Birthday & Special occasion cakes
Below is a list of my favourite cakes. That said, I'm always on the look out for new favourites - just ask!
- Light lemon yoghurt
A recipe I found tucked inside a second-hand book. Gorgeous and light. The perfect 'ladies' cake! I like to pair this with a Swiss buttercream & tiny flowers for decoration.
- Blueberry Boy Bait
With a name like that, who could resist! A recipe dating bake to 1954. This is the cake to have if in need of some boy baiting! Read the full story here.
- Old fashioned chocolate
I like to mix this one up to suit different tastes. A rich chocolately chocolate cake which can be paired with chunks of turkish delight, espresso, orange zest, violet crumble - the choices almost endless.
- Hazelnut & orange
A classic flour-less cake with a extra nutty hazelnut influence & gorgeous syrup poured over after baking.
- Shortcake Slice
Buttery goodness with seasonal fruit - raspberry, blueberry, chocolate & salted peanut (I know that isn't a fruit!), rhubarb. . .
- Rich dark chocolate & French cocoa brownie
Fudgey goodness, sometimes with cookies & cream crumbled in & over! Oh, yes!
