Arty Birthday cake

Peter's 40th Birthday

Darth Vader Cake

A cake that was described as 'wicked', this was a chocolate torte cake with chocolate filling, not for the fainthearted! It was a challenge to do, and I really missed Darth, hanging around my kitchen, when I had to hand him over to Nigel, to give to his son Stephen for this 14th Birthday .

50th Wedding Anniversary

This was a luscious marsala soaked fruit and nut cake that was for a large 50th Wedding Anniversary party, the cake cut like a dream, I was told, and everyone throughly enjoyed it. The decoration was a classic white and red roses on an ivory coverered cake, with marzipan, of course.

Cupcakes

Here are some coffee and walnut cupcakes with some lovely cute pink flowers on top, they were quite difficult to eat in one mouthful!
And these were white chocolate mudcake cupcakes, with a raspberry cream topping, although easier to eat in one mouthful, they were very rich and tasted divine.

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.
