"We tried Liz' carrot cake last week for the first time, the intention was to have it as the 'adult' cake at my Son Georges 4th birthday party, obviously I had to try it first & once the first bite passed my lips I knew that cake wasn't going ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!! It was DIVINE!!!!!! Seriously it was one of the best I have had, & as carrot cake is my favorite believe me I have had many!!
The one we got was quite a large cake so it lasted well for a few days in the fridge, but I am sure she could do smaller ones if required. All in all Liz' cake was FANTASTIC & I am looking forward to trying more of her range" (EJ)

Comments:
"Our 9 year-old son started going to Dr. Jill Jenkins a year ago. Prior to that our entire family were facing major daily challenges, pressure and stress given his hyper activity. After starting therapy with Dr. Jill we immediately started to see huge positive differences and in the past year our lives have literally been transformed! Everyone our son is in contact with (from siblings to friends, teachers and extended family) have been amazed by the incredible changes he has gone through. Jill has been central to all of this progress; she is an absolutely star! Her ability to get through to children, make them comfortable and to put us at ease is hard to describe, she is just a sea of calmness. Visiting her is one of the highlights of our son's week. We can never thank her enough for what she has done for him, us and our family" (MMC)

Comments:
"We were thrilled with the photos of our family taken by Paula.  It rained on the day of our session so I was sure that we would not get any good photos since we had planned to be outdoors. But, because of Paula's ability to improvise and her keen eye for light and backdrops, the photographs came out beautifully.  We were amazed!"

Comments:
Great fun at birthday parties. A selection of bouncy castles, including large slides and castles. Negates the need for Mum and Dad to run around entertaining 15 little ones! Children will entertain themselves for hours on these novelty bouncy castles and tire themselves out in the process. Barcelona Bounce deliver, set up and remove the bouncy castles all in one day. They do charge delivery if over 25km from them (Vilasar de Dalt, Maresme)
