Here are a couple of posts we have picked up on recently with our lovely cup cake papers.

The talented photographer Rowe Timson captured Gabe’s first birthday with the most gorgeous photos. See our Carnival stripe patty pans on the elaborate table. What a beautiful party. See website for Rowe Timson here.

Also spotted are the lovely cup cakes by Madelaine. See website here.

She has used our Fairy Princess papers to make beautiful, beautiful cakes.

It is exciting for us to see our product and the personal ways people use them. If you have any images of our patty pans with your own creations, please let us know – we would love to share. - kate

Here are some very rough and blurry photos of our lovely trade fair stand. I apologise for the quality- wasn’t much light during set-up. Thank you to all our customers who visited us at the fair, and made February 2012 one of the best yet. If you have any questions about the product in the pics, please let me know. - Kate.

I thought I would share with you my version of a Christmas tree; branches sprayed in white, propped in our large jug and decorated with our vintage baubles and ornaments. I quickly made the mini bunting using pinking shears, red and white fabric and green bias binding. A bit of a cheats version, but I love it! - Kate

Last month, we were treated to a beautiful lunch at Guy Grossi’s Merchant.  We are very lucky here at Robert Gordon, to  work with Australia’s best chefs- making, creating, glazing, and firing beautiful custom made pieces for their restaurants. We have worked with Guy Grossi and his lovely wife Melissa for some time now. Merchant is a vibrant, exciting Italian restaurant – it was a joy making the ceramics to match.

The girls, Sally, Sue, Rani and Naisim, who actually glazed and decalled the pieces were thrilled to be able to see them at work.
