This 10 inch square sponge cake was created last week. It needed to have a clean and simple but intricate stylish design for Bill’s 80th birthday party.
Bagpipes, Canal Boat and Aeroplane 80th Birthday Cake
Firstly I consulted with the client about what kind of style, detail and colours they required which then followed with a computer generated design sent by email for approval.
It’s always best to ask about the person whose birthday it is; what do they like to do, follow, hobbies etc., and then it gives you an idea what to make for the cake.
Designed on a computer first.
To give you an idea of the scale (how small) this design is the plane was about 70mm long. All created using modelling paste onto a board covered with sugarpaste, this was produced a few days before covering the cake so it gave me plenty of time to get it right. The board was then attached to the cake with royal icing which meant that prior to cutting the cake, the design could be removed and saved for memories.
Bespoke 80th Birthday cake
Techniques used in this design involved hand modelling, hand painting and piping and therefore take time and care to reach the desired effect.

Well it’s nearly that time of year again…time to get ready for the big day and organise all the food, puddings and Christmas cakes a few weeks in advance for the big parties. I just had to make these cute little snowmen throwing snowballs at each other, having fun at Yuletide and perched on top of some yummy mini fruit cakes.

Ideal to make all Christmas parties festive with that special touch
These unique hand-made snowmen have their hats and scarves hand-painted in edible gold to match their gold buttons and the gold snowflakes. They will look great on any festive table.

This cake is full of energy and fun. At the top, the burst of tiny flowers leads to a cascade of various sized flowers flowing down the side to the base.
I chose to do this all in white this time however, the design would work just as well using coloured flowers or maybe even a coloured background too.
Being a 3 tiered cake it would be suitable for a birthday, anniversary or a wedding perhaps? The burst of flowers on the top could be substituted for bride and groom figures or reduced in size to fit alongside the figures.
The prices for this design start from around £400 and if you’d like me to decorate a similar cake for your special occasion then please feel free to contact me for a quote.
