Debbie contacted me months ago to order a special cake for her intrepid mother in law. Margaret will be celebrating her 80th birthday this weekend and then on her actual birthday will set off in her campervan with her Labrador Molly by her side. They are off up to the Scottish Highlands to complete the North Coast 500. What a way to celebrate!
So here is a lemon layer cake depicting the scenery of Scotland around the sides
Good luck to you both, have a wonderful trip.
Teresas mum is 90. She wanted a special cake decorated as a vegetable garden. Just one snag, her mum doesn’t like icing. So we left one corner of this lemon cake uniced, put some biscuit crumb gravel in the top and made a sugar garden shed to cover it up. Hey presto. The rest has chocolate soil and little sugar vegetables. Hope we’ve kept everyone happy!
Hazel and her family gathered in Milford to celebrate her mums birthday. She showed me some pictures of beach themed cakes and this was the result. Underneath the icing is a three layered carrot cake with traditional cream cheese frosting between. Hope you all had fun
Libby has had cakes from me in the past and this time asked me for a lemon cake decorated with bright sugar gerberas for her daughter’s birthday. When I delivered it she admitted that she was going to share it as it is her birthday too
Happy birthday to you both
Caroline called me from Oxfordshire and said she had been searching for the perfect rich fruit cake for her father in laws birthday. He is a very talented artist and she had been googling ideas and when she came across a picture of a cake I had done many years ago on this web page. She wanted an almost exact replica except with penguins (who knows?) and Sydney’s signature ‘S’ on the sides. Caroline sent her husband all the way down to the coast to collect it – I really hope that the birthday boy is pleased with it
Florence is celebrating a big birthday this month and this is one of the two cakes I helped her with. Florence’s neice made the fruit cake and the marzipan which I used to cover it. Then I iced it and applied the edible printed border that is round the edge (no, I didn’t paint it). But I did make the sugar poppies and cornflowers to go on the top and matched the print on Florence’s lovely dress.
Happy birthday Florence
I made a cake for Marilyn’s birthday a little while ago and now she wants one for her husband Mike. He was in the police force, has a lovely black Labrador and his Land Rover is his pride and joy. So an eclectic mix of sugar models to celebrate his 70th birthday on top of a proper old fashioned rich fruit cake
I made some flowers for Sue’s wedding cake a couple of years ago, she rang me again to ask for a cake for her grandsons birthday. Just a simple vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream filling inside this number one
Martin’s favourite cake is a Black Forest gateau and his favourite thing to do is play golf. So for his 80th birthday lunch Sue asked me to make a proper squishy gateau with chocolate ganache, cherries and cream, on top of which I made a sugar 80 shaped like a tiny golf course. I hope it ticked all the boxes Martin.
Casey contacted me again for Orans birthday cake. A vanilla sponge filled with jam and piped in buttercream. Plenty of cake here to feed a football team
