Acknowledgements
My thanks go to a whole bunch of fab people that have helped me along the way with this book. To my boys for eating cake non-stop for a good long while until they reached the point of saying ‘please, no more cake’ (Yes that really can happen!).
To David & Charles for agreeing to work with me on a recipe book packed full of step-by-step photos in the first place, and to the team that kept me on the straight and narrow: Judith, Verity, Pru, Sarah, Ame, Ali and Katy.
Lorna and Jack for the gorgeous photos, making every cake come alive on the page, just the way I imagined it.
To the super dooper Louise Brimelow for her help in the kitchen on shoots – can you get me/weigh me/wash that up/mix me – I hope I wasn’t too much of a task master!
To Kenwood for the Pink K-Mix and Hand mixer – really making me The Pink Whisk.
Big thanks go to Wright’s for the endless supply of flour and to Silver Spoon, Billington’s and Nielsen-Massey for lots more ingredients that made these cakes possible.
Still there? Good, I’m not quite finished yet!
To Lucy, Ange & Kate, friends overseas who gave me the tip off where to shop!
And finally to ‘The Pink Whiskers’, readers of the blog, who have made it possible for me to write a book, for their support and words of encouragement when I most need it – You’re a fab bunch of people and I’m proud to say you’re my gang!
