Mum's Birthday Cake




I decided to make Mum a birthday cake with three different flavours all in one cake: after all Mum said she liked chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in equal measures so who was I to say no!
So the results speak for themselves.

Christmas Cakes (As featured on Nicki Chapman's Radio 2 Show)



Rich fruit cake for Christmas; nothing better. I used a recipe for a boiled fruit cake from my college. 





These are examples of the Christmas cakes that I made:



 Chante c'est noel!
The Holly and the Ivy!






Oh Little Town of Bethlehem!


A Child is Born

Scott's 40th Birthday Surprise Cake


This cake was a real challenge!
My friend David wanted a very special birthday cake created for his brother-in-law's 40th birthday. He showed me an idea he liked of a champagne bottle exploding with shiny stars. Was I up to the challenge of making a similar one?  It was over Christmas so most of my Christmas cake orders were well on the way to completion so I agreed. 
The results were as follows:
Pulling The Pin

Pop!

Happy 40th Scott!
