Last week I made my last wedding cake. This was a lovely one to finish up with. The bride was super chilled about the whole thing - which made me more relaxed than usual about it. She was more interested about the cake than the decoration but sent through a photo of the style she was after.

The bottom was a rich fruit cake and the top tier a sticky toffee cake filled with caramel buttercream and caramel drizzle.

I made a couple of sugar roses and a selection of foliage to put in a posy to go in the middle of the cake. Simple but effective.

I got a lovely email from my customer after the special day:
" Hi, just wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful cake. Every single person commented on how beautiful and delicious it was. What a fantastic job you do" I was smiling all day when I got it. It was a pleasure.

Hi everyone, changes are afoot…

With much soul searching I have decided to give up cakes for the time being. I have now got a part time job at the lovely Gingerbugs & Co and am looking to concentrate on growing my chocolate business.

I will of course honour all cake bookings in my diary, but I won’t be taking on any new orders for the time being.

So, if you would like to order chocolate instead of cake for your celebration take a look at (and like) my chocolate FB page (https://www.facebook.com/LilyPadChocolates). I do all sorts, including personalised slabs and have a myriad of ideas for new products, which I hope to develop now I'm not making cakes anymore.

I also have an online shop where you can purchase my full range: https://www.lilypadbakery.co.uk/shop and an Etsy shop where you can order from a limited range of goodies: https://lilypadchocolates.etsy.com. I am taking corporate orders too - so if that is something you think I can help you with then please get in touch.

In the meantime, here's the last cake I made, for my lovely Dad who turned 80 earlier in the year. His hobby is making model trains and trams - so this was an attempt of re-creating his workspace...I was pleased with it - but in real life it is more chaotic!!!!! I think my Dad liked it - he had to be coerced into cutting it and then would only take a slither off the back of the cake where no-one could see 🤣

I'll post a couple more cakes that I haven't shared with you - including some wedding cakes over the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, thank you to all my lovely customers for their orders over the 15 years I've been doing this - I have lovely memories of lots of wonderful commissions you have given me.

It's not very often someone sees a cake and asks for a repeat with only very few tweaks. Makes it interesting for me as I then have to remember how I did everything 😊. For this one, I dressed Dean in his favourite cycling gear and added a road marker for his local favourite route.

Happy birthday Dean, hope you had a fab day.

A lovely ballet themed cake for a young lady turning 16. A 3 tiered moist chocolate cake with white fondant and a simple ribbon decoration. A lovely elegant cake.

A very happy birthday to The OPO Bar. I had lots of fun putting this cake together to help them celebrate. I even used stout in the cake to give it an authentic flavour!

I've been sifting through my cake photos and found a couple from last year that I haven't shared with you.

Here's a lovely one for a lady who was turning 80. She loves playing golf and bridge. My customer found a two tier cake made by the lovely Fiona at by No More Tiers (York) which married the two hobbies together, I used it as inspiration and added my own twist.

The playing cards are made with Belgian chocolate - enough for each guest to have their own. The bottom tier was fruit cake - and the top tier a vanilla sponge cake. The idea was to keep the bottom tier for Christmas. It travelled over to East Yorkshire for the celebration and arrived in pristine condition which was a relief - standing up models are always a worry.

My client sent me a lovely photo of the family and birthday girl with her cake. I hope you all had a lovely time.

I have a fab customer who always asks for food / drink based cakes. In the past I have made her fish and chips and a cheeseboard. This year it was a pint of Guinness - of course I said. I do love carved cakes, although they come with a fair amount of risk - one wrong swish of the knife and you may have to start from scratch!

This was a chocolate cake, filled with chocolate buttercream, covered in chocolate ganache and fondant.

Happy birthday Andy, hope you had a lovely day.

I've been going through my cake photos this week and found quite a few I haven't shared with you. First off is this lovely pink cake for a lovely lady turning 18.

The brief was pink, girlie, butterflies and bubbles.

So I went rose gold, made a personalised bottle of bubbles with Ebony's name and vintage on it. Some choccies, butterflies and some rose gold rice paper at the back along with a sparkly cardboard topper and plenty of sprinkles.

Happy birthday Ebony - hope you had a lovely day.

❤️ 😍

Spring has definitely sprung with this cake! It was a delight to make daffodils, primroses, crocuses this week. (Such a shame that when I walked outside I was met with blasts of freezing wind!)

This made for a lady celebrating her 90th birthday who likes spring flowers. It was 3 layers of lemon cake with lemon curd and lemon buttercream filling. What a way to celebrate. Happy birthday Margaret, hope you had a lovely day.

Spring has come to my kitchen!

Hummm, thinking I should have put some gloves on today before colouring some rice paper…🤣

I was really pleased when I got this order for a hat box cake, as I hadn't made one before. The brief was for it to be full on girlie - so lots of pink, gold, hearts etc etc.

I was more than happy to find my inner girlie and oblige. I made a little pink handbag and put the birthday girl's initials on it, added some buttercream rosettes, and chocolates dusted with edible gold lustre.

A very happy birthday Dana, what a fantastic cake to celebrate your double digits birthday.

This was 3 layers of chocolate cake filled with chocolate buttercream.
