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.

60th Birthday

I had a commission to create a 60th birthday cake with roses and pink icing. Girly and sophisticated, so this is the result. The cake was vanilla with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream - classic combinations.

Stephanies's Birthday cake

This was a decadent cake, orange sponge, with orange liqueur drizzle, orange marmalade and buttercream, it had the flourish of feathers on top and the crown-like sculptured gum paste below.

Juliette's 10th Birthday cake

Juliette's birthday - again!! I can't believe it has been a year, she commissioned this snow cake specially, even though it was the beginning of July. Juliette had a toboganning party, hence the snowball and snowflakes. The cake was a heart shaped chocolate cake with jam, and by all accounts it went down a storm - snowstorm that is?

Cookies for twins

I was on a roll with birthday cookies, so made these for the twins birthday. They are pink and brown lemon cookies (lemon being their favourite flavour) that were a little bit classy.

Sue's Birthday

I work with a lovely, and very amusing lady called Sue. She is in Bolton and I am in Solihull, so sending a cake was going to be difficult, and she isn't a cake kinda girl, she is a cookie lass. So since I had my new cookie cutters, I set to work making some pink and white lemon cookies. She was so bowled over she wouldn't talk to me that whole day as she would have burst into tears - I am hoping of joy and happiness.

Sarah & Richards 8th Anniversary

A romantic 8th anniversary cake for a friend's sister, the cake is vanilla sponge, vanilla buttercream with raspberry jam. There are hearts and flowers around the cake and lots of crimson and pink for a girly yet masculine edge!!
