Double 80th birthday celebrations
Libby and her twin brother Richard, turned 80 this summer so I made this open book cake with a page for each of them featuring their wide range of interests over the years. Libby loves her cat, had a career in teaching and used to dance the night away. Richard was a plumber, a cyclist and a sailor. Inside is a lemon cake filled with fresh lemon curd.
Sweet overload
Rather a last minute request from Oren’s mum for this Victoria sponge layered with jam and buttercream and smothered in Oren’s favourite sweets. It was the centre piece for his 7th birthday party – nothing like providing a major sugar rush for a room full of excited 7 year olds!
Double birthday celebration
Margaret and Alan both have their birthdays just two weeks apart. This year they had one big party to celebrate a bit of a milestone at Rays in Milford. They asked me to make this very personalised two tier cake to share with their friends after the meal. The bottom tier is for Margaret – a fresh lemon curd and buttercream layer cake decorated with flowers and butterflies. The top tier is Alan’s – a carrot cake filled with cream cheese frosting and decorated to reflect his love of playing golf. I know you had a lovely day. Happy birthday to you both.
Two tier chocolate
For Sally’s big birthday she had a fabulous party at the yacht club this weekend. She loves chocolate and bright colours and gave me a list of her favourite chocolate bars and sweets that absolutely had to be on her yellow and pink cake. Inside are lemon sponges layered with fresh lemon curd and buttercream with a decadent dark chocolate ganache drip over coloured buttercream icing. I am so glad your celebration went off well Sally – I hope the cake helped.
Peppa Pig
Ruby is 2! she is going to Peppa Pig World as a birthday treat add so who other than Peppa should go on her cake? This is a traditional raspberry jam and buttercream layered sponge. I love Peppa Pig World. Have a fabulous time!
Lightning McQueen cake
Theo had his 5th birthday party recently. One of his prize possessions if his Lightning McQueen cycle helmet, so his mum sent me a picture and asked me to make an edible version. Underneath the icing is a jam and vanilla layered sponge. Happy birthday Theo
Ducks and Daisies
Nina asked me for an iced jam and buttercream sponge for her mum’s birthday. ‘Anything with ducks and daisies’ she said. Hope this meets the brief Nina and that you all had a lovely day
Barbara’s Golf Buggy
Barbara loves her golf and her friends organised a celebratory lunch at the golf club for her birthday. This is a lemon layered sponge, iced in fondant and topped with an edible sugar golf buggy. Happy birthday Barbara.
Ballroom Dancers
Maureen turned 90 this week and she asked me to make a rich fruit cake to share with her family and friends. When I went to visit her she showed me some wonderful pictures of the glamorous ballroom dancing days. We chose a striking colour scheme of red and black to reflect her love of dance and her favourite roses. Very many congratulations Maureen, Happy Birthday.
