A cake for a birthday

We make a lot of Birthday cakes which I will add now and again, here's just a selection, from something very pretty and girly with paper thin flowers to something that looks like it will tear through another cake...(see chainsaw post!!) We absolutely love making pretty things here and love to be challenged. It's also great to find out different ways of doing things like different ways to make flowers that we've made for years. It's always eye opening.
Last week as well as the eight tier lace cake; which Helen and Stuart loved(!) we made amazingly chocolatey chocolate birthday cake which certainly killed the chocolate cravings for a week or two... and we made an 'exquisite' little rose and pearl flower spray for a ruby wedding anniversary. Images of this will also be uploaded when the computer plays ball and uploads them. Cake toppers which were sticking out of the top of the chocolate cake were also made last week with 'Happy Birthday' and message piped on to pink hearts and stars. It was all we could do to stop ourselves from eating the remaining revels, milky bar buttons, galaxy caramel balls, malteasers... the list goes on. But we were restrained. It is Summer after all...!!
