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.
A little while ago I was asked to make a slightly off the wall cake for an informal wedding. The Groom has a deep interest in sharks, with his particular favourite being Hammerheads. The Bride is fascinated by edible seaweed….. and they have a cat. So I was charged with getting them all onto this layered Victoria sponge cake. Roses might have been more conventional. I understand it went down very well. Congratulations to you all.
Libby and her twin brother Richard, turned 80 this summer so I made this open book cake with a page for each of them featuring their wide range of interests over the years. Libby loves her cat, had a career in teaching and used to dance the night away. Richard was a plumber, a cyclist and a sailor. Inside is a lemon cake filled with fresh lemon curd.
