A simple celebration cake in pastel pink and cream.

A cake for my display unit using two polystyrene cake dummies covered with buttercream/ganache and finished with some simple silk flowers.

The real thing would be perfect for many different celebrations.

Wishing Patricia a very happy 70th birthday!

Celebrating on Sunday with her family, her daughter arranged a few surprises including a cake.

The cake was a 6" lemon sponge, drizzled with fresh lemon syrup and filled with tangy lemon curd and lemon buttercream/Belgian white chocolate ganache. Covered with the buttercream/ganache in a semi-naked style, decorated with pale lemon white chocolate drips and lots of fresh summer berries.

Thank you Lisa for asking me to create for your very special mum. xx

Congratulations to Craig on his 60th birthday!

Lots of secret planning went on for this cake by his wife and son ahead of the celebrations on Saturday.

Craig's cake was 10" - three layers orange sponge drizzled with fresh orange syrup, filled with apricot jam and vanilla buttercream/Belgian white chocolate ganache. Covered with milk chocolate buttercream/Belgian milk chocolate ganache and decorated with lots of allotment-themed handmade sugarpaste decorations. I did have to cheat with the Bavarian bunting and print that on paper, as the pattern was so fine.

Jackie, thank you for asking me to create for you and I hope Craig loved his surprises!

Congratulations to Lorna and Charles on their 50th Wedding Anniversary!

They celebrated with a family meal at the weekend and a surprise cake!

The cake was entirely dairy and soya free, with new recipes for me to create. A 6" vanilla sponge filled with raspberry jam and whipped white chocolate and vanilla buttercream – substituting the cream, white chocolate and butter with plant-based alternatives. I don’t think you’d have known from looking at the cake, it worked really well and I’d use the ingredients again.

Decorated with swirls of the buttercream/ganache, sugarpaste flowers, edible gold leaf and a beautiful bespoke cake topper which Kimberley provided.

Thank you, Kimberley, for asking me to make for you and I hope you all had a lovely celebration.

Wishing Jess a fantastic time celebrating her 21st!

Jess loves red velvet cake and this recipe from Helen Mansey’s book always turns out beautifully.

The 8” sponges were filled with whipped Belgian white chocolate ganache/ vanilla buttercream which complement the flavours. Covered and decorated with the same frosting, chocolate drips, macarons and her favourite pink gins – provided by mum.

Thank you again, Jo, for asking me to make for you. Hope you all had a wonderful time. xx
