I must have a bit of a rectangle obsesh going on but they’re sooooo good to feed a crowd and to cut at a party they’re a dream! This one I’m back to the signature chocolate cake and sugargeek Swiss meringue buttercream but this time I made a raspberry compote to sandwich between the layers and quite honestly, it was the most delicious cake and Will claims the best cake I’ve ever made flavour wise. Tried some cool watercolour art as there was too much “blank canvas” for my liking but enjoyed using flowers again. Still enjoying making the rice paper sails as they’re so effective. The morning of this party I made a split decision to bake and ice a Buddy GF cake as well as the party girl is GF and that was a bit cute too! the Lamborghini was because she was being gifted a supercar drive at Hampton Downs - if you’re wondering!

This was a rather special one for a special human who was celebrating his *cough cough* EIGHTIETH birthday! I first met Bob, my best friend’s Dad, 32 years ago. He would have been about 5 years older than I am now at the time. And that fact blows my mind. It was my absolute pleasure to create a cake for him and there was not one morsel left at the end of this monster of a cake. It was my lemon cake layered with lemon curd, vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream (thanks ) with some personalised toppers made with my trusty Cricut. I got to make more rice sails (they’re so cool and so effective!) and use all gold sprinkles, glitter and dust. All the things I love. Happy Birthday, Bob. I should mention - this was also Blake’s very first time being trusted cake holder in the car - he was so stoked!!!

I have wanted to try the rice paper sails for a while and finally had a need! Love, love, love them! Simple but so effective and add height to loaded cakes. This was a surprise 65th birthday cake for my father in law who just quietly helps us out so much but never expects a thing in return 🍀 My go-to signature chocolate cake never disappoints and this time I tried buttercream which is very similar to SMC but no heating the egg whites - such a great recipe and made the most perfect amount of icing so will be a go-to now. Always trying new things, always learning. This cake was a show stopper.

Maddox turned THREE! Of course nothing but the coolest cake for the coolest little dude. signature chocolate cake - because it is the best. Had some dramas with the SMBC and high water content in the butter this time around which was tricky but we got there in the end. Super cute that his cars could travel through the cake.

My favourite turned 40! As he didn’t want a fuss or to spend money or time on his milestone, I planned a surprise 40th gathering with his closest friends, siblings and in-laws including all their offspring. Over 30 bodies in our house called for a large cake (which we only consumed 1/3 of whoops!). My most favourite chocolate cake of chocolate cakes, clever signature chocolate cake which always has guests asking how many kg of chocolate are in it (hint- NONE!!) and even those who claim to not like cake (weirdos) love it. Classic black, gold and cream colouring with decorations from (loving the golden balls!), easiest ever Swiss meringue buttercream, a 40 cut by yours truly with my trusty (always a joy to make things for cakes with it). My brother asked if it was meant to look like a poured glass of Guinness. And given the man is Northern Irish I wish I thought of that myself 🤣 🍻 🍀 I am so lucky I can make cakes for my family because the cost of ingredients alone is ouch these days! Thinking of all those cakers I out there trying to make ends meet!

When my kids ask me to make a themed cake I just don’t know anything about 😂 Blake turned 9 and wanted a Fortnite cake- but since about 3 years ago when I last did a Fortnite cake, DJ Marshmallow is no longer the “it” character don’tcha know. Introducing Peely Banana 🍌 who is his fav alongside Christmas Santa Snoop Dogg. What even is this game? My tried and true signature chocolate cake literally never disappoints even for people who don’t like chocolate cake and this time I gave easy vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and it was a dream to ice and pipe with. Couldn’t be happier. Also, square cakes are so great to cut up! 8 extra humans to sleepover and with only minutes til they get picked up, this mumma is going to lie on the sofa.

NERF. Because Will only makes boys, I never got to host a fairy party or a Frozen Party. Instead I get to run Nerf parties and Skibbidy toilet parties 😵

This one was actually okay though. Will ran the war and finished with some indoor football and I kept everyone fed. Happy days!

A NERF cake: Magnolia Kitchen signature chocolate cake is the best recipe for birthdays, filled with dark chocolate ganache and covered in Bakels Pettinice fondant including hand cut logo. I am getting sneaky in my old age and making less - those are just new bullets and a gun he can keep.

Happy Birthday to our baby boy 🩵
