Richard is 80 this weekend. He is a keen gardener and his wife Liz asked me to make this surprise vegetable patch cake for their weekend away with the family. Inside is a vanilla sponge layered with jam and buttercream. On top are sugar vegetables (yes even sprouts) set in chocolate soil with a pair of wellies, a spade and a jolly robin on the top. I hope you all have a lovely time.
Iris is 9 and chose a picture of a stripy pink cake for me to copy for her birthday. This is pink sponge layered with white buttercream and decorated in striped buttercream. On top are some delicious macarons (courtesy of the sugar glaze bakery) and a handful of strawberries, Yum. I hope it was pink and stripy enough Iris!
On a warm but rather soggy and windy morning I delivered this cake to the marquee for Victoria’s wedding. The cake was to be the desert for the wedding breakfast so it was a layered fresh lemon curd lemon sponge with white chocolate buttercream. Delicate sugar hydrangeas and roses formed the main decoration for this ‘naked’ cake. And of course, the sun came out in the afternoon. Congratulations to you both
The Milford Art Group are celebrating their 50th anniversary today at South Lawn Hotel. They asked my to make a big cake to use at their lunch party and provided me with a design. Underneath the sugar models is a vanilla cake layered with jam and buttercream.
Congratulations to you all, looking forward to your Summer exhibition.
Sally needed a cake to celebrate Easter with her family. This is a lemon sponge, filled with fresh lemon curd, with suitably seasonal sugar-paste decorations.
Happy Easter Everybody
Grace’s grandparents commissioned her baptism cake from me. Her parents provided a picture of exactly what they wanted and sourced the accessories for me. Underneath the Italian meringue buttercream icing is a 7 layer vanilla sponge filled with jam and buttercream. This photo was taken by the family, proving thank goodness, that it survived its 100 mile journey. Congratulations to everyone, especially little Grace.
