Roisin and Ian shared a birthday weekend. Or has a beautiful new baby girl and Ian is a Leicester Tigers supporter. So a chocolate sponge with icing and sugar neckwear to reflect both. Simple!

Book-lover
Sue wanted a cake for a friend with a milestone birthday. There was to be a big party for both adults and children and she wanted a variety of cake to cover all tastes. So as there were two numbers involved, we had the 6 in carrot cake and the 5 in sticky chocolate. The birthday girl is a serious book-lover and rather than any written message, we went for 65 little books, all made of sugar scattered over the cake. I had a lovely message from Sue after the party to say that the cake had been a huge success and that the books had been carefully counted by the children before being devoured and that almost the whole cake had been eaten by the end of the evening. Fab.
Hockey pitch cake
Irene’s grand daughter is a keen hockey player. Her favourite colours are pink and purple and she loves chocolate cake. So we iced a gooey chocolate sponge in the palest of greens and then piped the hockey pitch in pink. Sugar goal posts and a birthday message and we are all done
Multigenerational celebration cake
Mo and Paul’s family are in the middle of a momentous year with big birthdays new babies and multiple successes through members of all generations. In spite of being in the midst of unpacking following their recent house move, Mo and Paul are hosting a whole family get together and wanted this double cake to get the party started. Fresh lemon filled cake on one side and chocolate fudge on the other should keep everyone happy. Have a great weekend everyone.
Party girl!
Alison provided the topper, candles and diamanté ribbons so that all I had to do was bake a triple layer chocolate and cover it in fondant. Add some lace quilting and a lustre finish and Bob’s your uncle. A 21st birthday cake ready for an evening barbecue party.
Flying and golf
I have been doing a brisk line in special interest cakes. This one was for a British Airways pilot who loves his golf. Thank you for providing the model aircraft (phew!)
Music, art and golf
Mo’s great loves are art and music. Her husband has just persuaded her to have another go at golf. He commissioned the cake for her birthday and insisted that the golf tees went on it as well. 🙄 Hope you had fun Mo!
Jewellery box cake
30th birthday lemon cake iced for a shopaholic who loves classy jewellery.
Golden Wedding Anniversary
Simple lemon Madeira cake filled with homemade lemon curd was under the sugar gerberas and celebratory bunting.
Unicorns and roller skates
This year, 8 year old Freya wanted a cake that incorporated roller skates and unicorns. Not the most obvious partners but we managed something. Plenty of gooey chocolate cake under the frosting.
