September 7th, Victoria Park Barry, Rock & Blues

[Baglady]

Friends will be running the tea & cakes kitchen at the Rock & Roll & Blues Music festival in Victoria Park, Barry

Date: Saturday 7th September 2013
Venue: Victoria Park, Cadoxton, Barry
Time: Starts 1pm
Admission: Free

We love music in the park…and just because its September doesn’t mean the Summer has to end. A day of rock and blues music in the lovely Victoria Park. Music from Scot Hawtin, Blues Central, The Little Welsh Blues Band, Jimi Hendrix (tribute) and The Relics.

We need 4 or 5 vols to help in the kitchen, and we need loads of cakes!



If you have a pair of oven gloves, and know how to use 'em, we would be really grateful for cupcakes, drizzle cakes, welsh cakes, victoria sponges, cornflake cakes, rice crispie cakes, and those lovely sticky-chocolate-mud-pie-slices that Becky makes sooooo well

Please post here or message us if you can come, or if you can bake before the day

I'm working on the Friday and Saturday so I wont be able to attend however, if somebody can pick up cakes from my house at 9am on the Saturday I can have a big bake-a-thon on Friday night. Any volunteers? ;D

[christina]

The lovely Baglady has agreed to collect cakes from me so I'm going to make Rice Krispie cakes, cornflake cakes, some vanilla cupcakes/fairy cakes but I'll do different flavour buttercream and rocky road bars. I'll make up some Honeycomb and Bounty type things too just for something different ;D

My daughter and her friends are having a cupcake baking session on friday for us I will be picking them up Sat morning. There should be a few dozen

[Baglady]

ooooh nom nom ;D

Thanks so much Christina and Sandra

[Becky]

I'll do some non bake stuff too, still not sure if I can make the show or not though. Bloody builders

[Baglady]

This is the post I was waiting for

Thanks Becky I your chocolaty chocolate stuff ;D

There should be a fairly sizeable audience this weekend, the more the more, so even if you can't be there in person to help at the Meet & Greet or at Victoria Park, if you can do a bit of baking for us it would be massively appreciated

[nuggie]

My apron is at the ready ;D

[Becky]

I sent you the recipes on FB, are you going to have a go? ;D

[Baglady]

I might

Nice one Bern, if you're doing a lemon drizzle I am under orders to save a slice for Lisa at Woodlands ;D

[christina]

I am so sad I can't make this, I love cake nearly as much as I love dogs ;D

[Baglady]

If anyone else fancies a bit of rock & roll today and could help out in the kitchen at the same time, please come and join us at Victoria Park, Barry, at 1 o'clock

It's going to be

Fabulous day at the Park today

Starbarks was THE place to get your coffee, tea and sugar rush!



Massive thanks to everyone who baked, Christina, Becky, Bern, Sandra, Cheryl & Sian, and to my very good friend Mr Morrisons ;D

We were all set up and ready to go, took a few pics before we opened café Starbarks, but didn't stop for a second once we were open for business.
Those cakes sold themselves, and we sold every last one!

The pictures I didn't get - Bern's famous lemon drizzle cake and Victoria sponge, and Sandra, at the helm, who whizzed around faster than a latte whisk all day


Really enjoyed the craic, and we made a fabulous £211.87

Thanks again, especially to Sandra, you truly were heroic today

[Becky]

Amazing you two ;D What a fabulous amount!! x

[christina]

Woohoo! I loved doing this, please set me up with all the cakey challenges! Fab amount of money raised too ;D
