I made a cake for Emma’s Dad last year, and now it was his partner Lil’s turn for a big birthday. I had a very particular request for a chocolate sponge covered in chocolate buttercream. On top is Lil herself in her bowling kit surrounded by gardening paraphernalia and her favourite white and purple flowers. Emma managed to transport it over to Swanage without incident and it lasted until it was needed on party day. Happy birthday Lil.
Karen’s dad was 90 last weekend and they marked the day with a little chocolate cake decorated with a golfing theme. There were just four of them so the cake was only 6″ across but we managed to get the necessary detail in. I understand it went down well. Happy birthday
Joel contacted me as they were coming down to Milford to celebrate his partner Ana’s birthday. Ana is Spanish and the place she comes from is well known for ceramics with a particular traditional design. We incorporated this design on Ana’s chocolate cake with her greeting in Spanish, sprinkled with lavish quantities of edible glitter. Happy birthday Ana
Alyson and Trevor’s granddaughter had her 18th birthday party last week. Freya’s instructions were clear, a chocolate cake filled with chocolate fudge and covered in black icing. The writing had to be gold and the cake should feature a pair of red soled stilettos and a bottle of Prada perfume. Your wish is my command Freya- add a bit of sparkle and here we are!
This is a pretty cake. The design was sent to me by Jenny and we recreated it for Ella’s birthday party. This three layered chocolate cake is covered in yellow buttercream and rainbow of butterflies. Hope you had a lovely day Ella
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.
Theo is 7 and was having an archery themed party this year. His mum asked for a chocolate layer cake with an archery target on the top with as many organic ingredients as possible. A nice easy one.. once we had made the arrows..
Francesca has been dreaming of a totally chocolate cake for her 18th birthday. It has become something of a family joke that when the time came it would be chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. So here we are, a chocolate sponge, covered in chocolate buttercream and crumbled flake, piled high with chocolate sweets. Even the board is covered in chocolate buttons. I really hope that this scratched the itch Francesca, Happy birthday.
Janet wanted a chocolate cake for her husband’s 90th birthday. He is a keen jazz pianist so we incorporated his love of music onto this 4 layer chocolate sponge which is filled with chocolate ganache and black cherry jam and covered in chocolate buttercream. 9 candles to finish it off. I hope the family celebration went well
Clare asked me to make a chocolate cake for her her mums birthday. The cake in the picture she showed me had a chocolate collar which I have to say, I have never been asked to do before. But hurray! it all worked out. So this is a chocolate cake filled and covered with chocolate buttercream and finished with a chocolate lattice and chocolate-dipped strawberries. I hope the terrible weather doesn’t dampen your celebrations.
