Classic Victoria sponge

A victoria sponge loaf style. Ideal for small birthday gatherings. Happy birthday Chloe!

Karen's 50th chocoholic birthday cake

My sister, Karen hit the big 50 this weekend and to celebrate I made a chocolate fudge cake. It was filled with rich chocolate butter icing and mixed with bits of flake. I drizzled lashings of caramel sauce over the top and the sides of the cake and finally, added some tasteful gold leaf. The fudge cake was lovely and moist and the flake-filled butter icing was a good choice and one I shall do again!

Bluebell Cupcakes

To celebrate one of my favourite flowers I made Bluebell themed cupcakes. The English bluebell is in full bloom this time of year and our woodland has a carpet of purple running through it, as the photos below shows. I made the classic vanilla sponge, topped with a rice paper bluebell circle and finished off with vanilla butter icing.
