Proof that cakes can have personalities too 🥹🍒🎾

(And can I request a little appreciation for the teeny tiny tennis wristbands?!)

Thank you, Tilly, for giving me completely free rein on this one. You saw my Jellycat collection, so you knew this cake was an absolute dream for me to create 💛

Wishing you the happiest 11th birthday xx

Such a special cake to create 💛

Celebrating Pam’s 90th with soft spring blooms, zingy lemon sponge, and a whole lot of love 🌸🍋

Happy Friday-eve everyone! xx

Houston, we have a 9th birthday… 🚀✨

An Artemis rocket-themed design for Harry’s 9th birthday featuring an edible rocket, thrusters, Earth and moon. I couldn’t resist incorporating the moon colours seen in the mission photos — have you seen them? They’re stunning.

Children’s novelty cakes are always some of my favourite projects, especially when I get to make something this cool.

Happy Birthday Harry — it is always an absolute joy to create your requests ❤️ x

There’s something so timelessly romantic about soft ivory tiers, a hint of powder blue and delicate florals that always hits.

No trends, no fuss… just properly pretty. ✨

Would you keep it classic like this or switch up the colours? 🤍🩵

The classics are definitely back, and I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon! 💫

A soft, romantic design with ivory Lambeth buttercream and gold accents for Livvie's 21st.

These vintage-style heart cakes are quickly becoming a firm favourite for BuBakes clients… and I'm not mad about it!

May and June dates are filling quickly, so if you have a celebration in the diary do get in touch sooner rather than later - I'd hate to not be able to help 🤍

For Max’s 30th, it had to be something special 🖤

Inspired by Barad-dûr from Lord of the Rings, this towering design was all about texture, drama and detail — right down to the Eye watching over it all 🔥

I have done a few cakes for Max and his family over the years, and I’m always blown away by the trust they put in me to just “do my thing”

And yes… my Lego Hagrid made a guest appearance for scale (because how else do I show just how tall this was?!)

☘️☘️ Happy St Patrick's Day! ☘️☘️

Not a "cake person", we can work with that...

Alongside treat towers, I can also provide macaron towers to match your wedding colours. When better than today to share this set up in shades of green?!

A touch of edible gold leaf on these beauties added that extra bit of "wow" to an already unique setup.

Cheers everyone 🍺x

From now on, all cakes need a champagne fridge as their backdrop... 🍾🍾🍾🍾

A rustic buttercream finish, with organically grown edible roses. It's such a romantic aesthetic, and one I hope never goes out of style.

It's that day again...

It's been 5 years now since Daddy BuBakes was injected with 270 million CAR-T cells 🤯.

It was part of a clinical trial, after over a year of intense chemo and radiotherapy for mantle cell lymphoma had failed miserably. (You can click on the photo below to find out more if you missed this on previous years)

The current 5 year prognosis for this rare, viciously aggressive cancer is 55%, and that (improving) stat is due to these newer therapies now being available.

Thanks for continuing to hang about Dad, I'm ever so glad that you're doing so...

To everyone else, light the good candle, tell the people you love that you love them, and remember life is too short for bad wine 🍷🍷

The most special cake I've EVER made...

On January 11th 2021, Daddy BuBakes was injected with 270 million CAR-T cells.

He had mantle cell lymphoma, and the (brutal) chemo he had received hadn't even touched the sides. Towards the end of 2020 he was accepted as a patent to undergo a clinical trial, and so began another loop of an even scarier rollercoaster.

💙

A super cool thing is that with CAR T cell therapy, when they give the transfusion it becomes the "rebirthday".

So, yesterday at exactly 3.20pm, I knocked on my dad's front door to surprise him and wish him a happy 1st birthday.

Yup, Daddy BuBakes is a total badass, who decided to stick around for a little bit longer.

It's not been plain sailing, and I am SO proud of how he continues to deal with everything that comes up.

💙

On top of the cake is the text he sent me to let me know the infusion had taken place, taking pride of place among edible images of T Cells.

Happy 1st birthday Dad!
