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.

90th Birthday Cake

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’.

Margie 80
Three-tier sponge cake: one chocolate, one lemon, one vanilla, with piped birthday greeting, Decorated with handmade sugar golf balls, golf tees, playing cards, and sunflowers. Topped with star-shaped candles and edible golden star shower.

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.
