You will have to excuse me but this is a rather indulgent post, and really should contain a warning for it is not calorie free!  At the weekend I had a number of friends and family around for a Cards and Cakes Party.  The cards element relates to Phoenix Greetings Cards fabulous quality cards and wonderful designs and the cakes is a combination of lots of lovely cakes, tarts and biscuits.  So after a busy day of baking here’s what my guests were treated to.
