Welcome to the first Sass & belle does Great British Bake Off! We love to bake and more importantly we love to eat cake. We’ve been thoroughly enjoying the series so far, but let’s be honest, you haven’t seen baking until you’ve seen Sass & Belle bake. Did you catch the GBBO biscuit episode last night? We don’t want to give away any spoilers, but we really liked Floral’s biscotti. Inspired by yesterday’s episode, we decided to share with you one of our favourite classic biscuit recipes. Aiko talks us through her delightful gingerbread biscuits. Do you think she’s got what it takes to be a star baker? (We sampled her yummy treats and we’d say she definitely does!)

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…

Wedding season is well and truly upon us! Whether you’re a guest sipping Champagne or you’re walking down the aisle and saying ‘I do’ it’s hard not to have all the love go to your head (or maybe it’s the bubbles!). Each wedding we’ve attended we’ve collectively cooed and applauded as Brides continue to wow us with their incredible table displays. Becoming as integral as the food being served (well, almost), knowing what sets a good table display apart can be hard. Luckily Sass & Belle are here with some golden tips and tricks we’ve picked up along the way…

At Sass & Belle we admire those thrifty folk who can turn an old, unwanted item into an upcycled treasure. So we tried our hand at it and we’re pretty pleased with the results (even if we do say so ourselves). It’s easy to be crafty and kind to the environment and we’re going to share with you our results and tips. This week we took some old unloved books and turned them into art. Yep…that’s right. Art!

To mark the start of British Flowers Week we decided to celebrate the beautiful blossoms with our very own how to. Flowers can make a room and they are often said to change the entire feel of a wedding, thus considered a vital part of the preparations. Dried flowers are currently very on-trend with Brides-to-be. Not only do they add tons of rustic charm, but they last too. This means you can get crafty with them weeks before your big day and your masterpiece won’t wilt.
