Jamie Oliver's TED award speech

At Kate's Kitchen, we care about good food and good ingredients. The Good Mood Food blog linked to this earlier today and we definitely think it's worth twenty minutes of your sunday to watch.

"I wish for a everyone to help create a strong sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again, and empower people everywhere to fight obesity."

To cake or not cake, that is the question!

Last week one of our customers tweeted that they had picked up some cake decorations in the store, we mentioned we'd love to see a pic of the cake, but we weren't expecting anything! So last night, Magnum Lady shared some pics from cakes she has made with decorations from our shop.

Head over to Magnum Lady's blog, she has a great selection of photos, and treats!
