A double celebration lunch today. Cheryl and Lin both had birthdays this week but way more exciting than that, they are soon going to have two new adorable kittens living with them. In anticipation, here is the lemon layer cake in rather stylised cat form which they have plunged a knife into and recklessly consumed this afternoon. Happy birthday and congratulations on your imminent new family members.
Annie contacted me through FB messenger to ask if I could make a cake for her daughter’s first birthday. She sent me some pictures from the internet of the sort of thing that she liked and after a chat on the phone we came to a decision. Inside this pretty cake is a Victoria sponge layered with jam and buttercream. The cake is covered with more buttercream and decorated with handmade models. Happy first birthday Rosie.
This is a pretty cake. The design was sent to me by Jenny and we recreated it for Ella’s birthday party. This three layered chocolate cake is covered in yellow buttercream and rainbow of butterflies. Hope you had a lovely day Ella
I made some flowers for Sue’s wedding cake a couple of years ago, she rang me again to ask for a cake for her grandsons birthday. Just a simple vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream filling inside this number one
Casey contacted me again for Orans birthday cake. A vanilla sponge filled with jam and piped in buttercream. Plenty of cake here to feed a football team
Noah loves the Julia Donaldson book ‘Tiddler’ and Lucy asked me to make his third birthday cake featuring the characters from the story. Inside is a jam and buttercream layered sponge and all around are Tiddler and his fishy companions. I have three grandchildren under four, all of them discerning Donaldson fans and I was relieved when all of them instantly recognised the theme of the cake from this photo.. phew!
Happy Birthday Noah
Theo is 7 and was having an archery themed party this year. His mum asked for a chocolate layer cake with an archery target on the top with as many organic ingredients as possible. A nice easy one.. once we had made the arrows..
Francesca has been dreaming of a totally chocolate cake for her 18th birthday. It has become something of a family joke that when the time came it would be chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. So here we are, a chocolate sponge, covered in chocolate buttercream and crumbled flake, piled high with chocolate sweets. Even the board is covered in chocolate buttons. I really hope that this scratched the itch Francesca, Happy birthday.
Casey contacted me about a Simba cake for Nolan’s 6th birthday party. The children don’t like fondant icing much so we needed to find a way to make a passable Disney lion without the need to use too much. This is a jam and buttercream layered sponge cake covered in buttercream with just edible modelling paste used for ears and face. job done!
Hugh is 4 this weekend. His grandparents showed me a picture of a cake with a dinosaur bursting out of the top and asked if I could make something similar. This great big dinosaur has a centre of marshmallow and Rice Krispie cake and is covered in sugar paste. Inside the whole cake is a layered Victoria sponge. Hope you had a lovely family party Hugh. Happy birthday.
