Gwen had her super-milestone birthday coming up and Chris asked if I could make a cake for her mum to share with her family as well as some matching cupcakes that she could distribute among her friends. Chris had seen a cake on this Facebook page that she liked the style of and asked for similar decorations on a jam and vanilla sponge. So here we are. Very many congratulations Gwen and many happy returns.
Fearn was 7 this weekend and was off to celebrate with a climbing party. Her grandparents have asked me to make her cake every year for a while now so here is Fearn climbing up two tiers of strawberry and buttercream filled sponge cake. Hope you had a great party
Jason asked me to make a cake for his mum’s 70th birthday. He found a picture of a design he liked, sent it to me and we based the cake on that changing the colours and flowers to suit. His mum loves pink lilies so this jam and buttercream layered Victoria sponge was iced in white and then covered in pretty pink flowers and a little bit of sparkle.
Carol had a surprise party just before Christmas. Her family gathered all her friends together for a wonderful celebration of her big birthday. Carol loves her garden and is a keen bird watcher so I made this two-tiered cake in lemon sponge with fresh lemon curd filling for her to share with all the guests. The bird box is all cake and the little blue tit is made of sugar. Wishing you very many happy returns Carol.

David contacted me a few weeks ago as his family were congregating in Milford for a holiday by the sea to celebrate his wife’s birthday. He had seen a cake a bit like this one on my cakesonsea.com website and asked if I could do one for him. I delivered it to their holiday house on a beautiful sunny day, I hope you all had a lovely time.
Fearn’s family love owls and this year her birthday party has taken on the owl theme. Fearn’s grandparents always organise her cake and asked me to make this one with a rather solemn looking but endearing sugar owl perched on the top.
Tia’s 16th birthday is later this week and she is off to New York. So her family are celebrating this afternoon and her Gran asked me to make this heart-shaped vanilla sponge, layered with jam and buttercream, featuring her favourite e.l.f. cosmetics

Margot’s birthday has come round again. This year she wanted her and her five best friends singing their hearts out around a microphone. All on top of a sticky chocolate fudge layer cake. her mum sent me photos of them all so that I could at least get them mildly recognisable! I know you had a sleepover with them all Margot, I hope the rest of your day was as much fun.
