Floral 80th birthday

Rosie found a picture of a cake just like this on the internet and asked me if I could make one just like it for her mum. The cake is a 10″ lemon layer cake, more than enough for about 20 people and we have done the flowers in Mum’s favourite pinks and lilacs. Hope your family party goes well everyone.. Happy Birthday!

Louis and Arthur are ten. They are best friends and always have a joint party. This year they and their pals went go-karting to celebrate.

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.
