Design 2

Have looked at what my client wants and come up with another design:

I have also tried it with a white background:

I have seen other websites with drawn images in the background and found them very effective. The header is more like what my client has asked for in that it mimics the shop's poster. I thought the image at the bottom of piping icing is a nice touch and in keeping with the website. I do think that I need to include an image in the content area somewhere. Perhaps under where it describes the new recipe, an image of the new recipe could go there?
