Penny is a keen golfer and Ian asked me to make a cake with a model of her putting on a green on the top. This is a lemon cake iced in fondant to look a bit like the golf course. Penny is wearing her club colours but I fear it looks as though she is going to miss that putt unless there is a bit of a swing on the green! Happy birthday Penny
Henry loves his Lego and this Ninjago character is the favourite currently. His mum found a picture of a cake that would fit the bill so I made a lemon layer cake and iced it to suit. Happy birthday Henry
Janine organised a surprise party for her husbands 80th birthday. Peters interests are horse-racing, holidays and wine and they like both chocolate and lemon cake. So the eight is a lemon cake filled with lemon curd and decorated with sugar wine bottles and holiday paraphernalia. The zero is chocolate cake iced to look a bit like a race track with sugar railings. Janine popped some little model race horses on it and we had all bases covered. Not so easy hiding a giant cake until it was needed but hey ho..
Lucy contacted me to order a 4th birthday cake for her son Noah. My remit was chocolate sponge cake in the shape of a ‘happy dragon’ but crucially, that it must be wearing a red hat! Here we go, always fun to make something like this. Hope you all had fun
Back at the start of the summer, New Milton Petanque Club had a grand opening of their two new terrains. I was asked to supply a suitably celebratory fudge filled chocolate cake for the occasion. I understand the newly elected mayor dignified the occasion and that it all went well,
Rachel and Patrick are celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary with a family lunch at a local eatery. Their daughter ordered this two tiered cake – the bottom tier is lemon sponge with home made lemon curd and the top is a chocolaty chocolate sponge. Circlets of sugar roses and a bespoke topper to finish it off.
Very many congratulations to you both
Florence’s niece has a big birthday and Florence has been heavily involved in preparing for the white and gold themed party. I was happy to make a big Amaretto cake using a recipe supplied by the family, covered it in home made almond paste and then white icing. Florence found a photograph of the birthday girl which we made into an edible picture and then the family supplied a happy birthday topper and some candles which went on once the cake arrived at the party venue. I understand the cake went down a storm. Good team work!
I’ve made cakes for Theo’s birthday for several years now, he is eight already! This year Pokemon is the theme for this chocolate layer cake. His mum likes me to use organic ingredients as far as possible, which I am more than happy to organise. Happy birthday Theo
Karen’s dad is a lifelong cricket fan, so for his 95th birthday what better than a cricket-themed cake. This is a gluten free lemon sponge iced with totally edible sugar cricketing paraphernalia. Hope you all enjoyed your day
