Ann has been playing tennis all her life and her family wanted a special cake for her 90th birthday. Inside this racquet is a jam and vanilla sponge and the balls are made out of gluten free sponge cake. Hopefully this meant that everyone could have a bit.. very many congratulations Ann, I am sure you had a lovely day with your family and friends
I’m going to be away for Angus’s sister’s birthday so her mum asked if I could make a sugar Matilda to go on the top of her home made cake. Here she is. All Rachel has to do now is do a bit of baking.
Angus is 8 today and is having his party this afternoon. This is a chocolate fudge Minecraft TNT cake complete with a sugar Minecraft Axolotl …. 
. Anyway, I trust this is what you meant Angus and happy birthday!
Another diamond wedding anniversary with sugar flowers to match the bridal bouquet of 60 years ago. This time the flowers are lovely purple anemones which I loved making. Inside is a fresh lemon and buttercream layer cake. The cake was a surprise to Margaret and Mike from their family. I think we managed to keep the secret. Congratulations
Jan and Julian have been married for 60 years. They have been on a lovely cruise with their family and are now having a party for their friends. Jan carried beautiful orange and yellow roses on her wedding day so here they are again, 60 years on as part of her cake. Inside is a rich fruit cake covered in home made almond paste. Delicious
Grace is a fan of the Avatar films and asked me to make a cake for her 11th birthday. This is a chocolate fudge layer cake covered in midnight blue fondant and decorated to look a bit like the forests in the film. Her mum got hold of an avatar cut out and I made a sugar planet to back it up. I think the result was quite effective
Ted’s birthday always falls in the summer holidays and Trish asked me to make him a special cake for his 9th birthday. Underneath the Man U colours is a chocolate sponge filled with sticky chocolate ganache. I understand that the family made short work of it. Happy birthday Ted.
Back in the day, Tara’s godmother was a well known florist in Covent Garden. For her 80th birthday celebrations, Tara asked me to make Isabel a fruit cake (with homemade almond paste) depicting the shop. Tara found an old black and white photo of the property which I did my best to copy. Tara also needed me to feature a pig in the design … a long standing family joke. So here it is. I hope your godmother recognises it Tara and that you all have a lovely day.
Little Robyn is 3 and her Gran asked me to make this victoria sponge layer cake covered in sea creatures for their family celebration.
Jack and Jess decided on a cup cake wedding cake with a small sponge topper cake for the stand. Jess made the cupcakes but asked me to pipe the buttercream as cream flowers, and also to make the top tier with some big white sugar roses and daisies on the top. Jess added her own little flowers to the cup cakes and I think the finished result looked lovely. A great joint effort and congratulations to you both.
