Is it really that long since I made that cake?

Is it really that long ago I made that cake?

I recently made a Bob the Builder cake for a little boy who was 2 years old. I hadn't realised that Bob was still popular.

There was much discussion regarding the style of the cake, but eventually the client found a Bob the Builder Cake on my website that was just what she was looking for.

The cake itself was no problem, easily done , but it got me thinking! The cake on the website was for "Harry" age 1. Well, Harry is now 14 so it's 13 years ago that I made that cake. Looking through my pictures there were a number of cakes that I have made where the child is now an adult or about to get married themselves. It made me feel very old but also very proud that the families involved still want me to make their cakes for them many years on, and soon Harry will be 18!

Vintage style pink and white wedding cake

  This is a beautiful cake there is no doubt about it, but whilst it is stunning there is also some sadness behind it.   The cake was designed with a bride and groom for their wedding. It was to be in pink and white with edible cake lace pieces, vintage roses, and hydrangea sprays over 5 gorgeous tiers. Sadly, the couple decided not to get married and to go their separate ways. This happens far more than people realise and there are many reasons why couples choose not to get married in the end.   It’s very distressing for the couple and their families and it is a tricky one for suppliers and although our hearts go to the couple whose hearts are no doubt broken, we must learn not to take it to heart and to provide our service to the next couple who do continue with their wedding plans.   So, I was left with this beautiful cake design that I was never going to make for an actual wedding, so I made it anyway and used it as a display cake for various wedding fairs.   I th

Purple and lilac heart wedding cake at The Hop Farm Wedding Venue

  This beautiful wedding cake was made for Claire and Mark who were married at the Hop Farm, Paddock Wood in the summer of 2017.   Claire and Mark chose a 3-tier heart shaped wedding cake iced in white icing. Their wedding had a purple and lilac theme, and they wanted their cake to reflect this.   Each tier of the cake was decorated in two tone ribbon in purple and lilac around the edge of each tier. The lilac and purple themed was reflected in the cascade of purple, lilac and white roses that cascaded across the front of the cake diagonally and on the top of the cake.   The cake was finished with lilac, white and purple hearts on wires standing proud of the cake.   The overall cake looked amazing especially when it was set up at the Hop Farm in front of the Oast Fireplace.
