Talitha Crowe finishing a hand-decorated cakeTalitha's Cakes, part of 'A Family Thing', 59 High Street, Wincanton, is the fledgling business of Talitha Crowe. A graduate of Bournemouth University, with a BA in Computer Visualisation and Animation, Talitha has chosen to use her animation skills to bring her beautiful cake designs to life.

She is following in the footsteps of all her maternal relatives. From Scotland, part of the family moved to South Africa in the 1800's, and from there the family grew and spread throughout the world, bringing with them a rich and diverse artistic heritage, from great cooking and baking, to decorating, painting and sculpting. Ranging from the UK, Scotland, Canada and Africa, Talitha is keeping the family traditions alive.

Along with her mother, Dale, they are bringing all the old family recipes out of the archive and revamping them, along with many more recent additions. The images here show just what can be done with cake design.

Call in to the shop to see what Talitha can do, try a piece of cake or just browse.

The emporium, A Family Thing, also comprises An Occasional Chair, with beautifully restored furniture and other pre-loved home-wares such as vintage cups and saucers, and a workshop where Talitha's mother, Dale does alterations, dressmaking and hand-made gifts.

There is something new to see every week, so do pop in and have a browse.

Cookies, you say?

Were they the dry, crunchy kind or the heavenly soft kind?

I feel this warrants further investigation.
