We don’t know about you but at Sass & Belle, we love Christmas decorations! We also adore sweet treats so we thought it was absolutely integral that now the festive season is upon us, we do a little DIY on edible Christmas decorations. Gingerbread is an obvious choice because of its Christmassy connotations, lasting power and, most importantly, deliciousness. Now who can resist that? Just make sure you make enough so you don’t have a half empty tree by Christmas Eve!

On Friday, it may have been a very dreary and wet July afternoon but we were having fun and frolics in the shelter of Sass & Belle HQ! To raise money for Breast Cancer Care we held our very own Strawberry Tea – all part of Breast Cancer Care’s Summer fundraiser. Our ordinary conference room was transformed to a pretty room full of scrumptious treats! There were strawberries aplenty and lots of sugary goodness which we happily indulged in. We baked, we put up bunting, we drank (a lot) of Pimms and most importantly we donated. Here are some tips from our bakers, pictures of the big day and a little bit about how Breast Cancer Care is changing lives…

Lent is finally over! Well done to everyone who has abstained from treats for 40 days! What could be better than Carrot Cupcakes? Lately the prettiest baking products have come into stock, including this bohemian cake stand. Pretty baking equipment is the best inspiration to bake all day long, and Easter was the perfect excuse to get in the kitchen! Here’s a simple recipe for you:

Of course normally you can expect chocolate eggs and family feasts over Easter, but we worked on something little different for you. We now have pretty Easter Cookie Cutters (available online) which come in super cute packaging making this an ideal surprise gift! Here we’ll show you some fun ways to decorate cookies – you’re going to get your hands dirty! This is also the perfect activity to get little ones involved as well.
