The Fife Show - done and dusted!

The wind blew a hooley, the gazebo stayed standing, just, the rain threatened but didn't fall until we were leaving,  and we had a great day!!  Can you ask for anything more?!!  The Fife Show excelled itself. We had a busy afternoon selling cupcakes and traybakes and tablet and goodies galore.  My fab co-workers took over for 15mins or so which meant I even had chance to look at the sheep and the ponies and the tractors and to dance a jig with my fav wee man whilst we waited for his aunt to buy willow fish for the garden!

I had a lovely neighbour in the shape of Laura of Laura's Chocolates fame.  They were to die for!!  And she was full of great advice and top tips too which is always a good thing.  Visit her website to see what I mean about the deliciousness she produces:  Http://www.lauraschocolates.com  Her unexpected companion who joined her stall just before we opened was selling Trotter's Wild Garlic Pesto amongst other things.  I had to buy a jar - would've been rude not to!!  Again, scrummy to the extreme.  Check out the website too - http://www.trottersindependent.co.uk

Anyway, I digress.... we had cupcakes a plenty - Grasshopper, Choc Fudge, Carrot, Red Velvet, Cola, Disco Vanilla, Banoffee and oh so many more - and they all sold, nearly!  Tablet was popular as was Rocky Road and Brownies.  The surprise hit was the coconut tarts - thank you to the couple who bought what must have been at least a dozen of them, so nostalgic was their experience of them!!

Here are the photos so you can see what we were up to!

Tasty goodies a plenty!  Including a bucket full of tablet!


More scrumminess, just waiting to be bought and devoured!
My wee corner at the Fife Show!
Take note of my cool bunting!


Coconut and Bakewell Tarts - a nostaligic treat for many - and using my Gran's recipefor the Coconut ones so they've got to be good!

New for the show, and the first to sell out - The Grasshopper!  
It sat oh so prettily alongside the Mocha.

Disco Vanilla and Banoffee - comfy companions!
Can you beat a pink cupcake?  Strawberry Shortcake were a fav!

Always a popular choice and one I'm especially proud of - the Carrot Cake
(complete with homemade wee carrots!  Cute!)
