March is ‘Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month’, and they are asking you to make time for tea this month by holding a tea party and celebrate the revival of all things vintage, to help save the lives of the women we love.

This year – the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee – they are inviting you to celebrate vintage glamour: fabulous frocks, retro crockery, kitsch cupcakes… Bring out the porcelain and get family, friends, and colleagues together for some classic fun at a quintessentially British tea party.

The campaign which is now in it’s 7th year, with it’s vintage theme will be spearheaded by Lorraine Kelly, has also put together a competition. Supporters will have the chance to meet Lorraine Kelly and will be invited to the live filming of ‘Lorraine’ at ITV Studios in London followed by brunch at a top London hotel – and winners will also be treated to a professional cupcake master class.
All you have to do is hold a tea party and send your money in by 31st May 2012 and you will be entered into the following categories:

Highest fund-raising tea party
Most beautiful cupcakes (send in photos with your funds)
Best vintage-dressed host (send in photos with your funds)

They say that Dorset holds the UK’s best kept food secret.

It’s the home of Honeybuns, which is a hands on team who make the most delicious cakes, cookies, layered shortbreads, brownies and savouries.

Emma Gross-Custard is the brainchild of Honeybuns which she started in 1998 when as a student, she delivered homemade tasty goodies to the foodies in Oxford from her push bike.

Now Honeybuns has grown through word of mouth and recommendations. Each cake is still handmade and slow baked in the vintage oven and all but two of their cakes are gluten free, with four dairy free.

They have won awards and have a book coming out this May which has 100 gluten free recipes in it.

Vintage and Retro is central to the company with the renewed interest very fashionable at the moment. They have their own little bee shack cafe,which used to be a chichen hut.
