Eleanor is 9 today and her mum has thrown caution to the wind for one day. She asked for this jam and vanilla sponge to be smothered in stripy buttercream and topped with Eleanor’s favourite sweets. Enjoy yourself Eleanor. Happy Birthday.
Trish’s son in law is a collector of designer watches. This is a carrot cake, layered with cream cheese frosting and with a chocolate ganache drip. On top is an edible sugar Rolex watch face, I’ve set the hands to 4.04 (he is 44) and the date to 23rd so I hope it is fitting for his birthday.
Here is a jolly Christmas cake for Linda’s grandchildren. Inside is a gluten free, dairy free sponge filled with jam and ‘butter’cream. Happy Christmas everyone.
I made a first birthday cake for Tobias earlier this year and last weekend he was baptised. Mum asked me for this vanilla buttercream and jam filled madeira cake topped with a jaunty sugar train. Tobias can keep the train as a souvenir as long as no one has eaten it.
Stewart liked the look of the layered drip cakes on the website and Facebook. He asked if I could make one as a surprise for Gillian but he wanted me to add sugar sea shells like the ones on their wedding cake as well as the chocolates and flowers. The delicious white chocolate ganache is dripping down the sides of the vanilla and raspberry layered sponge. Yum
Marilyn is retiring after many years of dedicated service. She is a really keen sea swimmer and her colleagues at the CAB wanted a cake to celebrate her new found freedom. Congratulations Marilyn. Hope you get to put your feet up sometimes
This is a jolly Harry Potter cake (complete with sugar wand) for Stuart’s grand daughter Wren. Underneath is squidgy chocolate fudge layer cake. I don’t think there was much left after the family party. Happy birthday Wren.
Sheila organised a surprise party for her husband Don’s landmark birthday. All a bit cloak and dagger but we managed to keep this layered sponge featuring his beloved G14 dinghy a secret.
Kate came down to Milford this weekend for her friend Tam’s birthday. She contacted me and asked for a cake that not only celebrated the birthday but also Tam’s South African heritage. Hope you had a good weekend girls
