Happy 80th Birthday!


Unfortunately we wont be around for this special Birthday as we are on a ski break, bad timing. So fruit cake is the only option here, granted not many people like the stuff, but its the only thing that i can make in advance. The fruit cake has been covered in Marzipan, most people dont like that either so i have kept it thin, but i pressume it must have some importance so i didnt want to leave it off. The marzipan layer is then covered in Reglaise icing and decorated with sugar flowers.

Happy 25th Birthday


Today it is my friends Birthday so i made her her ideal cake, Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, she is fond of the stuff! The icing is made with White chocolate and decorated with Thornton's chocolates. Giving up chocolate for lent is going to have to be put back a day....

Eat me!

This week i made a cake for Sam's first birthday, it was a plain sponge with chocolate butter icing, cut to the shape of a number 1, unfortunately i didn't get to take a photo before it was eaten and thrown on the floor. However, I have just found a photo of some cupcakes that i made before i started this blog so i thought i would put those up instead, i'll be make a lot more like these in the run up to my Dads wedding ...
