Raffy’s 11th birthday rather crept up on his mum so I had a somewhat last minute request for an emergency cake. This triple layered vanilla sponge is sandwiched with jam and buttercream and iced to reflect Raffy’s love of sailing and his beloved RS Tera dinghy. Add a 3D wavy sea, some gulls and a bit of sugar rope, Suitably nautical . Happy birthday Raffy.

Yin Yang cake for Teenage Twins
Olivia and Grace are 13. They are identical twins and their mum asked me to make a special cake to mark their transition into teenagers. So here is a red velvet layer cake, sandwiched with cream cheese frosting and iced as the Yin Yang symbol. Two separate white and silver cakes in one. Happy Birthday girls.
Garden Pets Cake
Margot is six today. Her mum messaged me four days ago, somewhat last minute, and asked if I could make a cake for her. Luckily I had time so here we have this jolly cake featuring beloved family pets Stanley and Olive sitting in the garden. Margot was quite determined that she wanted a Red Velvet cake (even though she has never tasted one before) so that is what is underneath the icing, sandwiched together with delicious cream cheese frosting. I really hope it lives up to your expectations Margot. Happy Birthday.
PJ Masks Birthday Cake
There was little question about the theme for Ted’s 5th birthday cake. PJ Masks is his favourite TV programme so here we have a cake complete with Catboy, Owlette, Gekko and a sugar night time skyscape, ready for his big day. Underneath are 4 layers of yummy chocolate sponge, sandwiched with chocolate buttercream. Have a lovely day everyone.
Roblox Adopt Me cake
Eleanor is 8 and although her birthday has fallen in lockdown, her parents wanted to surprise her with a special cake. Roblox ‘Adopt Me’ is the game of the moment so here we are. This is a four layer vanilla and jam filled sponge adorned with some favourite sugar ‘pets’. Happy Birthday Eleanor, have a lovely day.
First birthday cake
Little Ralph I saw one today. He has an allergy to eggs so we made this three layer egg free vanilla sponge, filled it with jam and buttercream and covered it in vegan friendly fondant. Add a bunting topper and hey presto. Due to lockdown he is having a very small celebration, but at least he has a showy cake for his photos. Hope Ralph enjoys his first birthday and the cake goes down well.
TikTok cake
Christina is a big TikTok fan. For her 10th birthday she could only have a very small party, so this was a little rainbow sponge with 5 multicoloured layers inside. Bright pink buttercream covered in sugar hearts and musical notes. Hope you had fun Christina
Rainbow Showstopper
This was an unusual Christening cake with rainbows inside and out. Multicolour vanilla sponge layers with buttercream filling covered in fondant and topped with a sugar rainbow and rainbow flowers and little butterflies.
Jess sent me the picture of the cut cake with this very kind message: “Wow what a beautiful cake!! It was amazing in looks and taste. Well our picnic was eventful in the rain but thankfully we had the cake and Prosecco to make it all better!”
Teenage bedroom cake
Sam is 18 today. While he was out on the golf course with his dad this morning, I delivered this chocolate fudge filled chocolate cake. I decorated it to look like his own bed and put him inside wearing his beloved cap and his golf club shirt. The teenage essentials of pizza, phone, headphones and games console as well as golf balls, discarded clothes and his yachting magazine were liberally sprinkled around him. Happy birthday Sam.
Dinosaur cake
Barney is 12 this year and still loves chocolate and dinosaurs. Chocolate fudge filled chocolate cake with chocolate ganache icing should be sufficient to satisfy the former and I’m hoping this sugar spinosaurus is good enough for an expert. Happy birthday Barney.
