Yesterday I returned to Ballyseede Castle Hotel to collect my cake plates and look at the "horse" I bumped into 🤣 He really does make me look tiny. Such a gentle giant 🥰

I can honestly say I've had the week from hell, but this vintage inspired Lambeth style cake for Brenda and Michael, and the subsequent message I got from them, was the absolute highlight. Making somebody's day extra special, whatever the occasion, is the best part of this job, and never underestimate the power of positive feedback, it's always truly appreciated 🥰 I absolutely love going to Ballyseede Castle Hotel aswell, because I get to make a fuss of their two giant Irish Wolfhounds. Those dogs are absolutely HUGE 😍

A very modern 40th birthday cake for Thuli's special birthday. The theme of the cake and decorations were all carefully thought out by the birthday girl herself and she celebrated in style at the Charleville Park Hotel.

A very happy 80th birthday to Theresa. I won't lie, this cake worried me in 28° heat. With no sugarpaste for stability, a stacked buttercream cake is at the mercy of the elements, and the addition of a lot of heavy handmade sugar flowers just adds to the possibility that something could move in transit or when set up. Thankfully all was well and I think we can all agree I got Theresa's age wrong on the sign, there's no way that lady is 80 😯

What a week. How I held it together is a miracle in itself. And as if the heat wasn't challenging enough for making cakes, my daughter had to go and lose her passport 36 hours before she was due to get on a plane 😭 What ensued was panic, tears, more panic, and then the saviour that is my amazing husband stepping forward and taking her all the way to Dublin to get a same day passport because I couldn't let my customers down. That man is a saint and I count my blessings every day that he's OUR saint. She made that flight, it was tight, but she's now partying it up in Mallorca and making memories that'll last a lifetime. My own memories of this week I'd actually rather forget thank you very much 🤣

My profession is not an easy one in these temperatures. Butter and chocolate are not designed to hold up at 25/26/27 degrees, and the fridge isn't the answer either. Taking a cold cake out of a fridge into a warm room is not a pretty sight. Condensation happens within minutes, fondant gets wet and sticky and colours can run. Not using a fridge is no better. Buttercream between cake layers gets soft and creates visible bulges underneath the fondant, stacked cakes can start to sag. So what's the answer? If you find it let me know. I settled for short bursts in the fridge, just long enough to firm things up, but not too long that they became too cold. It's a juggling act. So I was very glad to see the back of this working week. As for next week, it'll be more of the same 🙈😭🙄😉
