Wedding Fayre Fats I'm getting married next July. My mum and I went to a wedding fayre in a local town today; if you've never heard of these, it's where a lot of local suppliers each have a stall in a venue and they try to get bookings. So there'll be photographers, bridal boutiques, stationers, make up artists and, of course, cake makers.  My mum and I were making our way around the stalls today. I've actually booked most of the things I need so it was more of a check to see that I've got everything and that there wasn't anything I've missed out. I haven't thought too much about the cake yet so I thought I'd check out some stalls today; there were 3. Every one of them had a gaggle of fatties just desperate to get a free cake sample. They probably weren't even getting married! Two of the stalls were definitely more themed and one had beautiful, classic cakes. I went and spoke to the (fit) stall holder when there was finally a gap to squeeze through and we spent about 20 minutes discussing designs and flavours etc. I ended up booking a consultation with her so she'll be the one making my cake. I was about to walk away and she exclaimed, "wait! You haven't even had a sample!"   I said that I was ok and that the cakes looked great so I didn't need to try; that's what the consultation is for, when I'll decide on flavours etc. She laughed and said that she usually gets people walking up, demanding cake samples and not even speaking to her about her work, never mind making a booking.   I swear some people go to these things for free food. There was an ice cream cart and sweetie table on offer too. I'm not having either of those because I'm paying for champagne and canapés after the ceremony...a wedding is not an excuse for gluttony. My guests will be extremely well fed!
