About me: OUR CAKES ESCAPED! DID YOU 'TAKE THE CAKE'?
THE GREAT CAKE ESCAPE
we would love to see cakes invading the streets every day...
So get baking, cake crusaders, and a trail of brightly coloured treats shall populate the urban landscape forever more!
from baker street to old street...
from spitalfields to hoxton square...
here, there and everywhere...
find me//read me//take me//EAT...
if you dare.

NEXT EVENTS:
THIS WEEK we celebrate turning TWO WHOLE YEARS OLD would you believe? We've been cake-dropping all over the UK for the last two years since Cherry Bakewell's birthday and we must have made thousands upon thousands of cakes in that time. We're celebrating in style by taking cakes along to not one but two events this SATURDAY...FIRSTLY we'll be taking them to Fiesta at 333 as they also celebrate their 2nd bday (Jeff Leach was the first cake-taker to send us a message and invite us to do events so thanks to him for what ensued!) and then also we're helping launch the brilliant blog The Most Cake at ace new venue The Book Club just around the corner. So if you're in Shoreditch pop by to either night and take one of our special bday cakes of our hands for nada!
Have you seen the little film that Mr Michael Travis made for us? he followed us around over 18 months armed with his camera and the baby film about the project can now be seen online on Babelgum-we're film stars! Take a look here: www.babelgum.com/3020623/the-great-cake-escape.html
FONDANT FANCY and CHERRY BAKEWELL would be delighted to bring cakey magic to a street or event near you...
what started as a birthday wish, extended to a little project to keep us out of mischief and boredom...and now the cakes have taken us on many fantastic adventures and we're excited to see where the cakes shall escape to next...ideas, challenges and requests on a postcard please! Or message/email us...takethecake@hotmail.co.uk
See calendar for details of where you can catch up and some of our infamous cakes...
..
Yes, the babycakes are indeed one whole year old...1000s of escaped cakes and millions of hundreds and thousands on, we are delighted the project is still going on and that cake drops are still happening across London and the UK. To celebrate our first year's birthday, we did an extra special cake drop on Saturday 22nd NOVEMBER around the place where the inaugural one occurred. There was one extra special golden cupcake hidden for one lucky cake taker to find and win a mystery prize. Nobody found it or claimed their prize though....Booo! Willy Wonka didn't have this problem... Let us know if you find it!
Lots of lovely people joined us in Hoxton Square for a street tea party to celebrate with a much needed warming cup of hot chocolate and a cake or two...We love meeting you all, keep your eyes peeled for more cake drops!
