Leila's Shop takeover
I’ll be heading down to London on Saturday the 15th June to collaborate with the fantastic pastry chef/Baker Nicola lamb! We’ll be staging a takeover of Leila’s Shop in Shoreditch.
On the Saturday Nicola will be cooking up some recipes from her new book, Sift, and we’ll be offering “Cake-on-a-Plate” where you can pick up a piece of Cake-made by Nicola, on a Plate- made by me- for a special combo price!
If you can’t make it on the Saturday, don’t worry- I’ll be there on the Sunday, selling a wider range of pottery, and still some Cake-on-a-Plate, should stocks last.
