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.
Jan volunteered to make her grandson’s 4th birthday cake for a family party in lock-down. Sam requested pigs, so Jan asked if I could help with some little sugar pig faces to put on the top. That was fun! Jan sent me a picture of her finished cake.. certainly piggy!
Jessica wanted to treat her friend for a lock-down birthday. So she requested a dozen of these cup cakes, each filled with a spoonful of cherries and topped with pretty pink buttercream and a little sprinkle of glitter. All delivered safely.
Barney is 12 this year and still loves chocolate and dinosaurs. Chocolate fudge filled chocolate cake with chocolate ganache icing should be sufficient to satisfy the former and I’m hoping this sugar spinosaurus is good enough for an expert. Happy birthday Barney.
A batch of lemon-filled, red, white and blue fairy cakes for our impromptu socially distanced VE Day street party today. Ideal for a sunny afternoon with a cup of tea and a nice chat. We had a great time
Freya had requested a Minecraft theme for her 9th birthday cake. Gooey Chocolate as usual but decorated with sugar models of her favourite Minecraft characters. As it turned out, poor Freya’s party was cancelled because we were in lockdown, but she had her cake just the same and celebrated at home with her family. Happy Birthday Freya!
