Christmas Jumper Day! 13.12.13

We got into the festive spirit here at Bryce Mennell last Friday by wearing our Christmas attire to work in aid to help raise money for Save the Children!

We managed to get £40 from everyone in the office block which is brilliant thank you for all your support and help! 

Sadly though the Bryce Mennell team along with one lady from Stephenson's Lettings and the two guys from Innovation Architecture were the only ones to actually wear Christmas Jumpers! 

Here are a few flics from the day!

MacMillan Coffee Morning!

The McMillan Building decided to host a MacMillan Coffee Morning last Friday as part of the World's Biggest Coffee Morning!

We got busy baking lots of goodies to sell and we made a brilliant £123 (Which is fab considering we're only a small building!) for MacMillan Cancer Support!

Here at Bryce Mennell we love to help (especially if it involves cake!) and show our support!

We're already looking forward to next years Coffee Morning!

Good Luck Ian!

Ian Clark and five of his colleagues from Eastgate Shopping Centre are cycling 320 miles from London to Paris to raise money for St Luke's Hospice in Basildon.

They're starting the journey today and it will take four days to complete!

They've almost reached their target of £10,000 thanks to supporters including the BryceMennell team!

We are always proud to support good causes!

GOOD LUCK TEAM EASTGATE!!

Meet Stevie the St Bernard...

Say hello to Stevie the new St Stephen's mascot!

As good as he looks on screen, here at Bryce Mennell we get to design more than just 2D artwork...

Woof Woof!

Autumn is here...

...So now it's time to wrap up warm and keep cosy!

We have just finished a new refreshing style for Middleton Grange's Autumn campaign.

Roll up to the Eastgate Festival!

Can you ride the waves? Are you ready to meet a dinosaur? Want to take a trip to Wonderland?

This Summer, Eastgate are having a festival! With magicians, surfers, dinosaurs and more, it's family fun at it's best!

Birthday week!

So this week was all about Dan and Danica's Birthday - I wont reveal their ages ;)

This meant I decided to decorate the office  - obviously with lots of balloons and a big Birthday banner!

Of course you can't do birthday's by half, well except for the cake. Being the master baker I am I thought I'd be adventurous and bake one for them to share.

After seeing an amazing rainbow cake on a wonderful blog about baking I thought I would attempt to recreate my own version! 

It turned out pretty dam good if I do say so myself! I started with a simple victoria sponge mix (8oz) and added pink, blue and purple gel food colouring blobbing the mixture around the pan to get a sort of marbled effect! 

After this was done, I decided to bake another 8oz vic sponge cake so it would be double in size once iced! (I know how much the Bryce Mennell lot like cake so the bigger the better!)

Sadly though when baking the second cake I had ran out of gel food colouring and had to use normal, so as i found out once the cake was cut the normal food colouring didn't take to the sponge mix very well :(! 

Anyway all in all the cake tasted delish! I iced it with pink and blue buttercream - using 10oz of icing sugar!!! And the cake in total had 6 eggs in and about a million oz's of butter! But hey it tasted good!

So it looks like from now on I'll be official Birthday cake maker and office decorator!

Next up is Christmas - watch this space! Santa's Grotto will be coming to the BM Office!! Ho Ho Ho!
