Just Ottering

Mags held a party in her garden to celebrate her 65th birthday. She has a particular penchant for sea otters and so Ian asked if I could make a cake with a sea otter floating on it for her. Of course.. and look at the wavy candles i found! I couldn’t resist adding the chicken as I knew that a couple of days earlier four new chickens had come to live in their hen house. I love doing cakes like this.. Happy birthday Mags x

Cat’s whiskers

A double celebration lunch today. Cheryl and Lin both had birthdays this week but way more exciting than that, they are soon going to have two new adorable kittens living with them. In anticipation, here is the lemon layer cake in rather stylised cat form which they have plunged a knife into and recklessly consumed this afternoon. Happy birthday and congratulations on your imminent new family members.
