lemon and rosemary macaron cake

I had a rather last minute call from Sarah who needed an emergency cake for her friend’s 60th birthday. She had a topper all lined up but thus far the cake was missing! So in the end we agreed on a lemon and rosemary sponge layered with buttercream, fresh lemon curd and fresh raspberries and topped with macarons and more raspberries. Some sprigs of rosemary from my garden finished the decorations off and we got it done in time.. phew

Later, Sarah sent me a photo of the cake after it was cut. Thankyou, glad it went down well

Macaron Cake

I’ve made a few cakes for Jenny and her family over the years and this time she wanted something a bit indulgent to celebrate her sister’s 50th birthday. This is a five-layered pink and white sponge filled with buttercream and jam and iced in pink and white stripey buttercream, On top are raspberry macarons and fresh strawberries and it is crowned with a sparkly, pink, bespoke topper. hope the family had a super day,
