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.<br />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!<br />Happy cake eating to those with food allergies and intolerances this week x <br /><br /><em>Gluten & dairy free lemon cupcake pictured above</em>boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-8124231932113249212010-01-24T22:15:00.005+00:002010-01-24T22:24:27.795+00:00Ballard & Boo!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/S1zHDdsip-I/AAAAAAAAAl0/Fk2DDDQe-2c/s1600-h/Dad+and+Zoe+Pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/S1zHDdsip-I/AAAAAAAAAl0/Fk2DDDQe-2c/s320/Dad+and+Zoe+Pic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430434113026959330" border="0" /></a>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.<br /><br />'Years of Romance' - a photographic tribute to a glamorous life - 24th Feb-8th March 2010boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-12213999082270606342010-01-21T09:05:00.003+00:002010-01-21T09:28:26.477+00:00A photographic tribute to a glamorous life, at bake-a-boo<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/S1gZIOZqzBI/AAAAAAAAAls/XNitk4Lio3M/s1600-h/Dad+Invitation+image.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429116979890539538" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/S1gZIOZqzBI/AAAAAAAAAls/XNitk4Lio3M/s320/Dad+Invitation+image.jpg" /></a> 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.<br /><div></div>boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-2737453642565022852010-01-19T12:34:00.002+00:002010-01-19T12:45:35.063+00:00Ruth's hen tea partySorry for the utter silence in blogland lately - sadly in November we got broken into at the shop and our camera was stolen, so we haven't been able to take any pictures to keep you up to date with our goings-on, so I have been quiet - anyway -I'm back, new camera and back in action, we have so much going on in the next few months that I have so much to report, so it's good to be back.<br />Anyway here's some new pics from the weekend - we celebrated Ruth's hen party on Sunday and here's some pictures of her afternoon tea party, before the hens arrived to devour the lot. They had full afternoon tea and rounded off the afternoon decorating cupcakes.

But in the mean time the bake-a-boo fairies are looking after the shop for us. They are all pretty special to me, in fact the first fairy here has been with us since day one, she was a gift when we opened the shop and has hung from the chandelier ever since, although she did tragically loose her legs, she lost none of her power......and yes I do believe in fairies!

She captures many precious moments through her lense and I only wish I could take photographs like her, but I make cakes and that's my thing I guess?<br /><br />Anyway I am telling you this as we are now selling this image on postacrds in the shop, and hopefully many more.<br /><br />In the meantime, please check out my sister's Etsy shop where she is selling some of her wonderful postcards <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/xantheb">here<br clear="all"></a>boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-47717672656567734272009-12-09T20:35:00.002+00:002009-12-09T20:43:35.152+00:00Christmas late night shopping evenings<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SyAKZB_ylQI/AAAAAAAAAjk/z9QBTIpk1uI/s1600-h/xmas_shopping_ecard.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 226px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413338177248335106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SyAKZB_ylQI/AAAAAAAAAjk/z9QBTIpk1uI/s320/xmas_shopping_ecard.jpg" /></a> This Thursday 10th December, bake-a-boo is having a late night opening with Inside story (50 Mill Lane) We may not be Oxford street!!

How funny is that?! Beckford school is one of my favourite places in the world and somewhere that is very close to my heart (as well as being very close to my shop) many of our lovely customers are Beckford mummies (and daddies), but also I used to be a pupil there, and both my first and last days at Beckford are still vivid memories, and I can honestly say that I had the most fabulous time there, even though it was school, and I guess that's saying something!! I judged the competition last year and took my sidekick Leon (our sconemaster) along to help me, and we found it so hard to choose the winners.<br /><br />Happy baking to all the kids and mummies who are involved - good luck!! xxx<br /><br />ps. It's also Emmanuel school's (also on Mill Lane) Christmas fair on Saturday, and we have donated prizes to both fairs, so we look forward to seeing the winners at bake-a-boo soon xboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-12864210550860943572009-11-30T10:28:00.002+00:002009-11-30T10:35:42.972+00:00Wedding cupcakesHere's some pictures that the lovely Anjana sent through to us of her wedding cupcakes.

Connie and her gang decorated some spooky cupcakes in a cupcake decorating workshop followed by a halloween tea of spooky sandwiches, slimy jelly, cat and bat cookies and much more treats, followed by a birthday cake decorated to look like a pumpkin and of course spooky party bags for all the girls. Happy Birthday Connie xx<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SvdXjbkwOSI/AAAAAAAAAhE/4tUAV4UJQw8/s1600-h/CIMG4510.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401882544263149858" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SvdXjbkwOSI/AAAAAAAAAhE/4tUAV4UJQw8/s320/CIMG4510.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SvdXjPPjwFI/AAAAAAAAAg8/kCtIQvkwv7c/s1600-h/CIMG4499.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401882540953026642" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SvdXjPPjwFI/AAAAAAAAAg8/kCtIQvkwv7c/s320/CIMG4499.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SvdXi4OyuWI/AAAAAAAAAg0/43AP6ema4F4/s1600-h/CIMG4504.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401882534775798114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SvdXi4OyuWI/AAAAAAAAAg0/43AP6ema4F4/s320/CIMG4504.JPG" /></a></div></div>boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-87543295091919865302009-10-30T21:39:00.003+00:002009-10-30T21:55:43.750+00:00happy halloween<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfG4YfNwI/AAAAAAAAAEE/gjMAd5-mF5c/s1600-h/hpha+5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfG4YfNwI/AAAAAAAAAEE/gjMAd5-mF5c/s320/hpha+5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398513150152619778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfGrvJyWI/AAAAAAAAAD8/FbNT2fSZTbU/s1600-h/hp+ha+4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 126px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfGrvJyWI/AAAAAAAAAD8/FbNT2fSZTbU/s320/hp+ha+4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398513146758023522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfGSazhgI/AAAAAAAAAD0/vCQ0HeIYCOI/s1600-h/hp+ha+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfGSazhgI/AAAAAAAAAD0/vCQ0HeIYCOI/s320/hp+ha+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398513139961792002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfGHvwY-I/AAAAAAAAADs/Q1KIVnM6BFI/s1600-h/hap+hal+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pf0LC6zygmI/SutfGHvwY-I/AAAAAAAAADs/Q1KIVnM6BFI/s320/hap+hal+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398513137096877026" /></a>xanthehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14366957168837869636noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656177581007570124.post-47297950676994202402009-10-22T22:19:00.003+01:002009-10-22T22:29:40.750+01:00Love is in the air....<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SuDM2YTxNvI/AAAAAAAAAgs/-4axUplYoOE/s1600-h/paris+love.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395537588200224498" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EIpjwQ5xzd0/SuDM2YTxNvI/AAAAAAAAAgs/-4axUplYoOE/s320/paris+love.jpg" /></a> Just a quick note to say congratulations to our very own team Boo-er Leon (AKA Our scone master) who got engaged this weekend to the equally fabulous and utterly gorgeous Vanessa (can you tell that I love her too!!??) Leon got down on one knee at Kings Cross station (there is a reason behind this) and then off they went (much to Vanessa's suprise) to Paris for the weekend. Congratulations to my two favourite drama queens! Huge love from all at the Boo xx<br /><div></div>boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441400453449302095noreply@blogger.com0
