Sue and her sister have organised a party for Joan’s splendid milestone birthday. They chose a vanilla cake with jam and buttercream filling iced with deep pink sugar roses and purple violets. We piped the message nice and big so that Joan can see it and I think it has come out well. Hope the party is a success girls and very many congratulations Joan.
Hannah’s big birthday is today. Her mum asked for a big chocolatey chocolate cake which reflected the loves in Hannah’s life. Her husband, her two little girls and of course Murphy the dog. My detail was to include all the family names, Murphy and his paraphernalia, Hannah’s walking boots, two pairs of little pink shoes and a big pair of men’s shoes and then maybe wine, sunshine, flowers etc etc…. Well, there is a limit to be what can be fixed onto a sticky chocolate cake on a hot day but I hope this is what you wanted Sue. Happy birthday Hannah
Anne and Jack are travelling to the Lake District to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with their family. Anne carried a bouquet of yellow roses on her wedding day (as did I actually) so this fresh lemon curd filled lemon cake has a sugar version of the same. Congratulations both of you, have a wonderful time with your family
Annie has a birthday this week. Maggie wanted to give her a birthday cake for a little get together of their bridge playing, party loving friends. Maggie suggested an iced vanilla sponge with this design and here we are. Cheers girls
Denise’s friend Kim had a milestone birthday coming up. She has a new pink and blue beach hut which is her pride and joy. Denise is an expert cake baker but asked me if I would make a sugar beach hut to put on the top of her creation. Here we go, a completely edible beach hut complete with inevitable seagull!
It is Sue’s 70th birthday and her friends wanted a cake to celebrate her life as a dancer and love of Motown music. So I decorated this chocolate cake as a vintage record player complete with sugar LP and dancer silhouette. Everything edible except for the board, ribbon and one wire running through the stylus arm. One of the party girls is gluten intolerant so I made the turn table under the record from a big round gluten free chocolate brownie.
Afterwards, Judy wrote me a lovely email
A pretty pink cake for Stuart to take up to his daughter today. Simple vanilla buttercream sponge iced with flowers and little sparkly butterflies
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.
Val is self isolating at the moment. She asked me to make and deliver half a dozen cupcakes to help her friend celebrate his 90th birthday. So I made these scrummy vanilla cakes filled with jam and topped with cream cheese frosting, fresh fruit and a chocolate leaf. Val wrote me a lovely thank you note this morning.
Valerie lives in a care home and so at the moment her brother is unable to visit her even on her landmark birthday. He contacted me and requested this lemon cake, filled with home made lemon curd decorated with orange coloured roses. I delivered it this morning. There was plenty to share with staff and other residents. Hope you all had a lovely day.
