This week - 25th-29th January 2010, it's food allergy and intolerance week. It seems the perfect time to tell you, for those who don't know, that we offer a wide range of cakes suitable for those with food allergies and intolerances. We specialise in gluten free and dairy free cakes, and we have a selection on offer daily, we also make birthday cakes and cupcakes and slices to order for any special occassions you may have, or just to enjoy at home. We also offer a gluten and dairy free alternative to our traditional afternoon tea at bake-a-boo, which must be booked in advance.
In addition to the gluten and dairy free cakes, we also offer egg free and sugar free cakes as well. As I am gluten and dairy intolerant, I know how hard it can be to find foods which you can enjoy, and how it is especially hard to eat out. When I created bake-a-boo I wanted to create a place where there would be something for everyone, and I hope most food intolerances are covered cake wise, so that most people can find something to eat safely at bake-a-boo. Unfortunately as we do cook with nuts in our kitchen, we cannot offer nut free, but we hope to make life more enjoyable for the time that you are with us, for the gluten, dairy, egg and sugar free-er's amongst us!
Happy cake eating to those with food allergies and intolerances this week x

Further to my last post about the photographic exhibition at bake-a-boo from the 24th February, documenting the glamorous life of my Grandfather Ballard Berkeley, I wanted to share this photograph (not part of the exhibition) with you of my Grandfather and I in his garden when I was very little.
From the 24th of February until the 8th of march, at bake-a-boo we will be hosting an exhibition 'Years of Romance' - a photographic tribute to a glamorous life. A collection of remastered and digitally enhanced photographs taken from the glamorous life of the actor Ballard Berkeley. The images cover the period 1920-1939 and include publicity photographs for the theatre and cinema. Hosting this exhibition is particulary special to me as Ballard Berkeley was my grandfather. My father recently dug out several old photographs of Ballard for a documentary 'Fawtly Towers re-opened' which aired in 2009. He then digitally enhanced and restored several of the photographs and has now compiled this exhibition. Seeing these photographs has allowed me to learn so much about my grandfather's acting career and life, as I was very young when he died and I only really knew him as 'the major' in Fawtly Towers, it has been lovely to experience some of his other chararcters through these photographs. I hope that you will enjoy the photographs in the shop during this time.
