Luxurious romantic red for my lovely customer’s in-laws 40th wedding anniversary celebration.

A ruby wedding is a rare occasion these days & deserves huge congratulations & cake!

The bouquet is a 50/50 mix of vanilla with strawberry jam filling, and red velvet with vanilla buttercream. Perfect choices for a red bouquet.

Some lovely feedback came a few days later “Hi Sara,
I just wanted to thank you again for another amazing cake. They went down very well and T and T were so happy with them 😊 The red velvet was very popular 👍”

It’s always a pleasure to bake for people who love cake 🥰

In order to get a decent deep red, there’s only one product for me Sugarflair Red Extra from

This cake celebrates the legend that is and the underwater world he lives in.
tite wanted a fun cake to help celebrate her 20th & thankfully it went down a storm. It was all kinds of Oreo cookie yumminess inside.

Thanks Stephanie for your support & enthusiasm for my small business. I look forward to baking for you again.

What an achievement, graduating as a Royal Marine Commando!

Cam’s parents, quite rightly, were very proud of his accomplishment.

They ordered a Guinness chocolate for his passing out party. I was able to personalise it for him to make that bit more special.

The feedback I received was just lovely:
“His party was fantastic, Your cake really was the icing on the cake. Everyone was blown away with the design and Cam was very reluctant to cut into it but he did and it was delicious!”

Thank you for your service Cam, & best wishes for an exciting career.

A very thoughtful daughter ordered this bouquet for her mom’s birthday. It couldn’t have been more sunny, on this very sunny bank holiday weekend.

The brief was: frangipani & lily’s (yellow & white) and an absolute winner of a flavour combo: Guinness chocolate with salted caramel buttercream.

Yuuuummmm!

Whenever I bake for Henry, it reminds me how old is. He was one of my very first customers, and that was almost six years ago!

As Henry grows up, so does shortybakescakes.

I was thrilled to make this cake for him, for the Sugarpaste modelling challenge, and for the love of this movie franchise. is much loved in our household & to create this homage was a dream come true.

Bonus points if you can guess the movie!

Henry chose s’mores flavour cake, so I made a buttermilk chocolate sponge, with Belgian chocolate buttercream, crushed Digestive biscuits & Toasted Marshmallow buttercream using icing sugars.

Devin’s birthday was on-trend and full of youth culture with the 6-7 theme.
Unsurprisingly, he turned 7.

He would only have one flavour for his birthday cake….red velvet with vanilla buttercream.
