What a great idea - we will definitely come along. Looking forward to it already. Mia says as it's a posh garden party does she have to wear a hat only she's got a new fancy collar that she would rather wear instead!

Polo and Elsa have the very responsible job of being my taste testers for the Doggy Bakery (aka. Castledon's Canine Cafe) They are giving their full approval to the Pilchard cake that i've just baked - it's a hard job but someone's got to do it! Found a nice recipe for sausage biscuits, so will be having a go at those shortly - might need to put Elsa & Polo on a diet before the Garden Party!

Tink and Mia heard the word sausages and immediately volunteered their taste testing services free of charge

Really looking forward to seeing you all at the Garden Party! :-)
If we have any Cake makers and/or Jam makers amongst us that would be willing to make some for us to sell on the day, we'd love to hear from you :-)
Let's make this the biggest & best fundraiser Castledon has ever held!!

We can make some cakes, probably Tink's chocolate brownies (blimey that sounds well dodgy!) or Mia's Hedgehog Slices (not sure they sound any better!)

Found a nice recipe for sausage biscuits, so will be having a go at those shortly - might need to put Elsa & Polo on a diet before the Garden Party! Well, had a go at making the sausage biscuits. When I rolled the dough out it was too sticky to cut into shapes so I had to get creative. I decided to roll a piece of dough into a long sausage shape, which i then rolled up into a swirl. Very nice, I thought - they look like a savoury cinnamon swirl. Into the oven they went - the smell was lovely, like sausage rolls cooking. After the allotted time, I took them out of the oven and just fell about laughing My beautiful sausage swirls looked like, well how can i put it politely? - dog turds! Think i'll have to go back to the drawing board on that one.....! On a positive note, Elsa & Polo LOVE them! Going to have another go tomorrow

Sizzling Sausage Slices sorted! Taste exactly the same as the Sausage Swirly Whirly Turds but look a tad more appetising!
