Iona's Birthday cake

This was a cakes for one of my mother in laws friends, it was a rich fruit and nut cake, drenched in madeira, with marzipan and white sugarpaste covered in lots of sugarpaste flowers. It took a long time to get the flowers made, but i think that the end product was worth it!

Paul's Birthday

It is always more difficult designing a cake for men, however this is a great design, and since it looked like a present, it killed two birds with one stone (not really, I did buy a present as well, he would never let me get away with that!) It was my carrot cake recipe inside, he adores it, probably due to the rum-soaked raisins that make it so moist.
