Yes this is me at the real No 10 Downing Street!
If you are not sure what this is it is where the UK Prime Minister lives and works, a bit like the White House, but smaller!
Why was I there, you ask...well...to bring cake to the corridors of power of course!
Myself and Miss Cakehead were creating a special gruesome afternoon tea for The Ministry of Stories, a charity which uses story-telling to inspire young people, teaching them confidence, self-respect and communication. The Ministry took over the state rooms to host a special cabinet meeting to celebrate their second year of providing volunteer led programmes aimed at boosting creativity and literacy.
To compliment the meeting, we laid out a deliciously monstrous tea party, which the children and the adults tucked into with relish!
There were golden dragon''s teeth (they really do make your hair curly!)
A variety of severed ears, pixie, human child and goblin.
Trolls toes.
Pots of mud and worms.
Witches toes.
And arm pit hair..delicious!
I have to say I was a bit nervous (well, alot nervous!), I didn't see any politicians but it was one of the most surreal experiences of my life! And I'm not sure where I could go from there, maybe my caking career has peaked and now it's all down hill! But at least I got a picture.
