Hydrangeas and roses

On a warm but rather soggy and windy morning I delivered this cake to the marquee for Victoria’s wedding. The cake was to be the desert for the wedding breakfast so it was a layered fresh lemon curd lemon sponge with white chocolate buttercream. Delicate sugar hydrangeas and roses formed the main decoration for this ‘naked’ cake. And of course, the sun came out in the afternoon. Congratulations to you both

Double 80th birthday celebrations

Libby and her twin brother Richard, turned 80 this summer so I made this open book cake with a page for each of them featuring their wide range of interests over the years. Libby loves her cat, had a career in teaching and used to dance the night away. Richard was a plumber, a cyclist and a sailor. Inside is a lemon cake filled with fresh lemon curd.

Sweet overload

Rather a last minute request from Oren’s mum for this Victoria sponge layered with jam and buttercream and smothered in Oren’s favourite sweets. It was the centre piece for his 7th birthday party – nothing like providing a major sugar rush for a room full of excited 7 year olds!
