I love getting in the kitchen - baking, making and creating. I also love having people over - wining and dining (although less of the earlier of late). What I do not love is the clean up afterwards! You know.. struggling to get the tea towel to the bottom of that champagne flute and get those last few drops?

Creating Smiles With Allen’s
