During the first six months of TMC’s giddy adventure, Lemon Tart has trawled the East End with her trusty camera, super sized flash and unfortunately inebriated assistants/cakettes more times than she cares to remember, snapping you at your very finest. Back at Cake HQ we can’t help but notice the impressive array of pouting talent that has been splashed across our little corner of cyber space as a result, … Continue Reading

I was pretty excited when I read that a fierce bidding war between distributors was sparked by lesbian flick ‘The Kids Are Alright’ following the film’s premier last week at the Sundance Film Festival. Focus Features, the distributor behind ‘Milk’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’, eventually emerged victorious and will soon be bringing the lesbian family saga to your local cinema. The film boasts heavyweight acting talent Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as lesbian couple Nic and Jules, who are experiencing some rather tricky parenting issues. … Continue Reading

Few of the Cakettes have been spared the joys of listening to my Penelope worshipping over the past year. Somehow, she failed to catch my eye until the day I sat down to watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona and realised she was quite clearly the woman of my dreams: Mediterranean, unpredictable, utterly beautiful and a little insane. I was sold. Her recent star turn in Broken Embraces only served to heighten my desire (Dynasty-esque power suits anyone?) … Continue Reading
Dear lovers of cake and other excellent things,
As time continues to creep up on us like a dishevelled Lindsay Lohan at one of Sam Ronson’s DJ sets, we just wanted to throw a little reminder your way about the edible fun-times due to occur next Saturday 21st November, at our jaunty little launch party. After four months of frolicking about with our beautiful site, we decided it’s time to take her out on the town and introduce her to some of our friends. She’s very pretty, but quite geeky, so please be gentle. However, give her a cake or two and she’s anyone’s. … Continue Reading

The L Word may be over and initial plans for a spin off based around Alice (Leisha Hailey) shelved, but Ilene Chaiken is far from done. Rumour has it that Showtime has commissioned nine episodes of Chaiken’s new brain child “The Real L Word: Los Angeles”. Yep, you guessed it, a show focusing on the lives of ‘real’ LA lesbians. According to Variety, the show will follow six LA lesbians as they go about their everyday lives. … Continue Reading

A quick browse through Friday’s copy of the Metro on my way to work led to the delightful discovery that Eva Green will soon be gracing our screens in a sapphic boarding school themed flick directed by Jordan Scott (daughter of Ridley) entitled ‘Cracks’. … Continue Reading

Many newspapers this week reported that a lesbian couple has won the right to IVF treatment on the NHS. As several writers exclaimed in their headlines, this was “At Taxpayers Expense!” Goodness, NHS treatments at the expense of taxpayers? Groundbreaking stuff! The outrage said writers experienced at this state of affairs must surely be to blame for their failure to place the requisite apostrophe after ‘Taxpayers’. But I digress. … Continue Reading

Fashion flashback … Natalia Vodianova and Isabeli Fontana draped in Versace (and, more importantly, each other) shot by Testino for the Fall/Winter ’08 campaign. Fashion doesn’t get much better. Ok, so they may look ‘straight’, but guess what? So do many of us. … Continue Reading

My idea of cooking usually involves a bag of pasta, a Lloyd Grossman sauce and some sundried tomatoes and olives thrown in if I’m feeling adventurous. Fortunately for me, all of the girls I’ve dated have been culinary geniuses and most of my friends are equally talented in that department, meaning I have been pretty well fed over the years (aside from one Thai green chicken curry incident that Ms Falconer would probably rather I didn’t mention). I had come to accept that I was never going to be able to sweep a girl off her feet with a romantic dinner that I had whipped up from scratch. That was fine – I could take her to Coq d’Argent instead. … Continue Reading
