โœจ A little something different from The Baking Maidโ€ฆ โœจ

A rich, alcohol-infused fruit cake was requested to celebrate Robโ€™s 80th Birthday in Cornwall this week ๐ŸŽ‰

Fruit cake isnโ€™t something I get asked to make very often, so it was a real pleasure to dig out the traditional family Christmas cake recipe , (yes I know itโ€™s July), and create something a little different.

This cake was first covered in a layer of marzipan and then finished off with smooth, luxury white fondant and shimmering-blue personalisation.

Sometimes, itโ€™s the classic designs that make the biggest impact. ๐Ÿ’™

Are you a fruit cake fan?
Or prefer sponge cake ?

It may be the end of the football season for someโ€ฆ

But not for Rocky who is celebrating his 12th birthday here in Mousehole, Cornwall.

I absolutely loved creating these personalised, football themed cupcakes !
Any guesses as to which football team Rocky supports ?

And why have 1 flavour, when you can have 3โ€ฆ!
Vanilla cupcakes with a mixture of lemon curd, strawberry and raspberry jam, made by Abi's Vegetables, Jams & Chutneys

Are you, or do you know anyone that is celebrating an event in Cornwall?
Please do get in touch as Iโ€™d love to create something special for you!

A bit of a personal, sentimental post todayโ€ฆ ๐Ÿฅน

If youโ€™ve been following The Baking Maid journey, youโ€™ll already know that I lost my Mum last year.

If it wasnโ€™t for my Mum, there would be no Baking Maid !

She taught me to bake from a very early age, encouraged me every step of the way, and passed on the skills and love of baking that I still carry with me today.

Losing her, changed my world completely!
For a while, I felt like Iโ€™d lost my identity and my passion for baking.
But with true grit and determination, whilst navigating my way through grief, I found my way back to doing what I love. ๐Ÿฐ

Every cake I bake, every cupcake I decorate, and every celebration Iโ€™m trusted to be part of, is because of my Mum and everything she taught me.

Your support means the world to me too though !
Whenever you order from my little business, please know that no bake leaves my kitchen without a little love inside. โค๏ธ

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mum.

Thank you for making me the baker I am today!
I promise to carry your legacy and your love on, in every bake I create. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฆ‹

Every bespoke order starts with the little detailsโ€ฆ

These tiny pieces of fondant are slowly becoming something special for an order next week.

Any guesses what it will be ?

Leave your guesses in the commentsโ€ฆ
Iโ€™ll reveal the finished creation next week! โœจ

Can you believe weโ€™re already in the second half of the year? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Where is the time going?!

Iโ€™ve recently received lots of last-minute cake enquiries for July, and Iโ€™m so incredibly grateful. Unfortunately, my diary now has very limited availability, so I havenโ€™t been able to accommodate every request.

I will always do my very best to squeeze in last-minute orders whenever I canโ€ฆ but sadly, my superwoman powers can only stretch so far! ๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง

So, just a little reminderโ€ฆ

If you have a birthday, celebration, anniversary or any special occasion coming up, Iโ€™d love to hear from you as early as possible.

Booking ahead helps secure your preferred date and gives me plenty of time to create something truly special, made just for you. ๐ŸŽ‚

Finally, Iโ€™d just like to say a huge thank you!

Every enquiry, every order, every like, every comment and every share means so much to me. Your support allows me to continue doing what I love!

Thank you for choosing The Baking Maid to be part of your special celebrations.
It really does mean the world. ๐Ÿฉท
