Liz and Martin celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with a family party at Chewton Glen. They are both keen sports players – Liz of tennis and Martin of golf and they particularly wanted a cake that would reflect those interests. Inside is a lemon sponge layered with home made lemon curd. On top are a sugar golf club and tennis racquet and a pretty golden message. Congratulations to you both.
This is a pretty cake. The design was sent to me by Jenny and we recreated it for Ella’s birthday party. This three layered chocolate cake is covered in yellow buttercream and rainbow of butterflies. Hope you had a lovely day Ella
Debbie contacted me months ago to order a special cake for her intrepid mother in law. Margaret will be celebrating her 80th birthday this weekend and then on her actual birthday will set off in her campervan with her Labrador Molly by her side. They are off up to the Scottish Highlands to complete the North Coast 500. What a way to celebrate!
So here is a lemon layer cake depicting the scenery of Scotland around the sides
Good luck to you both, have a wonderful trip.
I made some flowers for Sue’s wedding cake a couple of years ago, she rang me again to ask for a cake for her grandsons birthday. Just a simple vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream filling inside this number one
Casey contacted me again for Orans birthday cake. A vanilla sponge filled with jam and piped in buttercream. Plenty of cake here to feed a football team
Noah loves the Julia Donaldson book ‘Tiddler’ and Lucy asked me to make his third birthday cake featuring the characters from the story. Inside is a jam and buttercream layered sponge and all around are Tiddler and his fishy companions. I have three grandchildren under four, all of them discerning Donaldson fans and I was relieved when all of them instantly recognised the theme of the cake from this photo.. phew!
Happy Birthday Noah
The New Milton Petanque Club celebrated its 30th birthday last weekend. Because of the vagaries of the British summer they wanted a cake that could be put in the freezer if the necessarily al fresco party had to be postponed. So we went for a jam and buttercream filled number 30 covered in a simple buttercream with sugar petanque balls on the top. From the photos on their website, no-one needed to worry about the weather and a good time was had by all.
Theo is 7 and was having an archery themed party this year. His mum asked for a chocolate layer cake with an archery target on the top with as many organic ingredients as possible. A nice easy one.. once we had made the arrows..
Francesca has been dreaming of a totally chocolate cake for her 18th birthday. It has become something of a family joke that when the time came it would be chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. So here we are, a chocolate sponge, covered in chocolate buttercream and crumbled flake, piled high with chocolate sweets. Even the board is covered in chocolate buttons. I really hope that this scratched the itch Francesca, Happy birthday.
Casey contacted me about a Simba cake for Nolan’s 6th birthday party. The children don’t like fondant icing much so we needed to find a way to make a passable Disney lion without the need to use too much. This is a jam and buttercream layered sponge cake covered in buttercream with just edible modelling paste used for ears and face. job done!
