Steve is an enthusiastic ice hockey fan and an avid follower of the Canadian Maple Leafs. So for his special birthday I used the royal icing flood work technique to trace the team emblem and then personalised it to fit the occasion. Hope you like it Steve.

80th birthday cake to reflect a full life
Vina asked me to make a cake for George’s birthday. He loves fruit cake so that was an easy choice. George and his family travelled the world during his career in the Life Guards and then he spent a very happy time as secretary of Winter Hill Golf Club before retiring to Milford. We tried to represent all the landmarks of his life on the cake. Hope you like it Goerge, happy birthday.
Diamond Wedding Anniversary Cake
Joyce and Colin have been married sixty years and are having a party for family and friends to celebrate. I decorated this rich fruit cake in ice blue and white with a handful of sugar diamonds. Congratulations to you both.
Birthday cake for a Reading FC fan
Matthew has supported Reading FC all his life. It was his 30th birthday the weekend they made it to Wembley. No debate as to what to put on his cake!
Birthday cake for a 6 year old gymnast
Freya sent me special instructions for her 6th birthday cake. It needed to be chocolate, with pink icing and a gymnast on the top. She drew me a lovely picture to help. My version is not quite the same, the anti-gravity posture of the gymnast was a bit too much of a challenge, but I really hope that this will do. Happy birthday Freya.
Birthday cake for a model railway enthusiast
John is a model railway enthusiast extraordinaire! His passion has led to the entire upper floor of his house being converted into a railway, the new layout being revealed as part of his 70th birthday celebrations this weekend.
John and Jenny have 6 grandchildren all of whom wanted a slice of the action, so we made this with each of the chocolate cake goods-trucks bearing the name of one of the children.
Happy birthday John, wishing you many joyful hours in the signal box.
80th Birthday cake for an ardent Chelsea supporter
Dave has been a dedicated Chelsea supporter all his life. He and his family were given a tour of Stamford Bridge as his 80th birthday present and then he had a party for 50 of his friends a few days later. Three tiers of madeira cake in lemon, chocolate and vanilla iced, of course, in blue and white. Many happy returns Dave.
30 years of Lymington Town Tours
Vivien contacted me via Streetlife and asked if I could make a cake to celebrate 30 years of the splendid Lymington Town Tours. (If you haven’t been on one, they are a really great way to uncover local history). We made a large plain Madeira cake with a jam filling and decorated it with Lymington landmarks in the organisation’s colours of cream and green. 30 candles finished it off. I understand the party went well and those not there got a slice of cake parcelled up in front boxes from Waitrose!
90th birthday party for the whole family
This cake catered for everyone. Wholewheat ginger cake on the bottom and gluten free chocolate on the top. Plenty of candles and sparklers to add a bit of pazazz.
Wedding anniversary cake spanning 50 years
Irene had kept the floral topper from her original wedding cake. It was carefully packed in a box and had survived unscathed for 50 years. Irene planned a 50th anniversary party but wanted a second cake to share with her friends at church the following day so we settled on this two tier fruit cake. I made sugar flowers which I hope reflect those in the vintage topper and this was the result. Very many congratulations Irene.
