Mums on Top

How many plates can you possibly have to create at this time of the year?  There are endless occasions that require a plate, and unfortunately, one that needs to be laden with goodies.  (And while we are all for cutting up an Ernest Adams slice and artfully arranging it on a platter to fob off as your own, sometimes it’s just not going to cut it).

Thankfully, Alice Arndell has got you completely covered this Silly Season with a her fabulous book Alice in Bakingland, jammed full of delicious treats.  You’ll be whipping out your apron and churning out choux pastry faster than we can say Domestic Goddess.  And to deliver the goods looking at their absolute best, Dots n Spots have got you covered with beautiful party wear.  Mini milk bottles, striped paper straws, everything you need for packaging up beautiful cupcakes, and even an alphabet stamp set to make your own labels.

Of course, sometimes the Domestic Goddess just doesn’t have time, so why not break into a delicious Love Cake brownie mix?  (Everyone can open a packet and mix, right?)  There’s gorgeous Moondarra cheese to lay out when guests drop by unexpectedly (no really, thanks so much for your unannounced arrival while my house looks like a tornado has just whipped through, may I offer you some cheese?).  Six Barrel Soda will keep everyone cooled off, and Borges Olive Oil will do fabulous things in your kitchen.  And look, if worse comes to worse, you could always dish up delicious The Collective yoghurt for everyone.  (Put it in a fancy dish, it totally counts as a plate).

This competition has now closed.  Thank you for entering.
