Double Bass Cake

Jamie’s family have come down to the south coast for their Easter break and to celebrate his 18th birthday. Jamie is a jazz double bass player so his mum asked if I could help with a suitable cake. This is a Victoria sponge filled with jam and buttercream and covered in chocolate fondant. Everything is edible apart from the slightly wonky wire strings. Hope you all had a great day.

Jazz musician’s cake

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

Taylor Swift

Jackie’s daughter is a ‘Swifty’ and has tickets for her upcoming concert in London. She had to talk me through exactly what was needed for a Taylor Swift birthday cake as I’m afraid Abba and Elton John are more my era. However, I can now recite all the album names plus their associated colours and symbols.. who knew?. Inside this creation is a layered chocolate, vanilla and chocolate orange sponge. I hope this cuts it Jackie, it was great fun to do.

Singing, travel, dogs and gardening!

This is a birthday cake for a lady with many talents and interests. She is a retired nurse, she loves to sing, loves to travel (she is just back from a trip to Australia), and enjoys gardening. She adores her two granddaughters and her dog. I don’t think we could have got much more onto this rich fruit cake. Just right for a celebration with family and friends.
