United Cakedom: occasions

You know when you say you're going to do something, but then you go and do something else?

Sainsbury’s gave me a copy of their latest book titled Cake to give away to one of my readers.

Well, I’m not going to host a giveaway.

However, I did give it away.

I gave it to my friend Sharon, she is a reader of my blog!

She is also my friend who has guest posted a few times here on United Cakedom. She’s shared her Spider-Man Cake that still gets loads of views.

She has also shared the Lion Cake she made from Sainsbury’s book titled Baking. Which is the number one viewed post on my blog this week!

When we were talking one day she asked if I had seen that Sainsbury’s had just come out with a new cake book. Of course I had and it was because of her excitement that I decided I was going to give her my giveaway copy.

I really think she deserves it.

I mean look at the Loveable Lion Cake it's amazing!

Plus she promised she’d share any and all her creations from the book with us!

If you have any doubt that she deserved a copy of this book please feel free to leave a comment!

The book has a lot of inspiration for the beginner and the more advanced cake decorator!

It has animals like a pig and a bunny! No lion in this one though, for that you’ll have to check out the Baking book. But there are fun holiday cakes for Halloween and Bonfire Night. Cakes for all occasions, birthdays, anniversaries, mother and father’s day and many more!

At 5 pounds it’s a real bargain!

Sainsbury’s have a whole range of books so if cakes aren't your thing they have other titles at that price! There is one for Quick Recipes another with Winter Warmers those two stick out in my mind at the moment. If you watch out sometimes they even go down to 3 pounds 50 pence!

Whenever I catch sight of the post person or a delivery van out the window with a package I get super excited.

It’s so much fun getting post!!

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, because anytime I get the post both of my girls are all over me asking if anything has come for them!

When an unexpected package arrives it means someone was thinking of you!

Sometimes it's because you bought something for yourself that you have been waiting for.

Either way it's fun, right?

So, why not send someone you’re thinking of a gift and make his or her day?

Or of course yourself!

Maybe you have a special occasion coming up? Anniversary, birthday, Easter isn’t too far away and right before that is Mother’s Day! Perhaps you just want to let that someone know you’re thinking of him or her!

That’s when you should visit Hampergifts, they have an incredible range of hampers; anything from food hampers to wine hampers or cheese hampers even sweet hampers and picnic hampers!

I’m drawn to the picnic hampers; maybe it’s a longing for spring to finally arrive!
