I was introduced to Claire Ptak’s Violet Bakery through a friend and visited it last the weekend – you can read all about it here.

Here’s where it gets even better – I have a copy of The Violet Bakery Cookbook to give away (if you can pry it out of my fingers – it’s so beautiful!!) To be in with a chance of winning, enter in one of the following ways:

Facebook: Like my Facebook page and Share the post on the FB page.

Twitter: Follow me on Twitter and Re-tweet this post.

I’ll pull all of the entries together across both channels and will pick someone at random. Competition ends a week from now, on Monday 27th April at 6pm GMT. UK residents only.

To whet your appetite, here’s a Wild Blackberry Crumble Tart from the cookbook that I made recently (except with raspberries and blueberries):

I was provided with the Violet Cakes Cookbook by Square Peg for competition purposes. I was not paid for this post and all views are my own.
