21st birthday cake for a bookworm

image1Elaine wanted a cake that would reflect Her granddaughter’s passions and nothing pink Hannah is a committed Christian, and when she does not have her nose in a book she is out . She is also a top class physics student. So we have made a cake with piles of books, a map and walking boots, a bible and some impenetrable physics formulae piped around the sides. Hope you like it Hannah, happy birthday.

Birthday cake for a model railway enthusiast

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.

Another Betty who turned 90 this summer!

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.
