This week, thestudio hosted a Ready Steady Bake event in celebration and support of Birmingham St. Mary’s Hospice.
Tweet us your favourite cake @studiovenues!
A helping hand…
What’s the best way to help a family in need? To bake some cakes of course! With a company donation made, it was time for thestudio staff to lock horns in an epic battle of sugar dusting and piping. (more…)
Sorry to waffle on, but we just wanted you to know… It’s International Waffle Day!
Ever tried a freshly made studio waffle? Well today’s your chance! Grab one on your afternoon break; tweet us your taste buds’ verdict @studiovenues.
Globe trotter…
These tasty treats can be found all over the globe, from Singapore to U.S.A, waffles have made the world their home. Drenched in maple syrup or crowned with strawberries and cream, with a plate full of choice, this master of meals can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner! (Not to mention they dish up a great dessert). (more…)
Join in celebration of this delicious day by grabbing an oat & raisin cookie…
Whether you’re a self-professed carnivore or just have a sweet tooth, from haggis to flapjacks, oats are so versatile they can be enjoyed by all!
Here @ thestudio (as you can tell) we love food, hence our National Food Day craze! With our love of food being at the fore front of what we offer, having unique menus is really important to us… With that in mind, have you had the pleasure of trying thestudio’s oat baked chicken?
Whether you prefer to pull them apart, fill up on the filling, or dunking them in milk, whatever your ritual, it’s only a matter of time before their inevitable devouring! Here @ thestudio we appreciate everyone’s different, however originally you dine; so join us for an afternoon pick me up with Oreos.
These darkly coloured delectables are allegedly vegan! Talk about chucking dietary requirements out the window. Ever tried the chocolate filled Oreos? There might be one or two hidden amongst the originals. If you’re lucky enough, tweet @studiovenues #plunder. (more…)
If you love bread and you love bananas, well, that makes today your lucky day as it’s Banana Bread Day!
Come join thestudio team for a freshly baked banana bread muffin.
In the 1930’s, banana bread rose to fame with the introduction of popular cooking products baking soda and baking powder. They fast became a familiar feature in American cook books and were even more renowned during the Great Depression. Banana bread signified the ingenuity of American housewives (who were not as lucky as those in Desperate Housewives), limiting waste in the unfortunate economic climate.
Today there are an abundance of recipes ensuring satisfaction for even the most unique of pallets! From using peanut butter to mango you can invent your own banana bread bonanza.
tweet your creations @studiovenues #bananabreadday
Well-wishing’s for the Chinese New Year…
Yes, you’ve guessed it, today is that special day which marks the revival of the Chinese calendar, so we bid adieu to the year of the Rat and welcome the year of the Goat. Alternatively known as the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year is packed full of cultural fun, from lion dancers to show stopping fireworks, the Chinese definitely know how to greet a year in style.
Money, money, money…
This auspicious occasion summons the cost-omary tradition to dish out doe in red envelopes, typically given as gifts by elders to the younger generations (lucky so and so’s). (more…)
If you were playing the wheel of fortune, what would be the first things you associate with Valentine’s Day? For us it would definitely be chocolate. And, flowers and heart covered cards, but that’s already three things.
Valentine’s is a tricky day to avoid; whether you’re a cat lady, not so eligible bachelor or a loved up couple who live on cloud 9, masses will either take part in or boycott this marmite of an occasion. Expectedly deserted by singletons and even some couples of the like, this holiday seems to be a prickly character. (more…)
“Why aren’t there many jokes about popcorn? Because they are corny.”
Now that this hilarious joke has grabbed your attention, we’d like to make an important announcement…. IT’S NATIONAL POPCORN DAY!
Did you know that this cinema favourite has been around for quite some time? Astonishingly enough, it was first cultivated 9000 years ago in Mexico. Wondering if they had cheese and jalapeno flavoured ones back then… (more…)
Christmas has come to an end and all the festivities firmly put to rest with the traditional purging of decorations. After every dessert laden and cheese board filled Christmas, it seems common among the masses to rejuvenate during January, working on that all important beach body for the summer. That’s on all of our minds, isn’t it? Most people, and we’re no different, tend to reflect on the previous year and in rose-tinted aspiration of the coming year, look forward to change.
This lead to the thought of this New Year’s resolutions and what thestudio team have set their sights on in 2015. (more…)
There is a particular phenomenon typically experienced by astronauts called the Overview Effect. When individuals view the pale blue dot (Earth) surrounded by the blackness of space it induces a sudden philosophical realisation of complete unity, recognition that:
“All life on earth is interconnected, and we are, in a very real sense, one.”
Unfortunately I haven’t viewed the Earth from space, but am certain, like me, you can appreciate this ethereal bond we have to our planet and to each other.
Walking for a Cause…
