.

Two favourites that actually do work together: cake and babies. My Nappy Cake was started by two Mum’s doing what they love best (eating cake and having babies). But when your tummy becomes a petting zoo and your bum’s expanding faster than your tummy, it’s time to take stock.

These totally indulgent cakes are the non edible variety and are made using ingredients which include premium nappies, gorgeous baby wear and cute fluffy teddies – perfect for little ones arrival.Unlike most baby gifts, this gift is totally practical, Mummy & Daddy friendly and what’s more gift giving couldn’t be more fun!
