Kirsty’s Dad had a big birthday in January which he celebrated with his family. here are a few of his favourite things on top of this jam and buttercream-filled vanilla sponge cake
Cake for Dad
Sweet explosion
I have been making Margot’s birthday cake for a few years now. This year she has gone for an outrageous explosion of sweetshop sweets on top of a layered red velvet cake. Don’t eat it all at once Margot!
Christmas tree cake
And here is one of the Christmas cakes I have made this year. This rich fruit cake, laced with brandy travelled to Tenerife for the celebrations. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas 2022
Bee keepers cake
One of Janine’s work colleagues is leaving to take up a new post. she is a keen bee keeper and i was asked to make a bee-inspired cake. Inside is a big layered lemon sponge with fresh lemon curd filling. On the top are sugar flowers and lots of jolly sugar bees, some of them air-borne, as well as a sprinkle of sparkle. Good luck in your new job Alison.
Mermaid birthday
beth had her 7th birthday a little while ago and her Gran asked me to make this layered chocolate cake with a sparkly sugar mermaid sitting on top. I’m sure you had a lovely birthday Beth
Chloe’s Cupcakes
Chloe spent her birthday with her Gran who ordered half a dozen raspberry and vanilla cupcakes topped with Chloes name in pretty sugar letters.
Thunderbird 2
I made Thunderbird 1 a few weeks ago and now here is Thunderbird 2 for Sam’s 5th birthday. This is a chocolate cake, big enough to share with all Sam’s friends at his party.
Campervan Anniversary
Liz and Richard had an extended golden wedding celebration taking their family and friends away for a weekend in Dorset. They wanted a big cake to keep everyone going for the whole holiday and asked me to make it in the shape of their campervan. (I don’t think they stuffed everyone in it this time). Anyway, this is a huge chocolate cake iced as a rough representation of their vehicle. Vaguely recognisable I think and delicious I hope. Have fun everyone
Cricket cake
Fred is an obsessive supporter of the Southern Braves Cricket team and for his 1oth birthday, his Gran ordered a sticky chocolate cake iced in the team colours. Hope you had a good day Fred
Golden Wedding
To celebrate 50 years of marriage, Liz and Richard held a lovely party at South Lawns Hotel. They chose a lemon layer cake, iced in a design they saw on this website with a big sugar bow and a sugar bouquet of freesias and gypsophila which are the flowers Liz carried on her wedding day.
