Christina is a big TikTok fan. For her 10th birthday she could only have a very small party, so this was a little rainbow sponge with 5 multicoloured layers inside. Bright pink buttercream covered in sugar hearts and musical notes. Hope you had fun Christina
Edna and Norman have a very special anniversary this week. They have a weekend in Oxfordshire with their family and wanted a cake to go with their celebratory glass of champagne. Edna carried a bouquet of yellow roses on her wedding day 60 years ago and wanted them represented on this traditional rich fruit cake. We added a piped message and then finished it off with a pale green sugar ribbon and bow. I piped some tiny yellow flowers around the sides to tie the colours in and added a little sprinkling of glitter. Very many congratulations to a lovely couple.
Rachel contacted me from afar. Her mum lives locally and the extended family planned a celebratory Sunday lunch at a well known brasserie in Highcliffe.
She sent me a picture of something she liked and I think we managed to pretty well copy the original. This is a five layer sponge cake (pink and white stripes inside but you will have to take my word on that) sandwiched and covered in pink and white vanilla buttercream. It is topped with white chocolate ganache drip icing and then lots and lots of pink and white chocolates and sweets. The whole thing was finished off with a golden cake topper message.
I delivered the cake cake to the restaurant in time for the party. Rachel was kind enough to message me the next day “ I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing cake. It was perfect and my mum loved it!”
My pleasure Rachel. Glad it was a success.
Wendy and Chris wanted a chocolate extravaganza for their family gathering in Dorset this weekend. They are celebrating 50 years of marriage so deserved something indulgent. These are dark chocolate Madeira cakes filled with black cherry jam, smothered in chocolate fudge and then covered in chocolate fondant. Add lots of gold stars and a bit of sparkle and here is a celebration cake to suit everyone. Happy Anniversary Wendy and Chris.
This was an unusual Christening cake with rainbows inside and out. Multicolour vanilla sponge layers with buttercream filling covered in fondant and topped with a sugar rainbow and rainbow flowers and little butterflies.
Jess sent me the picture of the cut cake with this very kind message: “Wow what a beautiful cake!! It was amazing in looks and taste. Well our picnic was eventful in the rain but thankfully we had the cake and Prosecco to make it all better!”
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!
