Feed the birds

24/08/2026

When the birthday boy is the man you married, and you’re trying to make his birthday cake without him knowing, there’s one golden rule… KEEP IT SMALL! 😂🎂

And when your birthday boy has a love of birds (yes, the feathered variety… I think hes a little too old for the other kind! 😂🐦), the design choice was easy!

I decided on this little bird feeder, complete with some rather colourful feathered visitors. 🐦🌿

Inside was one of John’s favourite flavours — a classic lemon drizzle cake, filled with delicious lemon curd, lemon frosting and finished with a layer of white chocolate ganache. 🍋🤍

And because a birthday celebration is always better when there’s enough cake to share, I also made a batch of chocolate cupcakes for the family to take home and enjoy. 🧁

I have to say, I really enjoyed making this one! The design was inspired by a post I spotted several months ago, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to put my own spin on it.

🎨🎣 A very special shared 70th birthday cake! 🎂

I absolutely loved creating this cake for Jayne & Richard, especially as I was given a completely free rein — with just one request… incorporate their hobbies! ❤️

🎨 Jayne — a keen watercolour artist
🎣 Richard — a keen fisherman

So their passions became the inspiration for the design, complete with fishing rod, paint palette, brushes, easel and a little wooden signpost reading:

🎣 Gone Fishing…
🎨 Painting Happy Thoughts…

Surrounded by a peaceful little riverside scene, complete with reeds, stones and daisies. 🌿🌼

The cake serves around 60 portions and is a Genoese sponge with raspberry conserve, vanilla buttercream and rich white chocolate ganache. 🍰

It will take pride of place at their celebration in their beautiful home and garden, surrounded by family and friends. 🥂🌿

Thank you Jayne & Richard for trusting me and giving me the creative freedom to make something truly personal to you. ❤️

✨ A little birthday cake elegance… ✨

There’s something so beautiful about keeping a cake classic, elegant and timeless 🤍✨

This stunning celebration cake was created using a rich chocolate sponge, layered with smooth chocolate ganache and buttercream, then beautifully wrapped in edible sugar.

The design was finished with a delicate ribbed effect, hand-cut sugar flowers, edible pearls and elegant gold and white details — all carefully handmade to create a truly bespoke finish. 🌸🤍✨

At CakeArt Creations, every cake is designed and handcrafted with your celebration in mind. Whether you’re looking for something elegant and understated or a completely bespoke showstopper, I’d love to create something special for you. 🎂

✨ FROM AI IMAGE TO REAL CAKE ✨

This is an interesting one to share…

My customer sent me an AI-generated image as inspiration for the cake they wanted — and alongside it you can see the real cake I created at CakeArt Creations.

AI can produce the most beautiful cake designs, but there is one rather important difference…

AI doesn’t actually have to make them! 😂

It doesn’t have to work out whether those delicate wings will stand securely, whether the flowers can actually be made from sugar, how the decorations will attach to the cake, how everything will cope with gravity, or whether the finished design can be safely transported.

And some of those impossibly fine details that AI creates simply don’t translate exactly into sugar.

So when I’m given an AI image, I don’t simply “copy” it. I have to interpret it and turn the fantasy into something that can genuinely be created by hand.

For this beautiful three-tier celebration cake, I recreated the soft blush-pink palette, delicate fairy wings, cascading handcrafted flowers, fine floral detailing and elegant piped work — while adapting elements of the original concept to make them achievable in a real cake.

And I have to say, I’m incredibly pleased with the result. 💕

After more than 35 years in cake decorating, this is where experience really matters. Knowing what will work, what needs adapting and how to retain the feel of an inspirational image while creating something completely individual for the customer is all part of commissioning a bespoke cake.

✨ AI may create the inspiration — but a cake decorator has to make it real. ✨

🍋 A little taste of summer! 🫐

A delicious lemon sponge, layered with tangy lemon curd and smooth lemon buttercream, then finished with fresh lemons, juicy blueberries and mint for that perfect summer look.

If you’re planning a garden party, birthday, anniversary or special family gathering, I’m now taking orders for bespoke celebration cakes. Every cake can be designed to complement your occasion, colour scheme and style.

Sometimes a cake is so much more than cake… it’s about celebrating life’s precious moments. ❤️

This week I completed one of the quickest turnarounds I’ve ever taken on!

After listening to a voicemail, I mistakenly thought the cake was needed this weekend. When I telephoned the customer on Monday to discuss the design, I discovered they actually needed it delivered by Thursday for a very special lady’s 81st birthday celebration.

Normally, I recommend booking well in advance, but this was a customer whose Diamond Wedding Anniversary cake I had the privilege of creating last year, so of course I wanted to help.

The design was especially poignant for me, as it was one I’d hoped to make for my own dear mum this year. Sadly, she passed away just a month before her birthday, making this cake even more meaningful to create.

Inside was my signature buttery Genoese sponge, layered with delicious raspberry jam and silky smooth buttercream, before being covered in marshmallow sugarpaste. With such a short timescale, I chose beautiful silk flowers to complete the design, ensuring the cake was finished to the highest standard without compromising on quality.

I’m delighted to say it was delivered safely to San Giovanni in plenty of time for the birthday celebration and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Thank you for trusting CakeArt Creations with such special occasions. It truly is a privilege to play a small part in your family’s treasured memories.

If you have a celebration coming up, I’d love to create something just as special for you. My diary fills quickly, so early booking is always recommended, but if I have availability, I’ll always do my very best to accommodate those last-minute requests too. 💕🎂

🕷️ Even superheroes struggle in a heatwave! ☀️

Poor Spidey couldn’t quite cope with the soaring temperatures and ended up with a little more of a head tilt than I’d planned! 😅 But judging by Otis’s huge smile, I don’t think he minded one bit.

Beneath the handcrafted design was a rich, incredibly moist chocolate cake that disappeared in no time. The best compliment of all is seeing every slice enjoyed by family and friends at the celebration.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Otis! I hope your Spider-Verse adventure was as amazing as your special day. ❤️🎂🕸️

A special 40th birthday cake for one of my own. ❤️

The cement and marble effect was actually my daughter-in-law’s brilliant idea. It couldn’t have suited Marc any better, as he’s incredibly hands-on and loves all things DIY. This month he’s spent countless hours laying the concrete base ready for their new summer house, so it seemed only right that his cake reflected his latest project.

And, of course, it had to be chocolate… anything else and I think I might have been disowned! 🍫😂

The cake was well and truly enjoyed during Part 1 of his birthday celebrations, with most of it disappearing pretty quickly. I’m hoping there was just enough left for him to enjoy a slice while watching the game last night.
