Freya sent me special instructions for her 6th birthday cake. It needed to be chocolate, with pink icing and a gymnast on the top. She drew me a lovely picture to help. My version is not quite the same, the anti-gravity posture of the gymnast was a bit too much of a challenge, but I really hope that this will do. Happy birthday Freya.
John is a model railway enthusiast extraordinaire! His passion has led to the entire upper floor of his house being converted into a railway, the new layout being revealed as part of his 70th birthday celebrations this weekend.
John and Jenny have 6 grandchildren all of whom wanted a slice of the action, so we made this with each of the chocolate cake goods-trucks bearing the name of one of the children.
Happy birthday John, wishing you many joyful hours in the signal box.
This cake catered for everyone. Wholewheat ginger cake on the bottom and gluten free chocolate on the top. Plenty of candles and sparklers to add a bit of pazazz.
Geraldine wanted a cake for a family dinner to celebrate Kate’s big birthday. Kate has recently taken up gardening so we decorated this red velvet cake accordingly.
Grace is a big ‘Frozen’ fan (aren’t all 4 year old girls?) and needed a cake to celebrate her birthday with all her friends. Under Elsa’s skirt is a chocolate fudge cake.
A particularly bonkers cake to celebrate the ‘big 0’ birthdays of 7 lovely ladies. Each cake was a different flavour under the pink icing. The birthday girls all recognised themselves and kept their sugar mini-me as a souvenir of a big mad party.
Gloria’s grand daughter was off to Australia straight after her 21st birthday party and wanted a cake to celebrate both momentous events.
What a co-incidence. Two 90th birthday cakes for ladies both called Betty inside 3 months! This lovely Betty contacted me as her family were holding a birthday party for her in her garden to celebrate. She wanted a ‘proper’ rich fruit cake with home made marzipan, decorated in her favourite yellow and purple freesias. When I visited her to deliver the cake, she had finished gardening ready for her visitors.
The ladies at Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club held a tea party for Betty’s big day. Traditional fruit cake with delicate pink roses. Rita was kind enough to write: ‘The tea party went well today and we had a lot of compliments on the cake, it was fabulous. Thank you so much for making it’.
This cake was made for the 80th birthday of a lady who threw a big party for all her friends. She has spent much of her life raising money for hospices, she continues to play golf weekly and is a demon bridge player. All these activities were symbolised by the sugar decorations on the cake.
