First post

Hi! Welcome to the first post on my blog. Thoughts of food (particularly chocolate and cake) occupy a lot of space in my head as anyone who knows me would attest to. I thought a blog would be a good outlet for my obsession as well as helping me to further develop skills in photography and baking.

Its taken afew weeks to get this up and running. The name alone took a week to think of. There are a lot of food blogs out there and it was difficult finding something which someone else hadnt thought of. Thank you to Mel - no 'Afternoon Delight' is not a good name for a food blog! and Michael for listening to my ideas. Also to Zohra for your suggestions and helpfully advising me to stay away from names such as 'Mandys sticky buns' and 'Mandys tasty treats'.

I've been constantly fiddling about with the layout and design of the blog, it will continue to be a working progress.

It was fun doing my first photoshoot today. I took 60 shots! Thank you to Sarah who has kindly allowed me to borrow her super duper digital camera (Canon 450D) to practice on.


I hope you like it and that this is somewhere you can come to to share your foodie thoughts

Thank you for stopping by.

Mandy x
