🤠 Even grown-ups can have cowboy cakes! 🤎

A cowboy-themed 70th birthday cake for Jeezy, complete with boots, a hat, guitar and, of course, a big old 70 buckle!

I absolutely loved making this one. You’re never too old for a themed birthday cake! 🎂

Happy 70th Birthday Jeezy! 🥳

When a client sends you an AI-generated picture and asks you to make it into a cake… the fear of God is put into you, especially on a 14 inch cake! 🙈🤣

This one was for Rosie’s birthday, and I have to admit, I did have a little moment wondering how on earth I was going to recreate it! 😂

A muddy rally track, a little rally car, a forest full of trees and a pile of logs later, here we are! 🌲🚗🤎

I thought it would be fun to share the original AI picture alongside my finished cake so you can compare the two!

What do you think? Have I done it justice? 🥰

Happy Birthday, Rosie! ❤️🎂

I've had the pleasure of making cakes for this wonderful family for a while now, and today we are celebrating a brand new addition!

Welcome to the world, sweet Oscar, and happy 1st Birthday! 🐻✨

For his big debut, we went with a classic light blue drip cake, complete with an adorable fondant bear.

I hope you had a fabulous first birthday Oscar!

Thank you for letting me continue to be part of your celebrations!

🥃 A VERY BIG birthday cake! 🎂

I started making Toby’s bespoke Jack Daniel’s bottle cake thinking I had everything planned… only to realise part way through that it didn’t even fit on the board! 🤦🏼‍♀️ (For reference this board was 16 inch’s).

So, a little bit of cake-maker problem solving later, we had this absolute monster of a bottle🥃🤣

Every part was handmade and hand decorated, from the bottle shape and gorgeous amber detailing to the iconic label and finishing touches.

I absolutely LOVE making cakes that are a little bit different, and this one was definitely one to remember! ❤️

Happy Birthday Toby! 🥃🎉 I hope you had the best birthday!

A little touch of vintage elegance for Sophia & Louisa’s 11th birthday celebration at the beautiful The Grand, York. 💕🫖🌸

I absolutely loved creating this bespoke cake, inspired by the girls’ afternoon tea party — with pretty turquoise, delicate pink florals, vintage-style details, gold accents and, of course, those all-important little teacups! 🧁🌷

From the tiny clock and golden key to the pretty florals and personalised details, every element was handmade and designed especially for their special day.

Delivered to The Grand, York, ready to be the centrepiece of a very special afternoon celebrating two beautiful birthday girls. 🎂✨

Happy 11th Birthday Sophia & Louisa! I hope your afternoon was filled with lots of laughter, delicious treats and the most wonderful memories. 💕

Pinky fingers out! 🌸☕️✨

I absolutely adored creating this elegant, Tea Party-inspired cake for a lovely set of sister twins on their 11th birthday.

Anyone that knows me will know that creating girlie cakes I love doing, so this was no different.

A huge happy birthday to the twins!

I hope your celebration was as sweet as this cake.

And the best part? I get to do it all again next week but bigger for their party!! 🎂💕

Happy 80th Birthday, Granny Sue! 🎉

It was such a pleasure to create this custom cake that celebrates everything the birthday girl loves. I had to combine three of her favorite things into one sweet design:

⛵️ Her beloved sailing boat right at the top.
🌸 A peaceful garden scene complete with a bench, spade, and watering can.
🧶 And a special nod to her passion for knitting!

I hope your weekend away with your family is filled with joy.

Happy Sailing, Happy Gardening, and Happy Knitting! 🎂

When it's a milestone 60th birthday, you have to go all out with the details! 🚘 🍟

We had so much fun bringing this custom creation to life for a Porsche enthusiast.

Featuring a handcrafted edible Porsche crest, a bottle of Jack Daniel's, car keys, their dog, and a top layer piled high with fish and chips……this cake is packed with personal touches.

Can it get anymore personal!

Happy 60th Birthday! 🎂
