An early start in the Caption Catering kitchen this morning… 🌅

These needed to be freshly made, packed and ready for 8.30am collection for one of my regular corporate customers.

Today’s lunch was for just four people — because corporate catering certainly doesn’t have to mean feeding a huge office!

On the menu today…

🌿 Mediterranean chicken
🌿 Herby orzo
🌿 Roasted peppers & courgettes
🌿 Cucumber & cherry tomatoes
🌿 Crumbled feta
🌿 Fresh mixed leaves
🌿 Toasted mixed seeds for that extra crunch
🌿 Creamy herb dressing

And for something sweet… homemade raspberry & white chocolate blondies, served with plenty of gorgeous fresh berries and grapes. 🍓

Colourful, fresh, filling and SO much more exciting than a supermarket sandwich at your desk! 😂

This is exactly the kind of corporate catering I love to create — whether I’m making lunch for 4 people or 40, the same care and attention goes into every order.

And that’s really what Caption Catering is all about…

No mass-produced food. No shortcuts. Just fresh, real, homemade food, made from scratch using quality ingredients and produce from brilliant local suppliers wherever I can. ❤️

Good food doesn’t need to be overcomplicated. It just needs great ingredients, proper flavour and someone who genuinely cares about what they’re putting on your plate.

Fresh. Homemade. Real food. Always.

If you’d like something a little different for your next team lunch, meeting or training day, just pop me a message. 🖤

A little birthday treat… Caption Catering style 🎂✨

A gorgeous grazing box headed out today, packed full of all the good stuff ❤️

Cheeses, charcuterie, homemade savouries, fresh fruit, crackers, chutney and lots of those little extra touches that make it feel really special — right down to the edible flowers 🌸

Because sometimes the best birthday present is one you can eat! 😍

These make such a lovely alternative to a traditional gift, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, thank you or simply a “thinking of you” treat.

Everything freshly prepared and beautifully presented, as always.

Would you rather receive flowers 💐 or a box full of food like this? 👀

🌸 THE NEXT FLORAL CUPCAKE CLASS DATES ARE HERE! 🌸

You’ve been asking me when the next dates are coming… so here they are! And this time we’re going all the way through to CHRISTMAS! 🎄🧁

I absolutely LOVE teaching these classes. They’re relaxed, friendly, usually involve plenty of laughing, and you absolutely do not need to be good at piping before you come. That’s what I’m there for!

🌸 BEGINNERS — £80 per person
Perfect if you’ve never picked up a piping bag before, or you’ve tried and wondered why your rose looks more like a cabbage. 😂

🌺 INTERMEDIATE — £80 per person
For those who’ve completed Beginners or already have some piping experience and want to tackle more detailed flowers and techniques.

🎄 CHRISTMAS FLORALS — £80 per person
I’ve been waiting for these!! Beautiful festive buttercream flowers, rich Christmas colours, a little sparkle and some gorgeous designs to take home. ✨

All classes are £80 per person and last 3 hours. Everything you need is provided — just turn up and enjoy yourself!

We’ve now got dates at Weston-under-Penyard Village Hall, Lea Village Hall, The Garron Centre in Llangarron and Harts Barn. All the dates and times are on the image 👆

I demonstrate each flower step-by-step, you get plenty of help along the way and, most importantly, you leave with a box of beautiful cupcakes YOU have created. ❤️

Classes are deliberately kept small because I want to be able to come around, watch what you’re doing and actually help you — rather than just demonstrate from the front of a huge room.

And if you’ve been looking at my cupcakes thinking “there is absolutely NO WAY I could do that”…

Come and let me prove you wrong. 😉🌸

£80 per person • 3-hour class • all equipment provided • take your cupcakes home

Places are limited, so pop CLASS below or send me a private message with the date/venue you’d like — and as always, it’ll be me who replies.

TODAY’S CORPORATE LUNCH 🥭🌿

Now THIS is how you brighten up a Tuesday lunchtime… ❤️

Today’s corporate lunch was a gorgeous, colourful Asian-inspired bowl packed with fresh flavours and textures.

Sticky Korean-style chicken or golden grilled halloumi, with noodles, seasoned couscous, edamame, mango, crunchy red cabbage, carrot and fresh leaves, all finished with that creamy sweet chilli dressing. 😍

And for something sweet…

🥥🍋‍🟩 Homemade coconut & lime drizzle loaf, with a beautiful fresh fruit platter piled with strawberries, pineapple, melon, grapes, blueberries and pomegranate.

Freshly prepared, colourful, generous and most importantly — proper food people actually look forward to eating.

Corporate lunches really don’t have to mean a tray of sandwiches and a packet of crisps!

If you regularly order lunch for your team, meetings or clients and fancy something a little different, message me LUNCH and I’ll send over some ideas.

🎄 THEY’RE BACK… MY CHRISTMAS PIES! 🎄

If you’ve ordered one before, you’ll already know why these have become one of my Christmas favourites. ❤️

Proper, homemade Christmas pies — packed full of luxury sausagemeat, tender chicken breast, cranberries, apricots and chestnuts, with thyme and a little lemon, all wrapped up in golden buttery shortcrust pastry.

No scrimping on the filling either… just look at that slice! 😍

They’re brilliant for a festive cold lunch, Boxing Day, family gatherings or simply having tucked away in the fridge when you really don’t fancy cooking again.

🥧 7/8” Christmas Pie — £42
🥧 10” Christmas Pie — £48

Everything is handmade by me, from my kitchen in Weston-under-Penyard, and Christmas week numbers will be limited.

Final collection: Wednesday 23rd December.

If you’d like one putting aside, please send me a private message with CHRISTMAS PIE and the size you’d like.

💍 WEDDING CAKES… which one are YOU choosing? 💍

One of my favourite things about wedding cakes is that there really are no rules anymore.

Elegant and understated…
Covered in buttercream flowers…
Fresh flowers and beautiful textures…
Bright, colourful and completely joyful…
A huge statement cake…
Or something completely different. ❤️

I’ve made some VERY different wedding cakes over the years — including my own! 👀

So first question…

Can you guess which wedding cake was mine and Jeremy’s? 😂❤️

And then I want to know…

Which one would YOU choose?

Have a look through the photos and pop your favourite number in the comments. 👇

If you’re already married, I’d LOVE to see your wedding cake too — add a photo to the comments and show me what you had. I love seeing how styles have changed over the years!

When I make a wedding cake, I don’t want it to simply look beautiful. I want it to feel like you — your colours, your flowers, your style and, most importantly, flavours you’re actually excited to eat.

I only take on a handful of weddings each year, which means I can give every couple and every cake the time and attention they deserve. ❤️

So, come on then…

Can you spot mine? And which one gets YOUR vote? 👇👇👇

💍 2027 & 2028 wedding enquiries are now welcome.

🌼 HELLO 30! 🌼

How pretty is this one? 🤍

Soft sage green buttercream, delicate hand-piped daisies and a little touch of gold for a very special 30th birthday.

I love the simplicity of this design — pretty, elegant, floral and just that little bit different. And, of course, every one of those little flowers was piped by hand. 🌼

Happy 30th Birthday! 🥂✨

Made from scratch, decorated with love and another celebration cake leaving the Caption Catering kitchen. ❤️

For the love of food.

I MADE A MISTAKE… I LOOKED AT THE AUTUMN SHOW SUNDAY’S LINE-UP. 😳😂

And now I’m absolutely terrified.

There I was, quite happily trying not to think too much about the fact that in a couple of weeks I’m doing a 45-minute LIVE buttercream floral demonstration at the Great Malvern Autumn Show…

Then I looked at who else is appearing on the Cake Off Stage. 🤦‍♀️

David Atherton — winner of The Great British Bake Off.
Lottie Bedlow — Bake Off favourite.
Professional bakers, food creators, people with HUGE social media followings & tons of experience at public speaking and presenting ...

And then…

Karen Allen – Caption Catering. 😂😂😂

Little old me from Ross-on-Wye, working from my home kitchen, usually with buttercream in my hair, answering messages from the sofa at night and having NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE.

WHAT AM I DOING THERE?! 😳😂

But then I had a little word with myself.

I may not have been on Bake Off.
I may not have thousands and thousands of followers.
And there’s a very good chance nobody in the audience will have a clue who I am…

But I DO know what I’m doing with a piping bag. 🌸

I’ve spent years developing my buttercream flowers. I teach people how to pipe them. I create wedding cakes and cupcake bouquets with them. And I’ve built Caption Catering from absolutely nothing into a little business that I’m incredibly proud of.

So perhaps that’s exactly why I’m there. ❤️

Am I still terrified?

ABSOLUTELY. 😂

Will my hands & voice probably shake for the first five minutes?

Almost certainly.

But am I going to get up there, pick up my piping bag and give it everything I’ve got?

I absolutely am. ❤️

So if you’re at the Great Malvern Autumn Show on Sunday 27th September, please come and find me at the Great Malvern Cake Off Stage at 11am.

And if you see a slightly terrified woman clutching a piping bag backstage beforehand…

That’ll be me. 😂🌸

✨ 5 things you might not know about Caption Catering…

I’ve had lots of new followers recently, so I thought it was time for a little introduction — but rather than tell you all the usual stuff, here are a few things you might not know about me and my little business… ❤️

1️⃣ It’s mostly just me!
From answering your messages and planning menus to shopping, baking, cooking, piping, packing and styling your tables — 95% of the time, it’s me behind the scenes. I do have my lovely little team who come out with me for bigger events… and I honestly couldn’t do those without them.

2️⃣ A lot of my food is completely unique to Caption Catering.
I LOVE creating recipes and coming up with something a little different. Dehydrated pear crisps with Stilton mousse, my little Ploughman’s Yorkshires, Stilton shortbreads with apple whip, blackcurrant mascarpone roses… I want people to see a table and think “Ooh, what’s THAT?” 😍

3️⃣ I deliberately only take on a handful of weddings each year.
I don’t want to become a wedding factory! 😂
I want to know my couples, get excited about their plans and give each wedding the time and attention it deserves. It also means I can continue doing all the other parts of Caption Catering that I love.

4️⃣ Those flowers on the cupcakes? I pipe every single one. 🌸
No moulds, no bought-in decorations — just buttercream, piping nozzles and rather a lot of patience! My cupcake bouquets have actually become one of the things Caption Catering is best known for.

5️⃣ The food you see on my page is MY FOOD. ❤️
No stock images. No AI-generated food pretending to be mine. If you see a cake, canapé, buffet or afternoon tea on this page, it came out of my kitchen and I’m incredibly proud of that.

Six years into Caption Catering and I still get ridiculously excited when someone books me because they’ve seen something I’ve created and thought…

“I want THAT at my party.” 🥰

And I hope I never lose that.

Today’s corporate lunch 🥗🍌

There’s something rather lovely about a regular corporate client getting in touch and asking for their favourite lunch again. ❤️

Today it was my fresh salmon & prawn salad bowls — loaded with avocado, tomatoes, greens, fresh herbs and all the lovely little extras, with a creamy dressing on the side.

And to go with them…

A huge colourful fresh fruit platter with freshly baked banana bread — still warm from the oven when it left my kitchen. 🍓🍍🫐🍌

Everything made and prepared fresh this morning, just as it should be.

I love looking after my regular corporate customers, and when they specifically ask for something they’ve had before, I think that says more than I ever could.

Because a working lunch certainly doesn’t have to mean sandwiches and crisps. 😉

Fresh. Colourful. Generous. Homemade.
For the love of food. ❤️
