Diamond Wedding and 80th birthday

Jill and Eric celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary with family and friends at a local hotel. This is a rich fruit cake (Eric’s favourite) iced with marzipan and white fondant and decorated with diamond ribbons. On the side is a bunch of hand made sugar sweet peas.

Jill was married on her 20th birthday so has always had to share her birthday celebrations with her anniversary. This year, she decided that she would also have her favourite cake – a squishy chocolate sponge, filled with chocolate fudge, iced in chocolate buttercream and covered in chocolate sweets and golden sprinkles. I hope you both had a wonderful day and congratulations

Anemone diamond wedding

Another diamond wedding anniversary with sugar flowers to match the bridal bouquet of 60 years ago. This time the flowers are lovely purple anemones which I loved making. Inside is a fresh lemon and buttercream layer cake. The cake was a surprise to Margaret and Mike from their family. I think we managed to keep the secret. Congratulations

Roses for a Diamond Wedding

Jan and Julian have been married for 60 years. They have been on a lovely cruise with their family and are now having a party for their friends. Jan carried beautiful orange and yellow roses on her wedding day so here they are again, 60 years on as part of her cake. Inside is a rich fruit cake covered in home made almond paste. Delicious
