Gluten Free Social Media

We are trying to get to grips with the current Century (er, exactly which one are we in?) so we have the Facebook page and we have the Twitter account and now.... drum roll please... we have the website. Its all well and good but in a little company like we are its another full time job. I find myself daily (possibly twice daily if I'm honest) looking at FB to see if we've got more likes. Checking to see if Nigel Slater has replied to my tweets (he does you know) and wondering if there is anything else I can do to the website. Its madness this obsession with social media, but apparently (and I think I've said this before) you are only as good as the number of likes and followers and visitors your social media sites have. Needless to say we're struggling - lol.

Another new cake coming this week, following hot on the heels of Costa Rican Bread Pudding which we discovered in well... Costa Rica, San Jose to be exact in a little cafe in the central market. Budin is its official name and we now sell my take on this lovely cinnamon flavoured sweet thing. The newby is Chocolate Beetroot Cake and its gluten free! I wanted to add a gluten free cake to the 'main' cake range rather than have a little offering on a cake stand in a corner and this is what is coming. We are going to try it out and see what the response is. It didn't last long at home when I tested it out on my willing volunteers so I await the feedback in whatever form it comes, Facebook twitter etc.etc.

The bluebells have been stunning this year and we were all ready to see a promise of summer after the really cold weather we've been having. The garden is generally looking fantastic and I for one am really looking forward to the new few weeks when summer finally arrives.

See you soon.
