Cucumber sandwiches and strawberry tarts.......definitely yes. Can we have some here to test soon?

Thank you ladies,i have lots of lovely ladies that bake for me when i need cakes so i won't need to go to marks & sparks Christine & the jam for the scones will be homemade too,just not in our home,not sure you'll get samples befor hand but if i know my army of bakers there'll be plenty of leftovers for our late night snack the day i do it

Wow how lovely to have lots of cooks. I haven't made strawberry jam for a few years now. We used to go and pick the strawberries and we ate so many while we were picking them we had to make the rest into yummy jam and freeze some for later.

I was renowned for my cakes and tarts and pies but since Ray became ill I haven't had the heart to bake, I don't really even cook much any more. Hence Marks and Spencer's.

Look forward to the left overs xx.

Lakeland also sell variousretty cake stands and they have bun cases and lots of lovely things to devorate with. I could spend a fortune 

Our neighbour makes strawberry shortcakes, ooooh so yummy

I love baking, I just baked a load of bread and rolls so my hubby won't run out of bread whilst I am in hospital  I had a Sainsbury delivery today as well so the freezer is full of pizza etc.

Heis quite capable of looking after himself, but when you are working, hospital visiting etc.. You dont have the energy to do much else.

Can't remember the last time i baked but i do know the last time i made bread was when i was at school & i'm not even going to think how many years ago that was

Thank you all for your ideas & help,i'll have to have a trip to peterborough & a look round lakeland, mind you last time i was in there i didn't get anything connected to baking,i spent a fortune on crackers (because they had an elf racing game) & toys for the tree presents from the cat to everybody that was here on boxing day

I always get overwhelmed in Lakeland as there is so much lovely stuff. I usually look on the website first so I can find out what it might be I want. You can also get on the mailing list for a catalogue. I can promise I don't work for them haha

I love baking bread it is very therapeutic. I also love biscuits, they don't keep long in our house though. 

The cake stands i. Lakeland look fairly expensive if you need several of them.

i love Lakeland too.....and my son gets staff discount :)

Even though i don't bake i can spend ages pottering round there.i get emails nearly every day to tell me what's on offer,i'll have a look tomorrow & see what ideas i can pick up

I love homemade biscuits,i used to make them with the stepson but now he's 18 he doesn't stay over, just comes to get fed at the weekend then he's gone again
