Listen, I ate this today and it's incredibly delicious. Karen Smith is now working in Hipkeycafe and they opened (softly) this morning. Great coffee and the tastiest treats. You can tell Karen is delighted I'm papping her. 😂😁

Well it's been a hell of a first year in business. As we are closing until January, I am chuffed to finish by making a cake for someone I really love. Here is my Christmas Tree Millionaire Twix Cake. Wishing you all the most peaceful day tomorrow, whatever way you spend it. 🙏
