Classic Car

Rosemary and Derek wanted a memorable cake for their son’s 60th birthday. They chose a Victoria sandwich cake in the shape of classic sports car. We added personalised number plates and some silver lustre to make it sparkle. I hope it went down well Rosemary, it was great fun to make.

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.

Climbing wall

Theo was having a very exciting 6th birthday including the installation of a climbing wall in his bedroom. His Mum asked me to make this vanilla jam and buttercream sponge in the shape of a climbing wall, complete with Theo clambering up it for his party. How wonderful. Climb carefully Theo.

Richard’s vegetable patch

Richard is 80 this weekend. He is a keen gardener and his wife Liz asked me to make this surprise vegetable patch cake for their weekend away with the family. Inside is a vanilla sponge layered with jam and buttercream. On top are sugar vegetables (yes even sprouts) set in chocolate soil with a pair of wellies, a spade and a jolly robin on the top. I hope you all have a lovely time.

Hearts and Cosmetics

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

Have a god birthday and fabulous trip Tia

Pink stripes and macarons.

Iris is 9 and chose a picture of a stripy pink cake for me to copy for her birthday. This is pink sponge layered with white buttercream and decorated in striped buttercream. On top are some delicious macarons (courtesy of the sugar glaze bakery) and a handful of strawberries, Yum. I hope it was pink and stripy enough Iris!
