Hello Everyone,

I recently visited Sandbach Makers Market looking for inspiration for my Food Photography work - and I was spoiled for choice with all the fantastic stalls!

The Makers Market visits my hometown of Sandbach on the second Saturday of each month and brings with it a wide variety of stalls - featuring tasty treats as well as handmade crafts and gifts - and even musicians!

It’s a fantastic monthly event that always seems to draw a crowd and seems to help to bring extra business into our little town!

When I was there I decided to buy some very tasty and attractive cupcakes - see previous blog post - though there was almost too much to choose from!

I really enjoy wandering around the Makers Market and supporting the visiting businesses. There were however a few stalls in particular which caught my eye!

This stall called Sugarcake had a fantastic variety of sweet-treats!

And I just had to try the delicious Chicken Kebabs which were on sale at this stall called Vanillis!

Pie Love make a fantastic range of pies and is based not far from where I live - I also love their slogan “Live the Pie Life”!

Black Star Ceramics make these lovely colourful ceramics and are all hand made in Crewe.

Moose & Bear Designs make these fabulously detailed laser cut designs. I’m definitely going to be making a purchase from this creative company next time I visit the Makers Market!

I was really interested in the Bounceback Food stall. I got chatting with the man on the stall who explained the concept behind it. For every item brought on the stall, the same item would be donated to a local food bank! He also explained that they hope to roll out their own brand of products into supermarkets across the UK with the same concept! I thought it was a really innovative idea and a great way to support local food banks! For further information click here.

These glorious cakes we’re part of the CUPCAKE stall where I brought the fantastic cupcakes in my previous post. How could I not buy cakes from this stall - they all look so incredible!

It was great to see all of the unique items on offer at the Makers Market - It’s such a wonderful event to have in the town each month!

I will definitely be visiting again soon! :D
