Cupcakes and roses
Jack and Jess decided on a cup cake wedding cake with a small sponge topper cake for the stand. Jess made the cupcakes but asked me to pipe the buttercream as cream flowers, and also to make the top tier with some big white sugar roses and daisies on the top. Jess added her own little flowers to the cup cakes and I think the finished result looked lovely. A great joint effort and congratulations to you both.
Hydrangeas and roses
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
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!
Golden wedding

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
