Multigenerational celebration party

Mo, Paul and their family have achieved a lot this year. In spite of Mo and Paul still being in the midst of unpacking boxes after their move, the family have all gathered this weekend for a party to celebrate across four generations. We needed a double cake so that Chris’ birthday was given special mention and we took the opportunity to make one side lemon and the other chocolate to please everyone. Congratulations to you all

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.florence anni 6

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.

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.C2286F9E-2DEB-4D20-8E75-6E1E42280E73
