Peckover House

I love to get lost in these beauteous houses belonging to The National Trust. I went to Peckover House in Wisbech on a normal Sunday and it was there that I meet Stacey Evans.

Peckover1 She was there baking scones in the same way as they used to do in the Georgian Era. The kitchen is just spectacular with all the utensils that you need for cooking and baking.

I struck up a conversation with Tracy about how nice it must be to bake in such a wonderful kitchen. Imagine how thrilled I was when she asked if I would like to come back another day and bake and decorate one of my cakes there.

A few weeks later I returned and was surprised to be handed a period costume to wear in the kitchen. Needless to say I haven’t posted a photo of this! Feeling a little bit foolish I set about decorating my Classic Vanilla Cupcakes and the Buttercream Ruffle Cake.

How it all began….

Posted on by

 

Everything started here in Fitzbillies when I saw an advertisment on a website “We are looking for a cake decorator”. So I said to myself “Anna, I think you can do this”. Without any experience of cake decorating at all, but with more than 15 years of experience working in fashion design I began my journey….Soon I was baking, decorating cakes and cupcakes and taking photos and after a week I had my cake portfolio. I was so pleased when I got the job!!

My favourite cake from Fitzbillies  was the Sacher Torte. A delicious chocolate sponge cake with apricot jam and dark chocolate.  It is one of the most famous Viennese culinary specialties and was invented by Frank Sacher in 1832 for Prince Wenzel Von Metternich in Vienna, Austria.

One day I would love to go to the Hotel Sacher in Vienna which Frank Sacher’s son opened in 1876 and try the best Sacher Torte in the world.  Here is my version of Sacher Torte in honour of Frank Sacher with Franks splendid moustache added for fun!

I was in Budapest for Christmas last year and on my list of places to visit was The Café Gerbeaud. I still remember the delicious dessert I had  and I come back home with a Sacher Torte. I still keep the bag and the serviette to remind me.
