I’ve made a few cocktails with the raspberry vodka, the last one on NYE which I made up and called the Balmoral Bathing Beauty Any excuse to make up cocktails really.

Oh of course, a link is much appreciated most definitely! That’s more than fine, your bagels looked terrific!

Hi Y-I find the red cover more striking and perhaps its a matter of loving to see your own name in lights but when I see the custom embroidered Not Quite Nigella I get rather happy

I’m in the “would love a Kitchenaid too” brigade! And yes, hubby is the dough kneader in this family too (he did that yesterday for me.. I have carpal tunnel syndrome which makes a job like that especially hard).

Great job in finding someone who makes Kitchenaid covers! Great presentation of it too in your photo’s here. I noted the raspberry vodka! Have you cooked with that?

I was saying to hubby yesterday after seeing your cover for the first time - that I’d be so excited to have a Kitchenaid appliance.. I’d not want to cover it up. Initially! I do understand though that it’d just get kitchen greasies all over it.. so it makes sense to have a cover for it.

The baking I did yesterday was pure inspiration from *you*. It was a batch of 15 bagels! When I post about them and add the photo’s .. is it ok that I link to your website to say where I originally gained the inspiration? Of course I’ll mention it’s a Nigella Lawson recipe too. I’m so glad I tried a new recipe.. I do that sort of thing in “spurts”!

I’m sure you’ll get loads of cupcake orders which will mean the KA will be yours in no time! But most importantly, which colour do you like?

Its so worth it, for those like us that bake a lot its fabulous so do try and save up for it.

Hi Polka Dot Bride-I beam with pride every time I walk past it (or is it vanity ). The woman who makes it also embroiders other things. I think a custom embroidered set of chic teatowels would be gorgeous as a kitchen tea gift for a bride to be!
