I swapped words for cake. {My iced debut in The Telegraph}

I was very fortunate to call the newsroom of The Telegraph my home for a year or so. I have since moved on, but to finish on a high note some popped a pretty cool question.

The weekend team were aware that I was the office's 'Cake Girl', as I would often wander around annoying people by offering sugary treats as they were writing about Syria or Brexit. 

So the editor asked if I'd fancy making the wedding cake for the "ultimate wedding survival guide" weekend spread.

Of course, I said yes.

The lady behind these incredible cake toppers is Clare Basham Designs and she is wonderfully talented.

Each pearl is hand piped and as I knew the dolls would be very bold and colourful, I wanted to give them a nice canvas. So I opted for classic white.

One year older, none the wiser - I'm back!

The space of 6 months I have aged by one year, become a qualified journalist, crashed my car, got another tattoo and have decided to learn how to skateboard.

The awesome bunch that I spent my evenings and Saturdays with. My favourite thing to take away from that experience is to write shorthand when you're on the tube. It gets some pretty varied reactions. One bloke got up and sat somewhere else because he clearly thought I was a spy.
