Lance’s wonderfully rich life was celebrated by his many friends this week as we bid him a final farewell. Golf was one of his many and varied interests, hence 110 almost identical themed cupcakes……

Joint birthday for a doctor and a golfer
Gemma is throwing a house party for her family and friends this weekend, two of whom are celebrating their birthdays. She chose a lemon layer cake decorated to reflect their interests. Hope this fitted the bill.
Birthday cake for a golfer and sailor
Val wanted a cake for a family celebration of her husband’s big birthday. Trevor splits his time between golfing and sailing so we decorated this lemon filled madeira cake with themes from both pass-times. Hope it fitted the bill.
Ruby Wedding Anniversary Cake
Florence and Michael were celebrating 40 years of marriage with a weekend of celebrations with their friends. We went for a rich fruit cake decorated with ruby roses, an edible photo of their wedding day in 1978 and sugar ‘snapshots’ of their lives here on the South Coast and in Tenerife. Happy anniversary to you both.
80th Birthday Cake for a tomato grower
George enjoys his vegetable gardening and is a great reader. His wife wanted a fairly simple cake which depicted these interests. Hope this fitted the bill
Golden Wedding
Rachel’s parents in law, Ian and Anne were renewing their wedding vows 50 years after they first made them. The service was to be followed by a party for all their friends and relations- all 75 of them. So, she asked for a big Madeira cake decorated with golden roses and three tiers seemed the best way to go about it. Congratulations Ian and Anne, Happy anniversary to you both.
I found out that Ian and Anne had the cake ‘piped in’ and they sent a picture of their grandson doing the honours.
Unicorn cake
Grace is going to be six and asked for a unicorn cake for her party. This has chocolate layer cake under the icing and glitter. Hope your friends like it Grace. Have fun. 
Chocolate extravaganza
Pat asked me for a 40th birthday cake for her daughter. She planned to take it up north with her to the party. Her daughter refused to have her name or age on it, just wanting a combination of lemon and chocolate cakes decorated with chocolate shards. Of course it turned out to be one of the hottest weekends on record when it had to be iced and transported which didn’t make it easy. However, I believe it made it in one piece and was pretty much demolished at the party. Success.
90th birthday cake
Daphne had a very special birthday celebration tea party at a hotel in Brockenhurst but wanted plenty of cake left over for her neighbours and herself! So we chose two rich fruit cakes in the shape of her age, one to eat at the party and one for later. Her son had very firm ideas about the design and particularly wanted blue and yellow flowers, remembering specially the wisteria that grew around Daphne’s house.
Cake for a birthday in Tenerife
Michael’s special birthday was due to fall while he was away in Tenerife. We needed to make a cake that would travel safely in the hand luggage – so we picked a rich, nutty fruit cake that would fit snuggly into a sturdy tin. Florence wanted the cake to reflect Michael’s love of Flamenco dancing as well as his home overlooking the Solent to the Isle of Wight and the holiday view of Mount Teide. And the whole thing was to be a surprise. Well, I got the cake made, smuggling it to Tenerife without Michael seeing was Florence’s problem!
