Fruitful Blooms Bring Fantasy Chocolate to Life at Thame Food Festival

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience what the children in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory did? Flowers, plants and foliage that you can eat?

Well wonder no more, as Fruitful Blooms founder Anita Thakker will demonstrate at Oxfordshires award winning ‘ Thame Food Festival ’ on September 28th. This really is the stuff from her ‘pure imagination’ as she shows visitors the intricacies of the detailed work that goes into each and every Fruitful Blooms creation.

OK so lickable wallpaper won’t be on the menu but edible flowers, leaves and even vases and sculptures are Fruitful Blooms speciality. On the day visitors will be able to watch Anita create a chocolate sculpture and some of their floral pieces will also be on display. For those keen to experience the true delicate and exquisite taste of Fruitful Blooms chocolate, there will be a selection of their brand new chocolate infusions .

Visitors will be treated to a garland of dark chocolate with ginger and white chocolate infused with rose petals and edible glitter, to name but a few, and some which are still under wraps!

Anita spent many years travelling and living in Belgium and Paris and her passion and love for chocolate blossomed. With a background in graphic design, Anita saw an opportunity to create showpieces fusing innovation with elegance. Combining quality chocolate of different flavours and fresh fruits made perfect sense to her and Fruitful Blooms was formed.

Anita and her team hand craft and design spectacular bespoke edible bouquets, arrangements and centre pieces. They use only the finest personally selected fresh fruits and luxury Belgian chocolate.

As a team of experienced chocolatiers, they love what they do and have a passion for creating inspirational avant-garde pieces. These truly stunning and sumptuous luxurious creations are perfect for any occasion from a single personal bouquet or luxury gift, through to high-end corporate events.

Fruitful Blooms portfolio of work includes celebratory events, product launches, parties, and conferences for a cross section of clients such as Jimmy Choo, Albert Hughes, Heather Graham, Allied Irish Bank, Ritz London, Danesfield House and many more.

What Is Digital PR And Is It Different To Traditional PR?

March 9, 2026
Public relations (PR) is not a new invention. In fact, the precursor to modern PR can trace its origins back centuries to the early days of mass media in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Of course, the world has changed considerably since then and the arrival of the internet forced the PR profession, along with many others, to evolve once again. This is when digital PR entered the frame. What is digital PR?  As its name suggests, digital PR specifically focuses on reaching your customers in their online worlds. It’s not the same as digital marketing, but digital PR activities should tie in closely with your broader marketing strategy. Digital PR is all about starting conversations with your audience and making sure they see and hear from you in an increasingly noisy online environment. That means it needs to be carefully targeted to ensure it not only reaches the right people but that it also delivers the right message. In this way, it is not dissimilar to traditional PR, which involves placing clients in relevant print publications or broadcast shows to widen their reach. However, in the digital world, life works slightly differently. This means targeted campaigns are particularly important and the messaging you use needs to be adapted for different channels.

The Hippo, the Oxpecker, and the Truth About PR and Journalism

By Hannah Woodhead • September 5, 2025
In sub-Saharan Africa, an interesting relationship takes place hippos and oxpecker birds (honestly, bear with me on this one). The hippo needs help with the ticks and parasites that live on its skin and the oxpeckers help out by picking off the parasites and eating them. The oxpeckers get what they want – a tasty meal. And the hippo gets cleaner, healthier skin. It’s a win-win situation. It's impossible to say whether either species values the other—but each undoubtedly plays a vital role in the other's wellbeing. This example of mutualism often comes to mind when people talk about the relationship between journalists and PRs. It’s a case of mutuality, without question, but there’s often a simmering animosity between the two. To generate truly effective PR you need to understand the needs of both sides. And that’s where Flourish excels.
