Shooting Stars Birthday Cake
Had a lovely day today. Lots of cake orders this week so I wanted to plan to have some time with Dexter so that he was not watching every episode ever made of Ben Ten.
We went to the gym and had a work out, had lunch there, picked up his nanny and all went to the park.
So now that he is tucked up and fast asleep I can tell you about my latest cake.
Tiffany Birthday Cake
Good evening folks.
All is quiet again. My son Dexter has been staying with his nanny up north for a week and he got back yesterday.
Within an hour of his return the lounge was upside down and the noise level was up a couple of decibels.
As he is now fast asleep it is peaceful and I can get a bit of work done without being asked why dogs can’t talk or what the sharpest thing in the universe is.
For all the noise and interruptions I am so pleased he is home.
I made a couple of cakes over the weekend - theres a funny thing! … continue reading ‘Tiffany Birthday Cake’
Lemon Birthday Cake
Hello again, I am back after my hols. The weather I ordered did not turn up except for a few hours one morning when I got very sunburned.

Back to the point in hand. This lemon cake was made for a 50th birthday celebration. … continue reading ‘Lemon Birthday Cake’

Bowser Birthday Cake
This cake was made for a 5th birthday party. The birthday cake itself was vanilla sponge cake with vanilla butter cream filling. The usual layer of marzipan was omitted and replaced with a layer of fondant icing.
I began by making the Bowser figure who, for anyone who does not have a five year old boy is a character in the Mario series of computer games. … continue reading ‘Bowser Birthday Cake’
Fairy Toadstool Birthday Cake
This cake was made for a 60th birthday celebration for a lady who loves fairies.
It is a vanilla sponge cake with vanilla butter cream filling.
The first thing I did with this cake was to make the fairies and pixies so they had plenty of time to harden. I used coloured fondant with gum tragacanth added (see jewel wedding cake) … continue reading ‘Fairy Toadstool Birthday Cake’
Pink Handbag Birthday Cake
This cake was made for a girl’s 7th birthday party.
It was a vanilla sponge cake with vanilla butter cream filling. I missed out the marzipan on this one and substituted it with a layer of fondant icing.
There was not too much shaping to do with this cake because the shape of the bag was almost rectangular. … continue reading ‘Pink Handbag Birthday Cake’
