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..
Fearn was 7 this weekend and was off to celebrate with a climbing party. Her grandparents have asked me to make her cake every year for a while now so here is Fearn climbing up two tiers of strawberry and buttercream filled sponge cake. Hope you had a great party
Martin has a vintage American Jeep which is his pride and joy. Moira asked if I could (sort of) recreate it in jammy victoria sponge cake for his 70th birthday. The essential distinguishing detail was the American flag on the bonnet which I think at least made it vaguely recognisable! Happy Birthday Martin
Anne was so excited to have won her first sailing trophy that she asked me to make her a celebratory cake. She invited her fellow sailors round for a soiree in her garden and finished off with this lemon sponge cake decorated with her dinghy. Well done Anne.
Pam had a few days away with her old friends to celebrate her big birthday. Ann surprised her with this lemon layer cake carved into a golf hole. I gather you all had a fabulous time.. I suspect the noise level was pretty high at dinner that night!
Ian and his twin brother celebrated their 70th birthday together this weekend. Ian has spent a lifetime playing golf so his chocolate seven was decorated as a golf hole (big dogleg right!). His brother on the other hand is a railway enthusiast and builds model trains so his gluten free lemon cake zero has a track with a sugar steam locomotive on it. I hope you enjoyed your weekend chaps.
Rosemary and Derek wanted a memorable cake for their son’s 60th birthday. They chose a Victoria sandwich cake in the shape of classic sports car. We added personalised number plates and some silver lustre to make it sparkle. I hope it went down well Rosemary, it was great fun to make.
Mary has made a lovely fruit cake for her friend’s birthday but asked my if I would ice it with a golfing theme. The cake looked and smelled delicious when I opened it up Mary, hope it is a success.
Theo was having a very exciting 6th birthday including the installation of a climbing wall in his bedroom. His Mum asked me to make this vanilla jam and buttercream sponge in the shape of a climbing wall, complete with Theo clambering up it for his party. How wonderful. Climb carefully Theo.
Maggie and Rick’s son J works hard and plays hard. He enjoys the shoot so Maggie asked for something that reflected this for his 50th birthday lunch with the family. Turns out he went off shooting after the lunch which was extremely fitting. This is icing camouflage and then hand-cut sugar silhouettes with a couple of sugar feathers to finish it off. Inside is a classic jam and buttercream vanilla sponge cake.
