Ryde Christmas Stocking Appeal

06/06/2026

£165 donated on behalf of the Ryde community who came to support this mornings’ cake sale.
Donated with love and hope for a quick resolution to this awful situation. ❤️

On Monday 1st June, our family experienced a devastating house fire at our home in Westw… Harry Rimell needs your support for Newbridge horrific bungalow fire

06/06/2026

Despite the wind and the rain this morning, £165 was raised at the cake sale today, all the money will go to the family involved in a house fire earlier this week in Newbridge to provide some immediate help and support. Thank you to the kind community of Ryde and thank you as always to the Royal Victoria Arcade for letting us use their space. ❤️
I will transfer the money into the Go Fund Me page , however it only allows me to provide my own name and no message which is a bit sad as it would be nice for the family to know how the community came out to support them!! 😊

I will post more details soon…….

Although there was no cake sale this weekend I have been busy nonetheless!
Experimenting with various recipes for homemade sweet treats, some were a disaster and I had to start again, I learned that you can not take your eye of the sugar thermometer, not even for 2 seconds!😂
The results in the end were good and I believe I have narrowed down the best versions to create some of my favourite treats!!!
Chocolate covered honeycomb.
Homemade fudge.
My own homemade nougat!!

During the testing I lost my favourite jug to the bin after I destroyed it by accident!!

If anyone has foolproof recipes for these please, please share with me!🙏
Thank you. 😊

There will be no cake sale this weekend, May 9th due to the Walk the Wight and other cake sales nearby!
We’ll be back the weekend after, in the meantime please continue your support by donating gifts for the stockings and gift bags, fabric so I can start making the stockings, or a small donation of money to go to the fund!
Thank you 🙏
