The time has come, Keep calm and eat cake


The tickets have just gone on sale for my first every burlesque performance and we’re all rhinestoning and practicing (and panicking) like sweatshop staff. I can’t go to bed without listening to my show music and running through my move in my head. Luckily we’re all in the same boat and all keen to help each other relaxed and confident with our act.

So what could be nicer than coming home to a package that upon opening is a heart warming supportive gift... it really is the thought that counts.



This awesome cake is from a company called ‘Baker days’ and what says it better than a tasty treat that fits straight through your lucky recipients’ door. You can add whatever picture or message you like and the cake will even include a card with message, balloons, candles and a hooter to really get the party going.

With a cute 1940’s style message we all know and love, adapted to my burlesque ‘keep calm and keep your tassels on’, made me stop freaking out about the next 4 weeks and put a big smile on my face.

Mine is a tasty chocolate cake but they come in a variety of flavours, including, Madeira Cake, Carrot cake, Fruit Cake (some people do like it, even when they’re not at a wedding) Double Chocolate Chip (yummy) and even Gluten and Wheat Free which is a very pleasant surprise!

The presentation is outstanding and the all important taste is light and fluffy but the best bit has to be unwrapping it and discovering what’s inside, the last thing you would ever expect in a box (that’s come through your letter box) is a cake.    

Looking at their facebook page people have been sending cakes all over the place, from Aberbeen to Afghanistan and who can blame them. I’m not one for sending birthday cards or any other type of cards for that matter; I think they’re pretty pointless. Flowers can be a nightmare, is the person going to be at home, will the delivery person turn up on time, will the flowers be dead/alive and gees they are always expensive. For £14.99 these cakes are the perfect solution and I have no doubt it will slap a smile on anyone’s face – why not give it a go!

Now I must get back to my costume making before I drive myself into mayor panic mode!
