I’m a giant fan of giant flea markets (Giants fleas are obviously better value for money than little fleas…) and I love the variety of things you can find in among the stalls. Recently I picked up a ‘Tala’ Icing pen at one stall then towards the end of the day the accompanying guide explaining ‘How to Decorate a Cake’ (all for the bargain price of £4 thanks to some haggling) just looking at the amount of icing on some of these creations makes my teeth hurt, but I’m planning to dust the icing pen down and have a go myself in time for Christmas. Particularly appealing are the ‘Cocktail Eggs’ with piped gelatine and mayonnaise in the centers…… does that call for a retro cocktail party??
