Like something out of Alice in Wonderland, cake-stands made with mismatched teacups and plates can add a magical touch to birthdays, baby showers, weddings or even just a girly tea party!

Many second hand stores have great vintage plates and teacups that would be perfect for a project like this and really cheap too. so get thrift-shopping!

To make a cake-stand like the one shown here, simply use a strong glue to bond a plate, facing upwards, to the bottom of a teacup. Repeat to form a 2 or even 3-tier stand. Put your favourite plate on top as this will be where the centrepiece cake will go and won’t be covered by another tier.

Model, student and runner-up of last year’s Great British Bake Off, Ruby Tandoh, has landed a book deal.

Ruby lost the bake-off title to Frances Quinn, but gained attention with her many tears on the show and an attack by chef Raymond Blanc who said she was “so thin” and made him “doubt of her love for great cooking, baking,”.

We all know chefs have a temper but that was a bit unnecessary!

The book, Crumbs, will be published this year by Chatto and Windus. It has been said that there were up to nine publishers fighting to give her the deal.

Judging by her baking skills on GBBO, this is one book we’ll be adding to our kitchen shelves.
