Pretty Poppy Party Cake

Linda ordered this pretty poppy cake to celebrate her mother's special birthday today! Poppies are Brenda's fravourite flowers and so they had to take pride of place on her cake! The base tier is a hot toddy fruit cake and the top tier vanilla cake filled with blueberry compote and vanilla buttercream! Wishing Brenda a very happy 70th birthday!

Dotty Stripey Sweet Sixteen Cake

We made this cake last week for an end-of-summer garden party to celebrate Ginny's sweet sixteen! The cake was four tiers of different flavoured chocolate cake: jaffa (Belgian chocolate cake soaked with orange sirop and filled with orange buttercream), sumptuous chocolate (Belgian chocolate cake filled with white chocolate buttercream), after8 (Belgian chocolate cake filled with minty buttercream) and chocolate cherry (belgian chocolate cake baked with morello cherries and filled with vanilla buttercream and cherry compote). The theme of the party was dots and stripes and the colour palate shades of peach. The party was held in a marquee which was decorated with dotty and stripey bunting and the chair covers were tied with funky dotty ribbon. Fabulous!

Stately Home Cake!

I was commissioned to make a very special party cake to celebrate the 80th birthday of a gentleman called Wallie.  Wallie's passion is for history and in particular historical houses.  His daughter-in-law informed me that he is a keen visitor to National Trust properties and so for his birthday I designed him his very own stately home cake which was adorned with his monogrammed initials piped onto the pediment:

Musical Cake!

I designed this monochrome musical cake for a lady who wanted to surprise her partner on his birthday this Saturday.  The gentleman in question is training to be an opera singer so we thought a music themed cake would be perfect!  The couple love chocolate and so I made a two tier chocolate devils foodcake; triple layered with chocolate fudge frosting and white chocolate buttercream frosting.  The top tier was hand piped with treble clefs and the bottom tier musical notes!
