Bee keepers cake
One of Janine’s work colleagues is leaving to take up a new post. she is a keen bee keeper and i was asked to make a bee-inspired cake. Inside is a big layered lemon sponge with fresh lemon curd filling. On the top are sugar flowers and lots of jolly sugar bees, some of them air-borne, as well as a sprinkle of sparkle. Good luck in your new job Alison.
Mermaid birthday
beth had her 7th birthday a little while ago and her Gran asked me to make this layered chocolate cake with a sparkly sugar mermaid sitting on top. I’m sure you had a lovely birthday Beth
Chloe’s Cupcakes
Chloe spent her birthday with her Gran who ordered half a dozen raspberry and vanilla cupcakes topped with Chloes name in pretty sugar letters.
Thunderbird 2
I made Thunderbird 1 a few weeks ago and now here is Thunderbird 2 for Sam’s 5th birthday. This is a chocolate cake, big enough to share with all Sam’s friends at his party.
Campervan Anniversary
Liz and Richard had an extended golden wedding celebration taking their family and friends away for a weekend in Dorset. They wanted a big cake to keep everyone going for the whole holiday and asked me to make it in the shape of their campervan. (I don’t think they stuffed everyone in it this time). Anyway, this is a huge chocolate cake iced as a rough representation of their vehicle. Vaguely recognisable I think and delicious I hope. Have fun everyone
Cricket cake
Fred is an obsessive supporter of the Southern Braves Cricket team and for his 1oth birthday, his Gran ordered a sticky chocolate cake iced in the team colours. Hope you had a good day Fred
Golden Wedding
To celebrate 50 years of marriage, Liz and Richard held a lovely party at South Lawns Hotel. They chose a lemon layer cake, iced in a design they saw on this website with a big sugar bow and a sugar bouquet of freesias and gypsophila which are the flowers Liz carried on her wedding day.
Thai Orchids
I love making sugar flowers, so when Wendy asked me for a Thai-themed cake for her Thai-themed 60th birthday party, I was delighted to revise my orchid making skills. This was a sponge, filled with fresh lemon curd and topped with a golden 60 as well as a spray of vibrant fuchsia-coloured sugar orchids
Danish birthday cake
Saly had seen a picture on my Facebook page of a cake similar to this one that I had made a few weeks earlier. Her granny is also a scrabble and Rummikub player, but as she is Danish, we needed a national flag as well. Here is Granny’s fresh lemon curd filled 90th birthday cake.
