Di organised a big day to celebrate her 80th birthday with family and friends at home. As well as making a small mountain of scones, some lemon drizzle cake and an egg free chocolate cake, Di asked me to ice this lovely rich fruit cake that she had made herself. She has spent a life time involved in golf and came up with the idea of the design of her cake. Translated into sugar with a few additional embellishments, here it is. I hope you had a wonderful day Di.
Paul is enjoying a full and varied life and has had a wealth of experiences over the years, starting off in the tank corps of the army and then going on to excel in all sorts of sports and pastimes. Denise asked if I could make an 80th birthday cake to reflect all of this. So here we have a rather smart black, white and gold creation featuring sugar silhouettes around the sides. Inside are two cakes – one lovely farmhouse fruit cake (Paul’s favourite) and the other a vanilla madeira layered with raspberry jam and buttercream. They are stacked on top of each other and iced as one. The cake survived a journey to Devon and formed the centrepiece for his surprize party with family and friends.
Fearn’s family love owls and this year her birthday party has taken on the owl theme. Fearn’s grandparents always organise her cake and asked me to make this one with a rather solemn looking but endearing sugar owl perched on the top.
Beth’s mum is a keen gardener and fills her garden with beautiful flowers. Here is her birthday cake – a jam and buttercream filled vanilla sponge decorated as a pretty garden with pink roses climbing up the sides. All edible and a treat for the family party
