A few years before I opened my shop, I was offered the opportunity to go on a chocolate making course at the renowned Barry Callebaut chocolate academy in Banbury. As a lover of chocolate how could I resist! After this, I was well and truly hooked and started making my own truffles. After a little experimenting, I discovered a great recipe for my truffles, using the finest Belgian chocolate, UHT cream and flavouring; thus making them naturally GLUTEN AND WHEAT FREE. My customers always say how they can taste the flavour of the truffle, its meant to be that way my Lovlies!! No nasties, sorbitol or additives are added, so its a delight on the taste buds.
Whilst watching TV one day; I saw a cookery programme where the chef was making marsh mallows, I had a go and developed my fluffy cloud mallows, which are also GLUTEN WHEAT AND DAIRY FREE, but not suitable for vegetarians due to the gelatine used. I usually make 3 different flavours, but Eton Mess has proved to be the favourite with many customers.
Over the many years of making cakes, 30, I have won over 23 awards, including "best in class", and Masterclass. I have also been one of the judges at Cake International for over 11 years. My claim to fame...lol..is making two cakes for Renshaws, the market leader for sugarpaste and marzipan. Search Dimples the "sleeping dalmation", which went viral, to see how they found me, then "Henrietta the Christmas turkey", and "Lucinda the spring lamb". I am also teacher trained, and have been teaching cake decoratting and sugar craft for many years, and have had great fun teaching many ladies in our local area.
After having to close my shop November 2017, T C Cakes Goodie box, in Castle street, Hinckley, due to needing a total shoulder replacement, and along with 2 other joint replacements, (bionic woman nearly) I am now able to offer a range of handmade to order custom icing cake toppers too, classes, Pop Up Pudding evenings, desserts to order, as well as my delicious Hand made Belgian chocolate truffles and more. Once or twice a week I bake different treats and goodies, from my 5 star rated free from kitchen, all of which are GLUTEN AND WHEAT FREE, and some DAIRY FREE TOO. These are posted on my facebook page, and usually go very quickly!!
The name Lovlies originates from my Devonshire background, where "my Lovlies" is an affectionate way of greeting people.
I hope you enjoy, my lovlies,
