I was inspired to write a quick blog post on this subject whilst stumbling across a lovely blog titled “British Cream Tea” run by a lady called Ouissi, who teaches her readers to stitch and make felt cakey creations amongst other gems. Her latest blog post was titled “The 3 reasons why I am not doing this alone” and she talks about how in business, you are advised to surround yourself by a great team, b

I get asked several times a week on my opinions of the best Afternoon Tea spots in Cambridge and the surrounding area. I have reviewed many places over the last 2.5 years for my column in The Cambridgeshire Journal Magazine, it’s so much fun! Of course, first of all, I would say, book me to visit you in your home and teach you how to make your own AMAZING Afternoon Tea offerings.. but if that doesn’t suit your need

After 3 years of very successful and fun Afternoon Tea events, I am now offering up my Afternoon Tea Baking expertise in the form of my new Baking School.. in your very OWN home.

I plan to be your very own “Fairy Cake Mother” – Resting by your side with a cuppa in hand showing you how to bake, but letting you do it all… you

Nowadays, there is a competition or giveaway for absolutely anything and everything and more and more people have become cynical about them.  I entered a Facebook competition a while back and two people had pretty much a go at me, advising me that it was a *con* and that it was just a marketing strategy.  To me, that is absolutely fine, it hasn’t hurt me to enter, I just had to *Like* a Facebook post, no harm done. How o

On Saturday, I was lucky enough to be invited to help judge 100 chocolate cakes as part of the Cambridge Bake Off with the Cambridge Evening News. Yes, you read that correctly, one HUNDRED chocolate cakes! We took over the Cambridge Cookery School and the lovely owner, Tine Roche guided is through each cake, allowing is to sample a tiny mouthful of each in a controlled manner so as not to make any of us sick with cake overload

I was emailed at the start of April by a lady called Alison who teaches English to foreign students visiting Cambridge and she had been asked to help with a special request by a student she was currently teaching. The lovely lady she’d been helping was a Japanese student visiting Cambridge for just 4 weeks, wanting to learn to bake her very own traditional Afternoon Tea. How could I resist? The only problem was that Mai,

As well as helping to judge the Cambridge Bake Off (starting this weekend, very exciting!) I have also been asked to judge a “Masterchef” style competition as a fundraiser event for Papworth Trust with John Lewis in June, I’m so excited to be asked to help, so of course I said that I would be thrilled to. You, my lovely readers, are also invited to come along and try some gourmet food at a great ticket price, so why not book a

Last week I gave my readers & followers the chance to publicly ask me absolutely anything.  No rules, no topics, just to ask “Miss Sue Flay” a question… and for me to answer it as best I can.  I have to say, I was inspired by the very talented & crafty lady, Claire Wilson who is better known online as Claireabellemakes. She did this and it inspired me to see what my followers would ask of me.  To sa

Following my recent adventures and new found interest in Private Household Management & etiquette training, I’ve been finally getting into reading books… real, actual BOOKS!  Anybody that knows me, namely my family, will know I’m one of those people that reads a chapter, gets bored (or I should probably say, distracted!) and moves onto the next one.      However, I have got the reading bug ever since the
