People often like all the negative gossip, but September has mostly been great.
We started with a wedding near Edinburgh Castle, a place with a small kitchen where we had to carry a lot of equipment up and down using an elevator, but it was worth it. People loved the buffet.
We followed with our first Stockbridge market. It was supposed to be one time off. I don’t know if this review influenced it, but we got an offer for a spot every second Sunday of the month, so HELLO STOCKBRIDGE!
The following weekend, we had our first LGBTQ+ civil partnership (We already got two other lgbtq+ wedding requests, so I hope it will be the first of many.)
The couple couldn’t be more kind, and it was an honour to be catering for a vegan pioneer, as one of them had opened the first vegan cafe in Scotland back in 1990.
We really enjoyed it, they had really good music and they even gave me a birthday card as they knew it was my birthday that day. Everyone loved the food, including those who eat meat. We received a few nice feedback, such as the coleslaw being the best they had ever had, or that they weren’t very sure about the cauliflower Mac n cheese, but they loved it.
That wedding had tiramisu along with two other desserts on the buffet, and two friends tried some, and they really liked it. So, I asked on Instagram if people would buy some tiramisu, and many of you said yes. In October, there will be an opportunity to buy the first batch, which will have a special launch price, as we want to test it. I apologise in advance, as you will receive more than one email in October, as I’ll give preference to everyone who reads the newsletter.
And to finish the month, we ended on a high note. By 2:30 pm, we were already sold out at Leith Market. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope the market will gain more popularity and we can become part of people’s Saturday’ routine.

More pop-ups (one very, very nice in November) and some time off. We still need to finish some tasks in our unit, and we require some time to complete them.
